How Long Does It Take to Build a Successful Startup?❓

🫵Be honest: Are you struggling on your entrepreneurial journey? Have countless questions but don’t know where to begin? Trust me, I’ve been there too. Seven years ago, my co-founder @priyankamandal and I started our entrepreneurship journey with nothing. We tried many things, learned through trial and error, and evolved. Fast forward to today, we’ve launched a successful startup LANCEPILOT, became a top product on Product Hunt, and gained over 200 paid customers in a month. 🙈We started with zero resources, yet we managed to overcome every obstacle. How? Through determination and consistency. In the beginning, we didn’t know exactly what to do, but over time, things became clearer. 👉A wise man once said, “A perfect idea is never born; rather, an idea gets perfect with time.” I remember watching an interview with a successful founder early in my journey. When asked how long it took him to achieve his first success, he said it took him eight years. After that, he built eight more successful startups in a single year. This blew my mind. Why should it take so long to build one successful business? Then reality hit, and I experienced the same. It took me seven years to build my first successful startup, and now I understand. Time is needed to achieve that first success, and you must be consistent. 🤔Do you feel the same way? Share your perspective and struggles in the comments. Let me and the Product Hunt community motivate you. To keep myself motivated, I always follow this quote from Elon Musk: 👉“No, I don’t ever give up. I’d have to be dead or completely incapacitated.” Let's hear your thoughts and keep pushing forward together. 🙏
