In their words
Much of the press on tech unicorns might have us believe that if we just sleep on it we'll wake up in the middle of the night with a groundbreaking aha moment. In my experience the path to clarity comes with process.
Unfortunately there is no alternative or substitute for actually talking to people. What you hear from customers will show you you're on the right track, or indicate you're heading in the wrong direction.
There's no one size that fits all approach. Trust the process and embrace the mud.
