A few months ago, I turned to Fiverr in hopes of finding a cost-effective way to bring Deleg8 to life. The goal was simple: leverage freelance talent to develop a AI-driven calendar management MVP without breaking the bank. It sounded perfect on paper, but the reality was far from it.
The outcome? A stark lesson in the true cost of cutting corners. Despite the best intentions, the project faced delays, quality issues, and a mismatch of skills and expectations. It wasn't just about lost time or resources; it was a realization that sometimes boostrapping something like this is not the way.
๐ย Lesson Learned: Quality and expertise are investments, not expenses. The initial allure of "self-funding" faded as the project encountered obstacles that could have been avoided with experienced professionals on board. This experience taught us the importance of investing in quality resources and professionals right from the start. Itโs a cornerstone principle that has guided the way forward for Deleg8, turning initial setbacks into stepping stones for success.
As entrepreneurs, we often tread a fine line between being resourceful and cutting corners. My takeaway? Invest in your vision with the quality it deserves. Itโs not just about getting off the ground; itโs about setting the foundation for lasting success.
