The Art Of The Start

“There really is only one question you should ask yourself before starting any new venture … Do I want to make meaning?. Meaning is not about money, power, or prestige. It’s not even about creating a fun place to work. Among the meanings of ‘meaning’ are to, Make the world a better place, Increase the quality of life, right a terrible wrong, Prevent the end of something good.

Goals such as these are a tremendous advantage as you travel down the difficult path ahead.

Having that desire doesn’t guarantee that you’ll succeed, but it does mean that if you fail, at least you failed doing something worthwhile.”

Lean Entrepreneur

“You simply cannot solve a problem if you do not deeply understand the problem you’re solving, and you cannot design a solution if you do not deeply understand those that will use it. Further, you cannot have this understanding for huge, undifferentiated groups of people, but by understanding the needs and desires of your sub segments, you might be able to design an experience they will pay for.”
