As we continue to move towards our goal of launching Royalants.com we try to keep ourselves well versed on all the articles and blog posts written over the years about how to increase your chances of success during the startup process. Everyone seems to have their own strategy and opinion on the subject. The only constant is the seemingly obvious advice that a good startup needs good people, a good idea, and the ability to work for nothing for an extended period of time. The reality of the whole thing is that each startup will face their own challenges and have their own set of failures and successes.
I decided somewhere along the way that because we were going to be taking this journey that I wanted to document it. That way if (when) we were (are) successful we will be able to provide information to someone in our shoes as to how we were able to achieve our success. Adversely, if we were to ultimately build a product that does not meet our goals and expectations we will also have an outline of what may have gone wrong which we hope would be equally as valuable to a future startup.
I am not interested in writing a how to guide, or a top 10 list of the things to do or not do. Instead I want to document our journey both in writing and on video so you can follow along with us. I hope to create something that is as entertaining as it is informative. As posts appear, please leave comments and feedback. I would love to hear how our experience is similar to, or contrasts your own, as well as get advice from you. We are not experts and at no point along the way will we claim to be. To reach the top of the mountain we need honest feedback, and who better to give that than someone who is going, or has gone through the same climb. We look forward to bringing you along for the ride.
