𝗬𝗼𝘂 𝗱𝗼𝗻'𝘁 𝗻𝗲𝗲𝗱 𝗮 𝗰𝗼𝗺𝗽𝗹𝗲𝘅 𝗴𝗼-𝘁𝗼-𝗺𝗮𝗿𝗸𝗲𝘁 𝘀𝘁𝗿𝗮𝘁𝗲𝗴𝘆 𝘁𝗼 𝘄𝗶𝗻. You need revenue. You need focus. You need speed to execution. Some of the best startups I've advised didn't succeed because of fancy marketing. They won by getting back to basics. If you want to nail your GTM without burning cash, here are 7 truths founders need to hear (and none require a big budget): ✅ 𝗦𝗲𝗹𝗹 𝗯𝗲𝗳𝗼𝗿𝗲 𝘆𝗼𝘂 𝘀𝗰𝗮𝗹𝗲 → Your imperfect solution today beats your perfect vision tomorrow. ✅ 𝗥𝗲𝘃𝗲𝗻𝘂𝗲 𝗯𝗲𝗮𝘁𝘀 𝗿𝗲𝗮𝗰𝗵 𝗲𝘃𝗲𝗿𝘆 𝘁𝗶𝗺𝗲 → Followers don't pay bills. Customers do. ✅ 𝗦𝗶𝗺𝗽𝗹𝗶𝗳𝘆 𝘆𝗼𝘂𝗿 𝗮𝗽𝗽𝗿𝗼𝗮𝗰𝗵 → You don't need complex funnels. You need conversations that close. ✅ 𝗪𝗮𝘁𝗰𝗵 𝘆𝗼𝘂𝗿 𝗖𝗔𝗖 𝗹𝗶𝗸𝗲 𝗮 𝗵𝗮𝘄𝗸 → It doesn't matter how great your product is if it costs too much to acquire customers. ✅ 𝗠𝗮𝘀𝘁𝗲𝗿 𝗼𝗻𝗲 𝗰𝗵𝗮𝗻𝗻𝗲𝗹 𝗳𝗶𝗿𝘀𝘁 → Dominate somewhere instead of being average everywhere. ✅ 𝗙𝗼𝗰𝘂𝘀 𝗼𝗻 𝗦𝗽𝗲𝗲𝗱 𝘁𝗼 𝗥𝗲𝘃𝗲𝗻𝘂𝗲 → Revenue Velocity matters. ✅ 𝗦𝗶𝗺𝗽𝗹𝗶𝗳𝘆 𝘆𝗼𝘂𝗿 𝗚𝗧𝗠 𝗽𝗹𝗮𝗻 → Simplify it until you cannot explain in one sentence. Most startups overcomplicate their path to market. They plan when they should execute. They build fancy decks when they should be having customer calls. They spread thin across channels when they should go deep on one. I've seen founders grow from zero to $20K+ MRR with just simple emails and follow-ups. No complex automation. No fancy content strategy. Just solving real problems for real customers. What's your biggest GTM challenge right now? Struggling to find product-market fit? Need help scaling your startup? DM me.

5 simple moves that saved our sinking marketing: 1️⃣ We paused our top channel   It looked good on reports. But 87% of Facebook ad clicks did nothing. We stopped spending $12,000 a month on empty numbers. ❌ “Keep the ads running, they're performing!”   ✅ “Let’s cut what isn’t bringing real results.”  ——— 2️⃣ We called our coldest leads   Old leads, months old. Most companies let them go. We called every one, asked real questions. 10% came back ready to talk. ❌ “Those leads are dead.”   ✅ “Let’s give them a real conversation.” ——— 3️⃣ We stopped chasing new traffic   We focused on the traffic we had. Improved site flow. Made forms easier. Conversions jumped 28% in two weeks. ❌ “Let’s spend to get more clicks.”   ✅ “Let’s serve the visitors we already have.”  ——— 4️⃣ We shrunk our content plan   Less blog posts, more value per post. Fewer but better guides. Search rankings improved, and readers actually engaged. ❌ “We need more content.”   ✅ “Let’s make each piece worth reading.” ——— 5️⃣ We asked one question every day   We ended every meeting with: “What did we learn this week?” Fast answers killed slow mistakes. ❌ “Stick to the usual strategy.”   ✅ “Let’s keep fixing what isn’t working.” ——— Want startup growth that sticks?   Follow me (Shamal Borole - Badhe) for simple, proven ideas that help you grow.   Send me a DM if you want real advice for your business.   I share detailed guides every week—don't miss out. #startups #marketing

