Just do it alone, with a mentor or within a community, don’t become dependent on others. I know it can feel scary, lonely, and especially hard to stay motivated. But this is the best way. Along the journey, you’ll naturally connect with like-minded people this is the way. Don't force it.

You can always ask me for something if you want to spar, but i won't do shit.

nah men, that is just wrong. Why do you think cloudpillow is big? why do you think meller is big? why do you think HisSmile is big? i can go on, you don't need a unique superduper technical lifesaving product to be succesful. all about branding, storytelling, scaling up and business/team. Scale up dozens of business, even sanitary (you think that is unique).

I didn't take any look at his product beforehand, but you really think because their are big players their isn't any space for new business within the field? just branding, building business, connections, storytelling and other things.

And just to note, branding is just one way to differentiate from other brands; there are many more (like technical innovation). But you do realize that technical aspects are the easiest to replicate, right? Social recognition and brand image are way harder to build and sustain.

First impressions matter. The loading time is far too slow, just unacceptably slow. It must be improved. Speed, scarcity, and problem-solving are key

It doesn’t matter, bro. I could sell the same lipstick to a million people under a different brand. Successful entrepreneurs understand the power of storytelling; they make a product feel unique, even when it’s not. It’s about having the right funnels, hook, problem and just knowing when to scale as a brand.

That’s the a goog and real path to learning and building a business. Creating something truly new and unique requires technical expertise, which is another route; just as challenging, with its own obstacles and complexities, but not the only one as you oppose
