How SPECIFICALLY did you fail before you got your first 10 paying customers?

Question

Everybody talks about the wins - but nobody talks about how they failed. In what ways did you fail, before you finally tasted success?

Anton von Hunerbein · Accepted Answer

I have failed a couple of times before my first 10 paying customers.

2/3 - Losing momentum with a team
1/3 - Switch to another project

In what way did you fail?

Adarsh Warrier · Answer

@anton_von_hunerbein Losing momentum - that's always an underlying theme.

Some of the ways I failed:

- Going into paid ads before PMF
- Trying too had on the content strategy through quantity, instead of quality
- Losing confidence in the product before spending enough time understanding the user need
- Not able to find the right customers because of lack of network
