If they have their own products, they plan every step of a launch before the product development even begins. The more meticulous you are with your plans, the fewer things there are that might go wrong.

If you aren’t sure how to develop a blueprint for your success, don’t know how to set and achieve goals, or have a mindset that’s not in sync with that of success, then work on those things before you set off on this journey.
If you are mentally prepared for the ups and downs along the way, your journey will be faster and smoother than just winging it and hoping for the best.
