Frankly, if you build the right thing, they will come.

And it's very easy to deceive ourselves into believing that we're building the right thing.

Unfortunately, the world doesn’t work that way. Especially for a commodity business like consulting/agencies.

Even if you have product market fit, and are experiencing the “pull” of a hot market...if you have no reliable distribution channels, you have no business.

Humans are busy, and the problems that businesses solve for in the modern world are not life or death issues. Any product that solves a problem that tons of people are already searching google for, is by definition, going to also have tons of competitors.

Think bigger. Maybe things that businesses build are not the right things?

Yes, this sounds nice, but even if you build the actual right thing, most of the time they wont come.
