My first mentor said chase clients, not product polish. He was half right.
Back in 2018, my first business advisor in Austin told me to stop tweaking our dashboard and go sell to 10 strangers a week. I ignored him for 3 months, kept polishing, and landed exactly 2 paying customers. Then I tried his way for a month, got 7 clients, but our churn was brutal because the tool was still buggy. So now I split the difference: 2 days on outreach, 1 day on fixes. Has anyone else found that balance shifts depending on your stage?

Sell till it hurts, then fix what breaks, repeat.
