+Get into the rhythm
The next 90 Days. How many lessons can you learn in this period? Are you counting? Are you capturing and sharing?
Daily Rhythm – Know your assumptions Have them out in the open. Keep them ordered. Know what your focus is each morning and make daily progress.
A feature is still an assumption until it’s validated. Don’t assume adding a feature is always beneficial.
+Know your customer…
Right Now - How does your customer currently solve the problem you are addressing? Can you map this?
How do they reach a purchase decision?
What will your solution look like. What points are you influencing? Are you transforming their behaviour?
Have you mapped out the customer scenarios?
Where does your customer get their money from to buy your product. Who's lunch are you eating?
+Business Models Have you drawn up your business model. What relationships
need to exist?