You don’t have a pricing problem. Let’s be honest. → You know your product is valuable. → You know your customers get results. → You know your price should be higher. But still… you hold back. You hesitate. You worry about “scaring people off.” You wait for “the right time.” In that wait? → You leave money on the table. → You watch others raise prices first. → You start doubting your own offer. Here’s what I’ve learned after 30+ startups: Confidence beats calculation in pricing. You don’t need more data. You don’t need endless spreadsheets. You don’t need to guess what buyers will pay. You need to act. → Set the new price. → Ask for more.  → Explain the value—then listen. → Adjust with real feedback. The founders winning today aren’t smarter than you. They’re just raising prices while others keep tweaking. They’re willing to risk discomfort in public, because that’s how you grow. Real progress happens here: → Not in your pricing tool. → Not in another customer survey. → Not in another founder group chat. Stop making it complex. Just raise it. You’re not being ignored. You’re just holding back. Step forward. I help startups grow faster. Message me if you want help. Hit Follow for no-nonsense growth guides, real stories, and simple advice. #startups

FOUNDERS ARE BUILDING THE WRONG WAY Most founders build as if adding more features will save them. Tinkering in Figma. Chasing trends. Releasing just to see what happens. Less is more. Start simple. Solve a real need. Ship features that work. Track every result. Listen to users, not your ego. Too many waste months on dashboards no one uses. Or spin in circles with growth “ideas” from Twitter threads. The problem isn’t your roadmap. It’s doing too much. It’s saying yes to everything. It’s believing busy means progress. This isn’t building. It’s just noise. If you want results: Cut the fluff. Pick one thing that matters. Make it better than anyone else. Stop making things more complicated. Start getting real results. Need help getting focused? Send me a DM. Want more of these simple playbooks? Follow me here. I share detailed, step-by-step ways to get more growth. #startups

Every founder wants advice. But I always ask 5 questions first. This is my Founder Filter System. 1. 𝗪𝗵𝗮𝘁 𝘄𝗮𝘀 𝘆𝗼𝘂𝗿 𝗹𝗮𝘀𝘁 𝗯𝗶𝗴 𝗮𝘀𝘀𝘂𝗺𝗽𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻 𝘁𝗵𝗮𝘁 𝗽𝗿𝗼𝘃𝗲𝗱 𝘄𝗿𝗼𝗻𝗴? This shows how honest you are with yourself. One fintech founder admitted their whole B2B plan failed. Another dodged the question. Guess who I chose. 2. 𝗖𝗮𝗻 𝘆𝗼𝘂 𝗱𝗲𝘀𝗰𝗿𝗶𝗯𝗲 𝘆𝗼𝘂𝗿 𝘁𝗼𝘂𝗴𝗵𝗲𝘀𝘁 𝗰𝘂𝘀𝘁𝗼𝗺𝗲𝗿? If you can't name them, you're guessing your entire market. 3. 𝗛𝗼𝘄 𝗱𝗶𝗱 𝘆𝗼𝘂 𝗹𝗮𝗻𝗱 𝘆𝗼𝘂𝗿 𝗳𝗶𝗿𝘀𝘁 10 𝘂𝘀𝗲𝗿𝘀? Founders who hustle get results. Founders who wait never get off the ground. 4. 𝗪𝗵𝗮𝘁 𝗺𝗲𝘁𝗿𝗶𝗰 𝗱𝗼 𝘆𝗼𝘂 𝗰𝗵𝗲𝗰𝗸 𝗲𝘃𝗲𝗿𝘆 𝗺𝗼𝗿𝗻𝗶𝗻𝗴? If you don't track numbers, you can't grow. 5. 𝗪𝗵𝘆 𝗱𝗼 𝘆𝗼𝘂 𝘄𝗮𝗻𝘁 𝗺𝘆 𝗵𝗲𝗹𝗽? True founders seek growth, not a quick fix. I work with founders who face facts.

I built a B2B revenue engine to $1M ARR in just 2 years. No VC checks. No loans. Just real customers. Here's the core idea— Growth is simple, not easy. It demands: - Deep customer focus - Careful listening - Lean execution - Consistent follow-up Again and again. Why simple? Because one habit can push you forward. Listen to buyers. Test your offer. Fix what doesn’t work. These are all skills you can pick up. So, after two years of trying, here’s my simple playbook: → Talk to people often → Find out what matters most → Track your results → Use what you learn in each step Many call this a plan. Keep testing it. Will you miss sometimes? For sure. Will you get sharper? Always. Simple? Yes. Easy? No way. Try → Learn → Adjust → Win Want your startup to reach this level?   Message me.  Follow for real-world strategies that work.  I break down each move in clear, detailed posts.  Let's get better together. 💪 #startups

I didn’t spend 3 years with founders for inspiration. I did it to find the hidden traps that kill startups. It’s not the big mistakes.   It’s the small things founders ignore. Like thinking you know your customer—when really, you don’t. I saw it over and over. Founders talking about features. But not about what their customer needs. They couldn’t even say what keeps their customer up at night. The winners? They listened. They spoke to customers. Not to pitch, but to truly hear them. It’s rarely luck. It’s simple: Listen to your user.  Not your product. Not your gut. Most skip this part.  And their startups end quietly. Stop guessing what your customers want. Start listening before you start building. Want help scaling fast, minus the usual mistakes? DM me if you’re ready for serious growth. Follow me for real-world startup plays, every week. #startups
