The quickest way to launching a successful product is to take the time to do some market research. Don’t go into a new adventure blindly with a “if I build it they will come” mentality. Get an idea of that ‘expensive problem’ that you can fix for future potential customers and clients. From there, you can pivot, revise, or evolve your product the resonate a LOT better. Actually working on a product and validating your idea by talking to experts, getting feedback, and learning what might work can teach you a lot about success.
