Many enthusiastic entrepreneurs and product managers become infatuated with their own ideas and dive headfirst into execution without proper market research or validation.

While it’s crucial to be passionate about your product, it’s equally important to approach it with a realistic mindset and avoid getting “married” to your idea.

❓ Why?
A lack of market research and validation can lead to costly mistakes and wasted efforts. By blindly pursuing your own vision without understanding if there is a genuine need in the market, you risk building a product that nobody wants or is willing to pay for.

❓ How do you overcome the infatuation with your idea?
Prioritize the process of validating your ideas before fully committing to them. Take the time to conduct thorough market research, engage with potential customers, and listen attentively to their needs and pain points. That will enable you to gather invaluable insights shaping your product development strategy.

✅ A successful product is not solely based on how brilliant or innovative your idea is. It’s about solving a real problem people are willing to pay for. By taking a customer-centric approach and validating your ideas early on, you can significantly increase your chances of success.
