A lot of time and money can be saved by using the Lean Startup method to build an MVP to validate whether the product or service you’re building solves a big enough problem that people will pay money for.
Building something hoping it will sell is a fool’s errands. Don’t worry if you’ve done this. If it makes you feel any better, it’s a very common mistake of first time entrepreneurs. I’ve done it and so have most founders I know.
It’s a painful learning experience I’d like you to avoid, if you haven’t gone through it. If you have, I bet you’re much more mindful of figuring our if someone will pay for your product or service before you build it.
