This reminded me of a quote which is totally the opposite, and imo more accurate: "Most entrepreneurs fall in love with the wrong thing. They fall in love with their products and their business when they should be falling in love with their clients and customers" -Jay Abraham
Both sentiments are however; worthy food for thought.
- mritchie712 7y agoBest case scenario: you are the customer. In this case, both sentiments can be true.
- travisjungroth 7y agoTurns out that the real productivity hack was learning to love yourself.
- sudhirj 7y agoThere’s a superb YC video that rephrased this correctly for me - be in love with the problem, not your current draft of a solution. Certainly not your first draft. https://youtu.be/vDXkpJw16os https://youtu.be/vDXkpJw16os But you do need love. I had a similar experience with https://whatsgoingon.in https://whatsgoingon.in - I fell in love with my own live blogging product, but I don’t have the problem of actually needing a live blog for anything in my life. That craters motivation pretty quickly.
