Build a great product for people who will grab it out of your hand

WOW! It's great to read statements like this!

From the Forbes report by J.J. Colao as he interviews Steve Blank who is an eight-time entrepreneur and The Four Steps to the Epiphany author for this Forbes story called: 
Silicon Valley Is The New Hollywood: Ignore The Hype And Keep Working










Excerpt from the story:
Even talented, hardworking CEOs and founders can get caught up in the hype. Why? Blank lists seven reasons:


  1. Ego
  2. Ego
  3. Ego
  4. Vanity metrics
  5. Attract talent
  6. Get funding
  7. Drive customer demand
If CEOs get caught up in doing press for reasons other than the last three, he says, their companies are doomed. The only mantra that startups need: “Build a great product for people who will grab it out of your hand.”
