    eight months is usually when the first version of "what you built" stops working and you have to build the thing customers actually want. the gap between those two is what most people call "0 revenue growth."

    we went through something similar building a fintech tool — spent months on features nobody asked for because we assumed we understood the problem. what actually changed it: stopped building for what we assumed and started building for one specific thing one customer said they'd pay for that day. just one. then the next.

    what was the specific use case you landed on?

        yup. self growth will be staying with you forever.

        Everything else just auxiliary things
