For business (and fishing) the problem is almost always related to one or more of these things: 1. Wrong market (targeting the wrong fish) 2. Wrong spot (you're not where the fish are hanging) 3. Wrong bait (you're not offering them something they want)

I think this is the fundamental misunderstanding about startups: you’re not “creating” a market. The market is already there. (Or, there is no market). Our job as product people is to serve that market better than they’re being served right now.

It’s one thing or the other: there’s either enough people in motion, or there’s not. You don’t have enough time, money, and energy to change people’s minds. They’re either motivated to find a solution, or they’re not.

You can build an incredible product for a bad market (small, no money, not motivated) and you’re guaranteed to fail. But in a large market that’s hungry for solutions (and has money to spend), even mediocre products win.

What if you just want/need a few big fish instead of a lot of small fish? Same rules really, you need to know where they are and how to land them.

You can definitely do that! But it’s riskier, and not really a good fit for bootstrapping.

That means with the right bait and the right skill, you can catch fish too.
By the time ConvertKit showed up, MailChimp had already caught millions of fish. But that just meant it was a good fishing spot.
