Revenue solves a lot of problems. I see people spend months building decks, logos, and complex plans. Then three months later they still have zero dollars coming in. At some point they need a job. If you focus on closing revenue first, even small deals, you keep the business alive, learn from real customers, and earn the right to think bigger.
