Running Lean - An exacting strategy for achieving a product/market fit

@paulmboyce Thank you!

@eriktorenberg I don't know if it was truly unique but certainly different. I wrote a book without writing first - but teaching everything in the book through workshops. My blog was an accidental MVP for the book and the workshops are where I refined the flow of the book through slides not pages. Chapter 2 in the book is a case-study of how I applied every principle in the book to write the book - yes it's meta-recursive. But I would argue that difference made the process more fun and created a better product than taking a sabbatical in the mountains.

@russfrushtick There's always stuff one can put into any product... but looking back I wouldn't have put anything else in. It was my best snapshot of the thinking at the time - which has become an excuse to write more future books now :)

@russfrushtick I should have turned around the question and asked you what you found missing before answering?

@melissajoykong It's a great question and really a question of strategy. Amazon is playing the long game and only time will tell if they are biggest dotcom success or bust. My vote is with the first. Even though they tread with loses, as a percentage these numbers are relatively small compared to the upside. They could probably be plugged if they were pushed to do so by shuffling things around a little. I'd worry a lot more about a company that solely pursues user growth at the expense of monetization for long periods of time.
