For me, one of the biggest lessons has been about focus and prioritization. Don't fall into the trap of chasing multiple opportunities or trying to have too many products/lines. Winners hyper-focus and double-down on one solution and dominating a specific niche/market first before expanding. Spreading yourself too thin is a classic startup killer.

One of the biggest lessons I've learned is the importance of relentless execution and pivoting quickly based on data/user feedback rather than getting too attached to your original idea or vision.

Prioritizing sales and revenue from day 1 is an underrated lesson. A lot of founders, particularly those from more technical backgrounds, get caught up in endlessly building and perfecting the product/tech before even thinking about sales.
