I Quit Creating Business Plans! When it comes to startups, I’ve learned one thing: nothing goes according to plan. In the fast-paced world of entrepreneurship, nothing is stable, and no plan can truly capture the chaos and unpredictability. So, here’s my new approach: no business plan, just a clear vision of what I want to create. Each day, I focus on adding value and moving forward, not on being held back by assumptions or rigid plans. The reality? 90% of those early assumptions usually miss the mark anyway. Creating a startup demands a level of crazy commitment and fearless experimentation. So, I say embrace the unpredictability, let go of the fear, and keep pushing forward. What’s there to lose? What’s your take? Do you rely on a rigid plan, or do you adapt as you go? 👇 #Startups #Entrepreneurship #NoPlanNeeded #Innovation #Fearless

🚀 First-Time Founder? Focus on Quality Over Quantity! One common mistake first-time founders make is thinking they need to deliver quantity from the get-go. In reality, early success comes from focusing on the right quality that solves customer problems and achieves product-market fit. Instead of trying to build a product with every feature imaginable, start with the essentials. Focus on the minimum features that customers need—then iterate based on their feedback. #Startups #Entrepreneurship #ProductDevelopment #BusinessStrategy #Innovation #Founders

🚀 What if your MVP fails? Failure isn’t the end—it’s just feedback. The key is commitment to iteration. As an entrepreneur, you must lock in this agreement with yourself: 👉 No matter what the MVP reveals, you will not give up hope. The truth is, successful founders don’t quit at the first sign of trouble. But they also don’t stubbornly drive their startup into the ground. Instead, they master the rare blend of perseverance and flexibility. Remember: ✅ Your MVP is just the beginning of your journey to creating value. ✅ Every failure teaches you something new about what your customers truly need. Keep building, keep learning, and keep iterating. That’s how great companies are born. #Entrepreneurship #Startups #MVP #Innovation #GrowthMindset Y Combinator MVP

Entrepreneurship vs. Sales Everyone in the startup world says entrepreneurs need to know how to sell. True enough. But here's the catch. Many think founders need a sales background or should use popular methods like MEDDIC, SPIN, SNAP, etc. Wrong. Those work for established markets and established mindsets. Software entrepreneurs & Startups? They play by different rules. It's all about selling stuff that doesn't even exist. It is a whole new ballgame with different methodologies, tools, skills and strategies. Want to know more about selling the future?
