Startups Are Like Plants

by dearroy on 2/27/23, 3:45 AM with 2 comments

This is just my mindset for 2 months of indie hacking.

Starting a startup is like growing a plant:

- you need to select the right seed (idea)

- provide it with enough light (marketing)

- make sure you don't drown it with too much water (features)

Additionally, you must be consistent and patient, and with enough perseverance, you'll eventually see the fruits of your labor.

I want to encourage all indie hackers out there, and wish everyone success until the day their flowers bloom.

    Some analogy it is. Season (timing) matters too. You are likely to see a fruit of you picked right season.

    If you have a wide selection of seeds of varying viability why not just plant them all given the space?
