Tell us about yourself
I wanted to own my own company since when I was a child. I'm passionate about creating new products, finding a market fit, and scaling.
What's your biggest accomplishment as a business owner?
When you are successful in business, that's because you are doing something good for others. You provide something that makes life easier for your customers, resolves a problem, or simply makes them happier. At the same time, you create job opportunities and prosperity for all the people who work for you. That's amazing.
What's one of the hardest things that comes with being a business owner?
Getting product market fit. I think that getting market fit is the biggest challenge for any business owner. Especially if you are in the SaaS field, get a product that your clients are willing to pay, month over month, for a long time. I consider that it is the biggest challenge. Once you resolve the market fit, all your business starts to grow smoothly.
What are the top tips you'd give to anyone looking to start, run and grow a business today?
- Learn to sell before developing a product. No sales, no business.
- Once you have learned to sell, develop an amazing product. It must be the best product out there.
- Love your customers. Always deliver professional customer support.
