Pivot! : Fail Faster By Shipping Early and Often (and how to stop caring along the way!)

by David Duccini | at Minnebar 15

Nobody F'ing Cares

From trying to get feedback on your business plan to A/B testing one of your next awesome-sauce features the reality is that the only person who really cares is YOU -- and you gotta get over yourself :-)

Being too early to market is not your today problem. Being too late might be.

Why did the VHS tape format beat out the clearly superior BetaMax? And why do people like me keep invoking that example when hardly anyone relevant anymore even remembers the "Be Kind Rewind" plea at long gone business models like "Blockbuster Video" ??

"Don't let the perfect get in the way of the pretty good"

The reality is that very few users will actually use 90% of the software you create for them. Hours will be wasted on features nobody cares about because entrepreneurs are often blinded by their own brilliance!

Say it with me: "Feedback is a gift!" ; but not all feedback is actionable...

In this likely expletive laden session we'll commiserate on how lonely it is to be right most of the time ;-)

By the end you'll learn to embrace the eventual heat-death of the universe and be at peace with the fact that nobody f'ing cares.
