Date Your Business Ideas
🤣Friday Humour4good for my Startups & Emerging Managers
Tough Love From The Coach 💜
When clients launch start-ups/funds to do what they are interested in or passionate about and not what their market (what they believe their market and natural customers or investors are) needs or wants and without prior testing in real life first (pre-marketing) … only to find out that it ain’t gonna work out … 😢😔 💔
📍Conclusion: test early your ideas (💝Date your ideas💡) and prototype, get ready to pivot, shift, test, pivot, shift … rinse and repeat at the lowest cost possible until you find what works! Product / market fit / adoption /Investment (funding) - readiness happens only when enough of the right customers buy (investors commit, philanthropists donate... ) and that does not automatically mean your team is capable of running a successful business (organization...) nor will prevent any internal or external adverse impact to threaten your very survival … Welcome to the entrepreneurial journey ⛵️🎢 With Gratitude,
