American investor Matt Gray shares entrepreneurship secrets from his experience and confirms:
“Success does not come from the idea but from smart execution” 🚀
1️⃣ Start alone without a co-founder 👤
Do not believe that success requires a partner..
65% of companies fail due to founder disputes!
The solo founder makes decisions faster, changes direction easily, and retains full ownership.
2️⃣ Love the customer, not the solution ❤️
No one cares about your idea.. everyone only cares about their problem!
Focus on understanding the problem more than inventing the solution, and be obsessed with the customer, not the technologies.
3️⃣ Build a community of followers before the product 🌐
Start building your audience from day one.
💡 The golden equation:
1000 followers × 100 dollars monthly = 1.2 million annually
The community is the true origin of any project.
4️⃣ Make work enjoyable 🎯
92% of founders collapse before success.
The secret?
Work on what energizes you, and build your project around your strengths.
⏱️ Gray works only 4 hours a day because he eliminated everything that drains him.
5️⃣ Keep control of your project 🔐
🚫 Do not compromise your decisions in favor of investors
Warning: Money is not always a blessing.. sometimes it takes away your decision-making power.
Invest wisely and do not sell your freedom.
6️⃣ Test demand before development 📦
Do not build a smart product for a fictitious problem!
Talk to 25 customers, get payment commitments
And create a simple prototype to solve the core problem
🛠️ The market does not care about your brilliance but about its needs
7️⃣ Rely on systems.. not on yourself ⚙️
Every task repeated twice? Document it and automate it
Save your time for strategic decisions, and delegate secondary tasks
📌 The smart founder builds a system that works even while they sleep
