Are you a founder building a product?
Building a product with the goal of making it a business entails answering the following 4 questions:
How to identify problems worth solving and the people that have them?
How to distribute the solution?
How to monetize the solution?
How to build a solution to the problem, i.e. the product?
Sounds easy. But even the most seasoned founders have stumbled along their journey.
I made this very mistake when I launched my first startup: I began with a solution. Arguably the last thing you should do.
As Seith Godin puts it:
It doesn’t make any sense to make a key and then run around looking for a lock to open.
Yet, that's exactly what I did.
How do I build better products?
Answering this question is at the heart of this newsletter.
