strategy through market research are indicators of success, but this doesn&#8217;t work for startups.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p>Most of startups doesn&#8217;t have long stable operating history, they do not yet know who their customers is or what their product should be, <strong>they&#8217;ve to learn<\/strong> a lot and get customers&#8217; feedback to update and improve their product. It takes time and cost.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p>On other hand, you can follow &#8220;<strong>Just Do It<\/strong>&#8221; school! Unfortunately, chaos doesn&#8217;t work too.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p>You&#8217;ve to plan well and get experiences from everybody! friends, family, and colleges. Read and learn a lot. Then plan as much you can, do not make it too complected, simple plan is enough and it will do the job.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\r\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Unhealthy partnership and Founders Clashes Clashes between founders are happening all the time, it depends<a class=\"moretag\" href=\"https:\/\/www.8worx.com\/blog\/why-startups-fail\/\"> Read More &#8230;<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":99,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":[],"categories":[1],"tags":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.8worx.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/45"}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.8worx.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.8worx.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.8worx.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.8worx.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=45"}],"version-history":[{"count":9,"href":"https:\/\/www.8worx.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/45\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":65,"href":"https:\/\/www.8worx.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/45\/revisions\/65"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.8worx.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/99"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.8worx.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=45"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.8worx.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=45"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.8worx.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=45"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
