Steps to Get There
Learn by Doing
Start side projects, freelance, or join a startup. Formal education helps, but execution experience is what matters most.
Develop a Problem Thesis
Identify a real problem you care about. Talk to 100+ potential customers before writing a line of code.
Build and Launch
Create an MVP, get it in front of users, and iterate. Focus on solving the problem, not perfecting the product.
Scale or Pivot
Use traction data to decide whether to double down, pivot, or try something new. Resilience is the real skill.
