Feature wars are unwinnable. Bigger competitors will always have more features. I compete on: - Speed (faster to value) - Simplicity (easier to use) - Focus (better at one thing) - Service (more responsive support) - Price (or premium positioning) Pick dimensions where more resources don't guarantee victory. How do you compete?

if only i could go right back to the start. lots of people talk about the wins in their journey, but i feel as a community, we need to share losses too. to be frank, there are more losses than wins, we can all relate to them. just publishing wins, can be a dangerous game, we need to get around each other. it's a tough journey and much harder when people only share their successes and rub it in. tbh, that's why I'm making this post. I wish someone warned me of these things before i started my ai agency. It would've saved me time, money and a whole tonne of energy. But truth be told, even if someone did tell me: i'm not sure i would've listened. the hype of getting started and my stubbornness might've stopped me but i've found regardless, the best way to learn is to experience the lessons yourself. especially young and hungry dudes. embrace both the ups and downs - understand it's all part of the process. If you embrace your challenges and help people avoid them, this community will be a better place. That's why I'm telling you two things: -actually learn from my mistakes -actually try to apply these lessons to make your life easier i touched on the above in my recent YT video. always here to help gang. both with general biz advice and personal advice. best, Jack :)
