According to the Product Led Growth the main value of a startup is a validated learning, a concept which defines a company intelligence, gained after shipping products, that can be used to further adjust the company strategy for further advantage.

I tend to expand this idea further to the individual scale, where I see a specific person as a company itself. In some way it also uses resources to achieve their objectives, operating in hopefully fair market. And during this process the person earns valuable insights, whether from a wins and setbacks.

It's surprisingly interesting to look at personal experiences through these lenses:

• What unique problems am I facing?
• How can I leverage this experience to my advantage?
• What research can I conduct to gain more expertise and knowledge in a subject I'm interested in?
• What is the Minimum Viable Product of a change I want to implement in my life?
