How to be a great startup founder:
Don’t be an asshole and don’t have an ego.
Talk to customers and really listen to them.
Be optimistic, positive, and inspire others.
Solve one painful problem not 100
Andrew Gazdezki
You don’t need a unique startup idea.
You don’t need to start a new category.
You don’t need to be a market leader.
You don’t need to disrupt anything.
Just solve a problem you understand, serve customers better than others, and build a sustainable business.
Andrew Gazdecki
Never stop improving your startup.
Be relentless across all departments.
Keep opening up marketing channels.
Keep talking to customers.
Keep building new useful features.
Keep making support faster.
Keep improving the sales process.
It all compound’s and this is how you win.

Every founder goes through times:
Where they feel like their startup isn't growing fast.
Where they feel like nothing is working out for them.
Where they feel like they aren't going to succeed.
Please realize that this is normal:
Literally every great startup goes through hard times.
Literally every great founder goes through hard times.
It's part of the game.
So please keep going and keep building.

Startups are hard for everyone.
During tough times please remember:
- all the things you're doing right
- all the progress you've made
- all startups go through hard times
- all the small wins you've made
- all the lessons you've learned
Then get back to building. You got this.

When you’re building a startup please:
- laugh as often as possible
- don’t take yourself so seriously
- give yourself a break
- trust in your team
- work in zone of genius
- exercise, sleep good, eat healthy
- have fun and enjoy the ride
Remember it’s a marathon not a sprint.
Avoid burn out and play the long game.
Andrew Gazdecki
Startups sound awesome but the reality is:
- you'll be working far more for far less
- you’ll be working for a decade
- you’ll be working harder than ever before
- you’ll be working with tons of uncertainty
- you’ll be working with lots of doubt
- you’ll be working with less resources
- you’ll be working against constant failure
Yet the risk is still so worth it:
Because entrepreneurs just feel most alive when building and chasing their dreams.
Andrew Gazdecki
Have fun with your startups marketing.
Celebrate your customers.
Celebrate their success.
Celebrate the outcome you sell.
Celebrate and share their stories.
Because no one remembers a boring brand.
