KEY TAKEAWAYS:

• Don’t be afraid of failure, it is part of the process. You don’t want to get to the end of your life having regrets, so go all in and learn from any mistakes so you can keep growing. 
• Building trust with your customers is what keeps them coming back and referring others to you. If you don’t have their trust, you have nothing. 
• Think of selling your product as looking for partners who are going to help you with your product. They’ll give you valuable feedback and help you improve your product. This can make “selling” feel less stressful and overwhelming.
