Starting a tech startup solo can be a challenging but rewarding journey. It requires a lot of hard work, dedication, and determination to turn a great idea into a successful business. However, it's not always smooth sailing and there may be times when you need to make positive changes to keep your startup on track.
One important aspect of building a tech startup solo is having a solid business plan in place. This should outline your goals, target market, and strategies for achieving success. It's also important to continuously reassess and adjust your plan as needed to stay on track and stay ahead of the competition. Don't be afraid to pivot or make positive changes to your business. Be open to change and succeed!

IMO, failing is the only way to succeed in making any startup. I am learning that myself- don't beat yourself over it. On top of "done is better than perfect", I would add: "taking any step forward is better than taking none at all". As always - awesome video!

[@tannugupta3293]

Love this video, i am a software engineer and starting freelance and tend to overthink as a perfectionist. This is where i am trying to improve myself on as well, to first concentrate on the functionality and fundamentals and then add on top of that! Recently discovered your channel and love the vibes.

[@aefgshwrthwrhnwrhnbw]

I'd love to watch you do another attempt! There is so much value in watching people fail, succeed, and pivot. I watch these kinds of videos for encouragement and new ideas.

[@avivshvitzky2459]

You've learnt important lessons. The most important thing is keep improving as an individual. I look at development as horizontal and vertical progress. In horizontal progress you keep improving and enhancing existing features, while in vertical you create new features. As a rule of thumb, try to not get stuck for too long on horizontal progress

[@developerfilip]

So many lessons! And that’s part of the journey, not everything is perfect right away, but I’m so excited to push forward because I know how closer the finish line is with this new approach! 💪

[@the_ruknology]

That's amazing, good luck!

[@voboghure-dev]

Excellent! You just motivate me. Thanks.

[@Cryptomania_presales]

I Love to follow your journey, one tip from me: you should definitely collect emails, doesn't matter if there are some fake emails, but this email list is your most valuable asset

[@zaritzki]

Hey Filip, Thanks for this and thinking to continue my start-up project too. I also like, Node.js, MongoDB and Tailwind. Have you start thinking where you going to host this project? especially your code (like Vercel, AWS or digital Ocean), your MongoDB and your images/videos (AWS S3 or Cloudinary)? Looking for cost efficient too. Thank you! Zar

[@perfectbase]

Awesome video! Thanks for sharing your journey! The best way to win the game is to be in the game! Making poor decisions is ok as long as we learn from them and improve our process! I'm also building a solo startup in public in my channel. I'll be following your journey and using it as inspiration for mine. If you wanna chat about startups and entrepreneurism some day, that would be great! 😊 Wish you all the best!

[@deviljuanjox129]

Hi! I need help with something. I'll try to keep it short. I moved to Florida 2 years ago to start college there. A few months ago I moved back to Jersey. I started my associates degree in Computer Programming and Analysis and I'm graduating in about a year or so. I want to be a software engineer so I want to transfer to a good college in the Jersey-New York area to continue my education with a Bachelors but the problem is that I've been trying to get in touch with my college advising center because I dont know if the A.S degree that Im going for right now (Computer Programming and Analysis) is the best one to transfer to another college and so I can do my bachelors in software engineering, I say this because they also offer an A.S in computer science and I dont really know if thats the one that I had to take in order to be a software engineer or if that the one that Im going for right now is the correct one

[@satindar31]

Is this series still continued?

[@axzyteg9049]

very informative content. I also starting out and had the same methodology of perfectionism first which TBH isn't going as planned. Thanks a lot for the insight :)

[@developerfilip]

I’m happy to see others are in the same place! Just find tools that help you execute a minimum acceptable version of what you want, get it working and then start the perfection and feature release process! Happy to have you on this journey with me!

[@ziad7337]

I'd like to see more sexy ui but I think it's important to use low/no code solutions for the startup MVB.

