What shocked me the most was that competitors aren't always a bad thing, they help you stand out.

I learned that the launch is just the start. The real challenge was keeping the buzz alive and staying consistent afterward.

It's not a race. It's only a start... showing your confidence to release it even when u feel it's imprefect.
