e.g. Hearing someone talking about fear is entirelly different from living it on your own.
The same goes for many stages in a startup. If you don't experience it, any advice in the world will not matter.
I wouldn't be here if I thought I knew everything, but If you/I expect someone else to tell you how to understand if your product is ready then you lost already.
For example if you want me to be more precise.
In the certain advice everything is obselete and relative.
What is the competition? Have they already launched? How easy will be for them to just replicate you and crush you? When do you know you are better from the competition? What would make sure you will avoid crushing you?
All these questions relative to that advice are so crucial that makes the advice broad enough unless you are already experiencing that pressure and already have the realization of the market you are trying to enter etc.
Thats why advices are meaningless until you experience them.
You need to value the essence of the advice, not always upon who gives it.
You will get many good advices from many people if you don't undervalue them.
i'm still a bit confused by your point, but advice has been very helpful for us. generally, the person giving advice tries to formulate their advice in such a way that it applies to more than just one situation. advice seems to be most useful when it applies directly to a situation you're currently dealing with. but maybe i'm missing your point entirely.
that was exactly my point, the advice was valuable because it was applicable relative to what you are experiencing.
the advice is not as important by who is said, as much if the person giving it is identifying what to tell you relative to your current experience. Otherwise any other advice will not matter.
very true, but it does matter who gives the advice: some people give bad advice that sounds good on the surface, but isn't. you always need to follow your gut, and listen to all advice no matter who gives it, but we always listen especially carefully to people who have dealt with our situation and been successful.
