It’s really the time for me to buckle down and find out how on earth am I going to get my product validated.

If you don’t know me and this is the first time you reading my article I am Jayson Dombele a 16-year-old entrepreneur who has founded Documented Press January 2016 and along with that, I am an app developer and a content marketer. If you want to see more of my work check the bio below the article (But, do it when you are done reading my article! It’s greatly appreciated!)

I have been working on PitchUs for about 3 months now and I came from a long way. I have been through many up’s and down such as learning how to develop apps and finding the right resources and people to work with — it’s such a hassle.

Now I have been wanting to start developing my app with a friend of mine because I just want to bring out another product to the world.

What really kept me motivated was Documented Press success reaching 18.3k readers over the course of two years.

So, I just really wanted to build my app!

But, I came to realize that I could achieve much more if I pivot a couple things.

One thing I learned from Documented Press was that I didn’t really know much about the business side of it.

I, just liked writing about what’s going on in the world and loved technology so I put those two things together and boom luckily I got 18.3k?

But couldn’t I have gotten more even faster?

Of course, I could’ve! I just didn’t know what the f*ck I was doing.

I was a 14-year-old entrepreneur without knowing it really.

Product validation is what I was missing.

I didn’t bother asking any people to give any feedback about the site. I just kept publishing as much as I can and did my best to cross-promote the site.

I seemed to go the right way but in whatever you do you’d need to gather all the tools so you can squeeze out as many benefits you can.

Now, as a 16-year-old entrepreneur, I have now come back with an abundance amount of knowledge now and know how to play the game a little better.

Lately, I been trying to find people to validate my product and find out if it’s something people would want and if I should pivot my idea?

The problem is that I don’t even know where to start?

I recently watched a Hustle Gurus video featuring the founder of Heray Spice (Mohammad) and he talks about how he constantly hustled for his business as he did door to door sales every day.
