How's the business like these days?

How’s business like these days?
Honestly… it feels like a weird mix.
On one side, things are harder than before:

• costs are up
• customers think twice before buying
• competition is everywhere

But at the same time…
there’s more opportunity than ever.
People are building brands from their phones.
Small businesses are going global from day one.
And tools (especially AI) are making it possible to do what used to require a full team.

Are they just building or make sales and making profits?
Business will have to adapt other wise they will be out of business.

It is harder to get easy sales now but way easier to build and test ideas fast. The people making money now are the ones moving quick and using tools right while everyone else is stuck overthinking.

Yes, that's right

Agreed. Access to tools and information including ai is becoming easily accessible whilst compliance, regulations and customer awareness is getting worse each year. Back in the early days you could simply set up a stripe and start processing without much issues from day 1.

I'm new here but my experience is the same. And I avoided AI use at all costs, like an ideological fixation. So far my ventures have failed. Even though opportunities are more available, I was into "easy sales" rather than exploiting build and abandon cycle. I spent 8 months building, 1 months validating which was a recipe of failure.
