Founders with a proven track record of building valuable products should feel confident in their instincts and trust their gut more than they think.

I realized that the best way to build a product is to trust your own intuition about what it should be, especially when you're creating something for yourself.

Founders with industry experience should trust their instincts about what their target market wants, as their judgment is likely well-informed.

If your initial launch doesn't attract attention, it's not a reason to give up; instead, iterate and launch again until you find a core group of users who love your product.

Engaging directly with users and leveraging product intuition is vital for making informed decisions in a startup environment.

Launching your product is essential; failing to do so can prevent you from gaining valuable feedback and iterating effectively, but it's not as significant to your users as it is to you, so prioritize launching sooner to validate if it solves their problem.

If you're an early-stage founder without prior experience, you should prioritize launching quickly and learning from real user feedback rather than waiting to perfect your product.

To design a product for success, consider user experience, supportability, and how others can resell it without your direct involvement.

When building a product, it's crucial to identify who genuinely likes it and understand their reasons.
