Don’t be reactive, be proactive
While creating a startup, it’s easy to react to other companies and let the competitors dictate your strategies.
This however will not be innovative as you’re merely following and not Thinking out of the box.
You should be proactive, trying new solutions and trying to create progression in both horizontal and vertical ways.
Question
- [?] Is that last part with creating progression a good link?
