Keeping The Ideal Customer In Mind

You see it on
Flip That House
all the time.

A flipper,
instead of thinking of
what her ideal buyer wants,
uses her personal tastes
with the house.
When the house gets put up for sale,
these personal tastes
decrease, rather than increase,
the price.

That is why I like to recruit
people as similar as possible
to my ideal customer
as sounding boards.
I’ll ask them ‘would you like this?’
If they say ‘yes,’
I go ahead.
If they say ‘no,’
I don’t.

It takes most of the guesswork out of decisions.

No Need To Be Perfect

I’ve never launched a perfect product.
Never.
I’ve launched very successful products
but none of them were perfect.
Some of them were far from perfect.

You don’t need a perfect product
to be successful.
What you absolutely need,
however,
is A product,
something prospects can buy.

So take your ‘good enough’ product
(good enough meaning
satisfying prospects’ needs
better than the competition)
and launch.

You can fine tune it
as awareness builds
and sales pour in.
