Top 3 Value Bombs
1. Prioritize energy. Everyday, put in a little bit of effort on the most important things towards getting your product launched, and you’ll get tremendous drive and momentum over the coming months.
2. The number one thing when you think about developing your product is FOCUS! In hardware, it is important because it is difficult at the end of the development cycle to make quick adjustments if you haven’t focused.
3. Crowdfunding is a phenomenal tool for hardware startups. You are putting your finished product prototype out for people to see, and the people who are interested in pre-purchasing your product will help give you money to fund the production run.
