Selling is not a pushy, winner-takes-all, macho act. It is an empathy-led, process-driven, and knowledge-intensive discipline. Because, in the end, people buy from people.
Don’t try to do everything by yourself, but try to connect with people and resources. Having that discipline and perseverance is really important.
Don’t get distracted. Never tell yourself that you need to be the biggest brand in the whole world. Start by working on what you need at the present moment and then what you need to do tomorrow. So, set yourself manageable targets.
My advice is to focus on the importance of forging a long-term relationship, whether with colleagues, partners, or customers. It is often easy to get caught up in short-term decisions.
If there's something you want to build, but the tech isn't there yet, just find the closest possible way to make it happen.
Launch as soon as you have a quantum of utility and 1% of the world is glad that you did.
