#28: The importance of market research

Summary

How do you market your business in a way that is sustainable and isn’t just about getting followers, but about allowing you to build a strong foundation for your business? I answer that question in this episode.

  • If you are not aware of the external context that you are launching in and building your business is, you’re likely to crash
  • Two important questions that your research should seek to answer; what is the problem and where is the profit?
  • Ask good questions; the quality of our learning is dependent on the quality of questions you ask
