On What to Build?

Are you wondering what to build? What product do you want to build for your business?

Here’s the most consistent themes I learned over my 10 years of experience, thousands of books and blogs read, and hundreds of conversations with advisors and mentors distilled into a few simple bullet points.

• Build something that solves a problem you have
• Build something that solves someone else’s problem
• Just build something, anything
• But build something that you’re passionate about so you won’t mind as it consumes your life

The last point cancels #2 and #3, so you’re only left with #1. That’s really the trick to building a company that’ll fire you up through its ups and downs.
