Nearly all successful business stories boil down to two aspects1. Build what people want. So much so they are willing to pay. Talking to potential customers matters here. 2. Minimize the cost for solution building, both time and money.I get it.My problem is in the details. I would ask questions on sub-reddit, hacker news, x, etc if someone has specific problems, with some solution in mine. I get very little traction.I would launch MVPs, reach out to the people who I think may find it interesting, both online and offline. Very little traction, and both growth and retention converge to zero.Is there the right playbook? How do you execute? Things are quite daunting and disappointing. Never felt so useless.
