Key Takeaways:

  • Necessity is the mother of all invention.

  • People look for information when you’re trying to sell them something. They look for validation.
  • Sometimes your own instinct works better than anyone else’s advice.

Action Steps:

  • Reach out to writers and bloggers and get the right people to write about your product.
  • Talk about your product to people face to face.
  • Craft the message that you need to make people respond to your product.
  • When it comes to taking on equity partners, choose wisely the people you’re going to partner with.
  • Get slow and steady retailers to sell your product.

“There’s no silver bullet, there’s no magic, there’s no one out there that will solve your problems for you. There’s no consultant that’s going to help you create this. It comes from you.”

“Nobody will take care of your baby like you will. There’s not one solution out there that will solve everything. You’ve got to just be resourceful.”
