Don't be afraid to launch your company because it's not as significant to your users as it is to you, so move up the launch as soon as possible to get your product in front of customers.

Startups should prioritize pushing their product and talking to users over impressing investors and attending conferences to avoid common mistakes that can hinder their success.