[@SchmataB]

all code, no code, low code - in the end it doesn't matter much. what matters is pushing this baby out into the world and get hate from losers because you've put minimum of effort into your own life and future :) well, maybe not "minimum" but you know what I mean. all the best Filip!

[@developerfilip]

That’s actually very true! It’s all about getting that initial product that works to the public. “Done is better than perfect” :-) Thanks for watching! 😎

[@SchmataB]

@@developerfilip I know it's true because I have 100s of "projects" in my "development" folder. folder is at least 10 years old, I moved it from old machines multiple times. I just started another "project" 2 days ago and it's like this vicious circle of lying to myself any of this will actually get done and out :) that's why I like when people actually get something out of "never-ending idea" phase and put product in front of users.

[@developerfilip]

I couldn’t agree more. I myself have multiple projects in-development that I have never finished. It’s all about getting into the mindset of having something working that a user can use, rather than something pretty that nobody can use 😅

[@lorenzkieran]

I love it 🎉

[@developerfilip]

Thank you!

[@natnaeltibebu7183]

thanks same story, how much hour did you give it per day?

[@developerfilip]

It’s hard for me to tell, I never tracked time, but the previous designs definitely look a long time. I’d say 60 hours of work for sure

[@natnaeltibebu7183]

@@developerfilip love you thanks so much.i am university dropout its really hard please give me some advice & if you dont mind please give me your email thanks.

[@Xamze]

Bro make a video about chatGPT and how it will affect the web devs or is all just a hype!?

[@developerfilip]

It’s all hype - it will help developers for sure, make the work much faster, but won’t really have that much impact on future jobs - unless your job is in the copy department 😂

[@Xamze]

@@developerfilip 🤣🤣🤣

[@goodnessdavid6583]

I'll be brief with my comment Filip. For some reason, I just subscribed to your channel without ever getting hooked on it. I can't imagine how much I've learnt only watching this video. You can bet that you've found a real invested subscriber. Thanks Filip. Good luck with your adventure. Again, thank you

[@developerfilip]

It’s such a pleasure reading that, thanks for joining me on this journey ☺️

[@Nahasify00]

Minimalistic is bettet i think rather than having a lot

[@mukeshtripathi1281]

I am currently learning web development and aspire to become full Stack web developer, can I join your start-up? As an intern without pay?

[@mrcoolz833]

Bro i wanted to start a startup plz helpe bro 🚶

[@mrcoolz833]

Bro , iam from Andhra Pradesh i wanted to start a startup

[@Sri1two4]

Bro You can take inspiration from code with mosh website

[@avivshvitzky2459]

The CTA "Purchase Course" has a problem of being gray and not appealing. You want to highlight this CTA and drive people to click on it. I would suggest a re-design

[@developerfilip]

Oh there will absolutely be a re-design! That button has to be crazy eye-catchy. This is just a proof of concept design, not even an MVP. It will definitely look better than what I have shown. But you have highlighted and spotted a great point!

I think u will start a bootcamp on ur own startup

[@IsaacIsMopped]

I know you have been waiting 💪🤣 Don’t worry, next one is coming in in 1-2 weeks 😉

[@DunckingTest]

@@developerfilip I'm sooooo existing, keep going

[@TechXSoftware]

you could legit pay for SaaS which will give you a course website for your customers can use to create their own course sites. you can legit set it up in a day.

[@developerfilip]

A day? I’m not so sure about that and the possibility of scaling and branding 😝

[@TechXSoftware]

@@developerfilip ah yeh, forgot about that branding and marketing stuff, yes, that part may take a few days more. But you can just pay someone to do that branding and marketing for you to speed things up. I forget remember SaaS course sites names, but you should use them, they create all the course site stuff for you and your clients. You should avoid doing things from scratch as much as possible!

[@just_A_doctor]

Teachable one of them But the idea of Filip is to add value to his product by building it from scratch maybe he is not gonna gain money on the short term but he is gonna gain the experience of marketing and branding and learning more and more .... Wish him the best he deserve the best . 😊 GD luck Filip . 😊
