What is the best lesson finding a startup has taught you?

Question

I've found that life's three best teachers are:

1. heartbreaks 
2. empty pockets
3. failures

and startup life is 99 % of the last two. 😆

Be consistent, whether it’s building the product or userbase it takes time. Just being ready for the fact that nothing happens immediately

Answer

I’ve experienced leg paralysis, and I realized that having legs to walk is truly wonderful. 
I’ve experienced business failure and debt, but I managed to pay it off in just two years. 
Maybe I will encounter more in the future, but there’s really nothing to be afraid of. Even if I can’t stand up, I will crawl step by step.

Joonatan · Answer

@juliasuontama Yes it’s not easy to keep that long-term mindset!
