Know Your Ideal Client

THE LEAN LESSON
If you try selling to everyone, you’ll sell to no one.
One of the biggest early mistakes founders make?
Building a great product—without defining who it's actually for.
I did the same.
My marketing felt like shouting into a void.
Once I clearly identified my Ideal Customer Profile (ICP), everything changed:
My messaging became sharp.
My product features aligned with real needs.
My demos hit home.
Your ICP guides everything: content, outreach, product roadmap, and pricing.
Don’t guess.
Talk to users.
Find patterns.
Get specific.
Start with your best customer. Reverse-engineer their profile. Then scale your messaging around that.
