Have to believe in what you’re doing and measure everything do. This is R&D. Fail fast, fail often, build credible data, it speaks for itself

Don’t look for experts, look for the people who hussle & execute

  1. Thanks for the article/info. Just read the strategic marketing plan. I must say its rather insightful. I like the “fail fast” motto, it seems to be very fitting considering you have to dive into it and learn from your mistakes.

    This really resonated with me, too. Things are simply happening too fast to rally all kinds of data that likely you’re using to convince others (or yourself) that you’re right. Time better spent is asking people what they want; thankfully technology makes such efforts fairly simple.
