I enjoyed reading it to, I was just lamenting the fact that it seems like we hear this advice day in and day out. I'm right in the beginnings of the growth phase at my startup and I can tell you, we've made every mistake you can possibly make without drowning the baby in the bath water. You name it, at one point we did it. I'm talking: * Feature Creep * 90% revenue from one client * Not listening and building a whole GUI in the Dark * Attacking customers who weren't in the target market I could go on and on, but the point is; I've been there, we've all been there. It's so easy for me to say, as an armchair observer, how easy it might be to manage a business like that, but the truth is I have no idea. The problem is when you think you understand your target market, and you don't. I guess the point of my previous post wasn't to tear into the author, as they're very brave to put their opinion and their work out there. My point was that the lesson we can all learn is a hard one, and one we may need to learn multiple times. I think we're largely in agreement, but I thank you for your comments :).
