I got to know the last day that one of our early adopters is moving on. We got sad because he was there with us from day zero. Our second cheque came from his organization. He was there with us when no one believed in us. The market I am in, there is a constant influx of new members coming and old leaving for their team.
Change is the only constant: the sooner we accept it, the better we become. We have to delight all our users and work, give enough delight that we find more believers.
Running a startup is like a rollercoaster ride or playing a video game. We have to cross all the goalposts and, the challenges can be surprising and sudden. We need more believers because they act as a catalyst. Their advice, faith helps in sailing to the course.
