There are tons and tons. One I can remember right off is that, Validate your problem AND your solution. Both are important!

Starting a business with several people is much better than doing it alone. Once you have found a good distribution of roles and established good communication, everything becomes simpler and more efficient when creating a product with a team rather than by yourself.

1. Adaptability when there is so much unpredictability in the process, market and more 2. Building the product is probably the easiest part 3. It's not about the competition

One big lesson I’ve learned as a founder is to stay flexible. I remember getting super attached to my first product idea, but it didn’t take off. I had to let go of my ego and adapt to what the market wanted. It was tough, but it taught me that being open to change is crucial for success.

I've learned that time is never enough. Several times I found myself in situations where time was insufficient. I cut down on functionality, and time was still not enough, so I cut down even more.
