We've interviewed thousands of successful founders at Starter Story and asked what advice they would give to entrepreneurs who are just getting started.

Here's the best advice we discovered for starting a products:

#1: Dhruvin Patel, founder of OCUSHIELD :

We chatted with with Dhruvin, founder of OCUSHIELD ($300K/month). In our interview, Dhruvin says:

Be messy, until the mess creates problems. Don’t worry too much about being perfect with business practices, in the beginning, be focused on sales and marketing.

Additionally:

It’s important to not get disheartened with slow traction and the route I took of starting the business while I was occupied with university or working is the best way to give a business the most chance of succeeding. If I had gone all in, I wouldn’t have my degree and clinical practice to support the business, I wouldn’t have an income from the work I was doing, and then would have been even more demanding of the business to do well.

Further:

Do start a business that has some future trends, don’t start a business in a trend - you are 9/10 too late.
