First-time founders, what have been your learnings so far?

Here are my learnings:
- Building community around your product is as important as the product.
- Network with people outside the tech community to get a better perspective on design, sales, and operations.

Sales and marketing is way harder than I previously thought.

Always thought sales spent all day not doing much and the marketing department just burned cash.... oh how wrong I was.

@andrew_isherwood1 Having a similar experience. Initially, I used to be let down by the response, but now I've realised it's going to take time and being consistent and showing up is the best way out.
