Happy that it helped. Hopefully it helps someone to not make those mistakes.


Yes. Interesting. It is for me a difficult problem the product vs selling... It seems simple at first - "yea, just sell" , but I'm fact often you need good-enough-pridict to sell.

Moreover, the energy(ie money ) to sell will be lost if you try to sell a not-baked-product whereas spending to upgrade the product is never lost... So yes, this building vs selling is to be nuanced ....


Selling is much easier if the product solves a painful problem for the user. Much harder to sell if you are just trying to sell cool features.
