So, does an Idea + Engineering + Design => Successful Product
Maybe not
Lesson 1 Learn and understand people and their goals. Talk to them early and often
People don’t care about your great idea
People don’t care about your awesome design
People don’t care about your engineering prowess
Oh I use that app because it has animated buttons - said no one, ever.
People don’t care about an app
People care about what an app solves
People have jobs to be done
People don’t want to visit amazon
People want to buy a book
People don’t want to use facebook
People want to keep in touch with friends
People don’t care about your app or website. if there was an easier way to get their job done without an app. they’d prefer that.

Fail early. Fail often.
Access to great talent
Access to tons of capital
Failure is never final
"I have not failed 700 times. I have not failed once. I have succeeded in proving that those 700 ways will not work. When I have eliminated the ways that will not work, I will find the way that will work." - Thomas Edison
Don’t give up
Lesson 1: Talk to people
Lesson 2: Fail early. Fail often
