Why “Not Enough” Kills SaaS Growth

Growth in SaaS doesn’t fail because of bad ideas —
it fails when one “not-enough” link breaks the chain.

Here’s what I mean 👇

🧩 Building a product is not enough

↳ You need to distribute it to the right audience.

🚀 Distribution is not enough

↳ Your message must resonate and create clear intent.

💬 Resonance is not enough

↳ It must beat alternatives and win priority.

⚡ Priority is not enough

↳ There must be willingness-to-pay and available budget.

💰 WTP & budget is not enough

↳ A champion must build consensus and get approval.

✅ Approval is not enough

↳ Security and procurement must clear.

🛒 Purchase is not enough

↳ Time to first value must be fast.

🔁 First value is not enough

↳ Ongoing value must be obvious to renew and expand.

Most stalled products are trapped at one of these links.
But it always starts from Step 1 & 2.

💡 The better the product and the better the distribution,
the easier every next step gets.
