If a product doesn't help users save time or make money, they may see it as just a cool product rather than a valuable business tool.

If a product doesn't save time or help users make money, they may view it as just a cool product rather than a necessary tool.

Many people mistakenly view their product as a piece of art, but if users don't find it useful, then it's not worth building.

It's important to avoid creating a product that requires excessive consulting time from the founder, as this indicates the product isn't truly scalable. If you're solving a small, rare problem, even a billion people in the addressable market may not be inclined to pay real money for it.

It's important to charge for your product because if there's enough pain and promise of a solution, people will pay for it.

If someone is willing to pay for the most basic version of your product, it indicates that you're addressing a real problem.

If users refuse to pay, it indicates that you haven't built enough value into your product or you're targeting the wrong customer segment.

Even if you have an amazing product, you must deeply understand the market and ensure that customers are willing to pay for it.

It's not just about having a viable product; it must also be a valuable product that addresses real customer needs.
