I learned that losing focus from the most important things is very, very easy. There's a reason a lot of people insist on making a plan and sticking to it. It's too easy to get side-tracked by "a cool idea" that you can add and wake up later that you wasted 6 months for a random idea.

2nd lesson I learned is that the team you work with is more important than the product. You can't do it alone and finding the right people with the right skills (mostly those that you lack) is not a trivial task.
Make sure you start with at least one or two more co-founders and ... delegate, delegate, delegate!
