I have a win to share. We helped launch an MVP to solve the problem of professional isolation. We started with a very focused professional community.

We worked with three key stakeholders for months to prepare for the product launch.

Then, we did a soft launch called a "pre-launch discussion," where we invited more potential users. We got 10 people.

Then, after continual iteration, it was time for a beta launch. And now we have 55 registrations and counting!

Take a look. We went from 3 to 10 and then 55. Now that's growth! It was more than we expected, and I told the team I was surprised, excited, and a little nervous that the product would break. But then I reminded myself that this is how product-market fit is supposed to feel.  We're not at PMF yet, but the signs are there when users come running because they're so happy you're solving a problem. Now, it boils down to delivering on the experience.

The moral of this story is that you would rather have a small handful of users who love you than hundreds who only know about you.

Be encouraged, and keep it up! You'll get there.
