#1: Juan Jose Delgado, founder of Palco4:

We chatted with with Juan, founder of Palco4 ($100K/month). In our interview, Juan says:

It's easy to go with the flow and pursue quick success, big numbers, immediate visibility - but the important thing is just to do your best every day, have a solid structure and the other things will come sooner or later.

Additionally:

Don't try to earn every penny. The only way to establish long-term relationships with both suppliers and customers is for everyone to be comfortable in the business.

#2: Jonny White, founder of Ticket Tailor:

We chatted with with Jonny, founder of Ticket Tailor ($500K/month). In our interview, Jonny says:

Prioritise customer experience over capturing revenue. Don’t get me wrong, revenue is important as you can’t sustain a business without it, but it should be the consequence of both delivering value and a good business model.

Additionally:

Inevitably the first version of your product is going to lack the features of more established competitors. Don’t let that hold you back from launching as many people don’t need all the bells and whistles.

We chatted with with Renee, founder of Booking Boss ($/month). In our interview, Renee says:

Do not just keep up with the times; stay ahead of them. And if ever you feel disheartened with challenges, bring your focus back to the very heart of what you do and why you are doing it. And if there’s an area of business you don’t understand, study, and study hard to get up to speed so you can help guide your team.
