This is what we learned after launching without being ‘ready.’ We missed four launch dates. Then finally decided — 10th July. At 12 a.m. that night, my team told me: “We can’t launch.” We were done. Chaos everywhere. No one slept. We were in calls till 3 a.m., trying to hold things together. That night I realized — our biggest mistake wasn’t the product. It was the people. We had a team filled with folks who just hung around — busy but not productive. So at 8 a.m., we took the hardest call: 🔥 Fired everyone who wasn’t contributing. 💪 Kept just 2–3 people who actually cared. 🧱 Rebuilt step by step, brick by brick. Four days later, we shipped our first product. Twelve days later, we launched Smart Booking. That night changed everything. It taught me more about building than any book, podcast, or mentor ever could. 👉 Biggest learning: Pick your people wisely. Don’t overcomplicate things. Keep it simple — one step at a time.
