NEW YEAR NEW VIDEO‼️ Let me know your goals for this year👇

[@zaidkaleem]

Loved the video! Great breakdown of the process to go from idea to MVP. Curious to know what you did to service-ify before building your MVP and any important insights you learned from the process?

[@kshitijpatil9015]

One of my Goal this year will be Meeting you In-Person...! 🤞🏻

[@thespur2522]

Finally launch our start up. Starting with the AppStore. Thanks for the great content.

[@tk116]

@jayhoovy How do you prevent a big indirect competitor like Shopify from creating a product that does what you do? Sort of like how FB will copy the hottest trend (tiktok) and implement features in IG to mirror it? Or how Amazon makes it own version of popular products on Amazon marketplace?

I watched 100+ hours of Harvard innovation labs, MIT open courses and Stanford online business videos, but nothing has come this clear and step by step so clearly. Most are all talking about pitching and basic core principles, this is the first and only actual step by step video I’ve seen. When I make my first 10Million I will contact you for sure for the help to humanity you have gave to the world

[@jayhoovy]

Quite possibly the nicest comment I've ever received Luke! Cheers and I can't WAIT for you to crush it and let me know one day!

god it is amazing that you put out this kind of educational content for free. Bless your heart jay, It is so helpful to hear this in my 20s.

[@BelovedKanika]

Hey Love, After 40 years of experience of online shopping and talking to customer service as the entry point of each brand to see hpw they handle refunds I can't stress enough how important an impeccable customer support and service team is to make the client feel like they're right even if they aren't and to agree to refund first and ask questions later. I'm always angry when someone asks me why I needed to cancel if I had to and see it as too personal.a question that's intrusive however I'm very happy to tell them the same answer after the money is back in my bank account in less than 2 days. ❤ You're welcome. Hope you don't have to ever issue a refund and I'm.sure you don't. Thank you for your work. Looking forward to Stan in India that would convert automatically to INR.

[@lukedowneslukedownes5900]

Very informative, chill, and helpful video! Love your whole vibe man 🙌🏼💯💃🏼

[@larlos663]

Great advice! Your channel is seriously underrated, the content is both thorough and concise. Good luck with your company 👍

[@freddyfang]

As a creator/creative now diving into the world of tech startups, this video has been invaluable as I'm creating my first venture. Thank you John for mapping this out! I actually applied to work at STAN last year, and even though I got rejected, it was a great process being able to learn from that... almost believe it was meant to be. Learning a lot from your content, keep it up! I'd love to hear more about becoming the best CEO (people manager) and finding the balance between pushing for goals quickly while also not being perceived as highly ignorant to letting people live their lives. Thanks John!

[@jayhoovy]

Thanks for the kind words Freddy! And glad the videos are helping! Will make sure to work on a video that tries to walk through the nuances I've learned around ppl mgmt (though I'll be first to admit I'm still not very good at it!)

Great video John. Thanks for sharing these insights and great to see your business start to take off big time. Keep at it!

[@jayhoovy]

Thank you so much! Really appreciate the kind words. Any other insights/topics you want me to talk about??

[@uzorthelma9881]

​@@jayhoovyYes, John! I've been desperately looking for great resources on how to properly conduct a user/customer interview. Could you make and publish a video on that, please?

[@speedmariner680]

@@jayhoovy It would be great to hear you talk more about the angel investing phase since that is what many of us are facing first and how you think about cap table management in that context, ie what number of smaller investors to bring on, their terms etc. Also, how did you think about valuation and check size at this stage. Hearing more about growth hacks such as affiliate rev sharing would also be valuable. But no stress, talk about it when you feel keen to. Make sure to get enough down time, and make sure to take the time to enjoy the ride.

​​@@jayhoovyHi, John! Please could you do a video on how to properly talk to customers and conduct a customer interview, please?

[@christinecamley]

John you make outstanding videos. I love your channel so much. I am a psychologist and I really want to say that a lot of what you talk about can transfer to so many areas of people and their lives/careers!! You rock!! I can see you are a person of huge integrity and that means so much in a human being. In fact it's everything. I recently watched a video with your talking to Graham and wow it was outstanding! Have a fabulous day!! Cheers!! 🙂

[@jayhoovy]

Hey Christine - truly thank you so much for your kind words - I feel very seen by your comment. I try my best every day to live up to the integrity and values my mom instilled in me from a young age -- it's a difficult journey as things scale and more and more people throw things my way -- but it's the one I want to stay anchored to. And by the way, I wholeheartedly agree with your thought that the "entrepreneur's journey" is so applicable to so many other kinds of lives -- I think it's really just a medium to explore 1) who we are as people and 2) how we want to express ourselves and show up for others. Thanks again for tuning in!

[@Judaimen]

Thanks for the great vid! Been following for quite a while and love your journey with Stan! Hope you can provide some insights on my current situation: This might sound counter intuitive, but I really want to start my own company, but I am unsure why I can't come up with a problem to solve? I currently work at a seed stage B2B SaaS company backed by prominent VCs and I get really cool insights on how to run a start-up and inspires me to start my own. However, I just simply can't think of a problem to solve? People tell me they have tons of things to solve but no time to do so. I try and think about my pain points at work, our customer's, but nothing has ignited me to start yet. Is it simply to "just wait" until it comes? Rather than try to find it?

[@jayhoovy]

It's a dual process of just wait (don't force it) - but also just keep iterating. You need to trust the creative process (it takes time). What are you passionate about? Follow that trail.

[@Aalok_yt28]

Love this video , I have a question, i am at ideation stage and i would love to get a feedback from you about the idea . How can i do it and how to present that idea to you ?

I’m curious how much affiliation or percent are you getting for each product you host and sell on your site?

[@garrettpatten6312]

Idk I went to the Stan website and it was not very clear to me what the product was all about and I'm certainly not a 70-80 yr old grandma. I wouldn't even put in the effort for a 14 day free trial without more information.

[@nationbuilding5319]

Great video but how do you earn a living while waiting to succeed? That is my only problem. I can code and do everything else but with money to earn a living it’s hard to escape the 9 to 5 as an engineer because at your current company you are likely doing so much already !

[@bobbysani2126]

Bro are u coder can I talk to u

[@minecraftalix6286]

Do you have any advice on someone that is struggling to find a problem to solve?

Don't force it! But follow your passions and what actually lights you up. You'll find it if you trust the process from there
