THE LEAN LESSON

Don’t waste months building something no one wants.

Build an audience first, then create what they ask for.

Start with:

  • A newsletter in a niche

  • Weekly polls or surveys

  • Test ideas via paid workshops

  • Pre-sell before building MVP

This way, you launch with a waitlist, not crickets.

Validate problems with content before you invest in product development.
