NOTA AICEX: Spesso e volentieri imprenditori e manager puntano maggiormente ad implementare progetti e prodotti che loro stessi prediligono piuttosto che ascoltare quello che davvero il cliente desidera avere e quindi comprare. L’esempio riportato nell’articolo è quello di Bill Gates e di Microsoft: ascolta, impara ed adattati.
One of the biggest problems I see with new entrepreneurs is that they don’t know what a successful business is supposed to look like, and there’s a real tendency to do what sounds good, as opposed to what works in the real world.
The latest feel-good advice making the rounds is that you should be highly selective about the business you are willing to do and the clients you want to engage with. After all, if you’ve got to focus – and we can all agree that you do – why not focus on the kind of work you want to do and the kind of people you want to work with?
Seems to make sense, doesn’t it? It does … if you don’t mind living hand-to-mouth for the rest of your life.
In 30-plus years in the high-tech industry and beyond, I’ve never once seen that strategy work, but I have seen it fail dozens, if not hundreds, of times. More importantly, some of the world’s most famous entrepreneurs and companies would never have achieved a fraction of their success if they’d followed that ludicrous advice. And neither would any of the successful founders and companies I’ve worked with.
