Optimise

0:03 Welcome to business purpose and Clarity with patreon your host we talk about startup live insights practical tips mistakes failures and everything between are we there yet is it done is it good enough can we go live please there's time to optimize there's time to deliver and there's a fine balance between those two I'm often irritated really annoyed of the slow progress of the over optimization overthinking playing the nerd came just finalizing everything making sure everything is just perfect before actually going alive doing anything.

1:06 That the end users your customers can what's the point of and optimizing your servers for millions of users if you haven't started your marketing if you don't have a single one paying it's easy and it's comfortable and comforting to be in your own bubble in your development where no one can see no one can refute no one can say that hey your thing sucks it doesn't fulfill the purpose you have built something nobody needs it's not good enough for us we are not paying for this thing how can you make a ongoing business how can you become better if you're not.

2:08 Facing the customer I would rather be in a situation where you need to fix things because things are going so well because there's a huge and you need to scale and things are not exactly in place than where you have spent enormous amount of time and effort execute build endless discussions endless fights endless nights and days and liters of coffee nobody have ever seen that's the frustrating part not planning.

3:12 It's not about not preparing for the future I'm not against building something robust I'm not building something to last something which is really good my whole point is it's a balancing act it's better to get something done get feedback improve get better start start engaging start act like ordinary normal company who has paying and then when necessary need it start to optimize but only when you have something to optimize burst your bubble go out start marketing start talking start exposing yourself start getting the feedback.

4:18 Start become vulnerable start become available to your customers or potential get the ball rolling.
