Here are some snippets from the talk -
1. Talk to customers https://abs.twimg.com/emoji/v2/... draggable="false" alt="đą" title="Public address loudspeaker" aria-label="Emoji: Public address loudspeaker"> - Shouldnât be all time time, shouldnât be never! Talk to few customers/future users casually per week. ]Its that simple. Any channel is ok, talk about problems and not ask them solutions
2. Donât obsess about competition https://abs.twimg.com/emoji/v2/... draggable="false" alt="đ„" title="Boxing glove" aria-label="Emoji: Boxing glove">- Keep an eye on what they are doing, but donât be over worried. Smart creators can even learn from them. Also, donât stress over their numbers
3. Always check if users will pay https://abs.twimg.com/emoji/v2/... draggable="false" alt="đ°" title="Money bag" aria-label="Emoji: Money bag">- Sometimes people miss this. A great product without a solid business will not be sustainable. Test this through direct / indirect channels
4. Find your north star / omtm https://abs.twimg.com/emoji/v2/... draggable="false" alt="đ„

5. Learn to say no https://abs.twimg.com/emoji/v2/... draggable="false" alt="đ”" title="No mobile phones" aria-label="Emoji: No mobile phones">- But be prepared and have options ready. Donât just say no without reasoning / alternatives

6. Kill features
7. Team vs customers https://abs.twimg.com/emoji/v2/... draggable="false" alt="đ€Œ" title="People wrestling" aria-label="Emoji: People wrestling">- Be great to your team always but protect your customers over your team in case you need to (as an answer to the question - people say youâre the best boss, how do you do that)
8. Think simple https://abs.twimg.com/emoji/v2/... draggable="false" alt="đ" title="Globe with meridians" aria-label="Emoji: Globe with meridians">- Dumb down your understanding of the world while building mass products. All your segments are not you. Your users might be extremely more simple and will not give too much time to understand your product.
9. Failure teaches you more than success https://abs.twimg.com/emoji/v2/... draggable="false" alt="đ" title="Fallen leaf" aria-label="Emoji: Fallen leaf">- When things donât work, figure out the reasons, and iterate better next time
