Sometimes your product is fine; you just need to sell it to a different audience.

Sometimes it's the right MARKET (not product) that makes all the difference.

Right product for weak market = weak sales.

The challenge is sometimes you really want to build X.
But the customer just wants Y.

You want to make something cool.
They want results.

Not sure if it's intentional, but @MattGiovanisci writes the best subject lines:

"Pushing back" + "I hoped it wouldn't come to this..." 👀😅

Remember, products can also steal customers from other verticals:

Uber took users from taxis.
iPhone took users from Kodak.

3. The thing is, products don't need to be interesting, unique, or technically advanced to make sales.

They just need to solve a real pain.

"Vendor lock-in" is an interesting concept.

Many people would love to leave Facebook, but can't because they don't want to miss events.

When I was a kid:

If I wanted to watch concert video, I had to order the VHS. 📼
To hear my radio show I needed to stay up until midnight. 📻

My dream: we quit treating politics like fantasy football.

Instead, think of it as a mountain expedition.

Work together; reach the peak.

Team sports is a terrible metaphor for democracy.

We don't form government to score points; we form government to get somewhere.

On the other hand: you can't let the fear of "what will people think?" stop you.

Ship in small increments, and get incremental feedback.

The scariest part of the creative process is showing people what you've made; but it's also the best part.

Real life feedback FTW.

Reoccurring value doesn’t necessarily mean recurring payments.

I get reoccurring value from Photoshop CS5; only bought it once.

Sometimes, when things don't happen as quickly as I want them to, I get frustrated.

But like fine wine, "faster" isn't always better.
