#7My wife and I are bootstrapping a business, and we're nearly at 100 customers (92 right now). I would not say it's an easy road. We've been working on it full time for 1.5 years so far.
A couple things I've realized while doing this:
1. Business is a competition. Much like in sports, skills are only built up through practice. For an entrepreneur this means actually selling something. You will start at level 0. There is no substitution for actually doing the work.
2. The bigger you grow, the easier it gets. A year ago we were running around like headless chickens not knowing what to focus on. Now that we've got a core group of customers, and it's much easier to decide where to go. We can start to plan a month or two months out now. Opportunities such as partnerships also present themselves as your business grows larger.

#8I have an interesting question.
Say there is an already established business that has more than proven the idea is viable.
What does it take to... join the same market space? Can you offer the same features at the same price? Can you offer the same features at a lower price? Can you offer less features at a lower price?
Are there cases where there is only room for one player and no matter what you do, you will not be able to steal any sizable amount of market share from them?

"What does it take to... join the same market space?"
What does it take to join the same market space? Here's some strategies:
1. Find a niche that is being ignored and really needs your specific product. This is getting harder to do.
2. Raise money. One way to build a good product is to throw good developers at it.
3. Give yourself a longer runway. Think years instead of months.
4. Buy an existing business, and run it yourself.
