Building Success One Customer at a Time With Sharon Lee Thony #shorts #entrepreneur

One of the biggest pieces of advice that I usually give startups is if you can get someone else to buy into your product or your service, someone other than your mom and your best friend and your spouse, right? But, like, if you can acquire a new customer, if you can convince someone that doesn't already know you that you have something valuable, then you've made it. And it might just be that first sale, right? It might just be that first prototype. It might just be the first investor, the first donor, the first whoever who signs up to be a part of your mission and your vision. But that alone is proof that what you're doing is valuable to someone else. And then from there, you just build upon it, because that one person can turn into five people, and those five people can turn into 10 and 50 and 100, and so on and so forth.
