Building a software product is hard. Building one that customers stick with for years is even harder. Plenty of businesses have impressive features and talented developers, yet still struggle to grow because success in software comes down to more than what's inside the product.
In this lesson, Omar shares what he's learned from more than a decade running a software company and breaks down the principles that have the biggest impact on long-term success. From the way you serve customers to the decisions you make behind the scenes, he explores what separates software businesses that last from those that slowly lose momentum.
