When I only worked on the product, I felt stressed

Because if I don't do revenue-generating actions daily,

The product won't sell itself

So I started doing marketing and sales first thing of the day

Now when I work on the product I'm more focused and relaxed

Never stop researching

If you don't want to do marketing, partner up with a marketer

If you don't want to partner up with a marketer, solve your own problems
