Scenario: I am involved in the launch of a new product. My feelings? Thrill and excitement. Many questions are rolling in my head. They can all sum up to how will it go?. I really don’t know. I am more than convinced that a product has to lead people to think “it just works”. I am more than convinced that an entrepreneur is a trust builder. You don’t just build a product, you build trustful relationships by means of a product. If people don’t trust you or your company they don’t use your products. If you don’t listen they don’t use your products.
This attitude, coupled with excitement, is getting along with me these days. I don’t feel I am ready. I think I will never feel ready. There will always be something that I feel it’s unfinished. But you have to cut to the chase, otherwise you’ll never release. Moreover, you risk to work on stuff that is not needed by your audience.
My only commitment: I will listen. I am ready to receive mails and tweets that help to co-build the product.
All this stuff is rumbling in my head as we are approaching the beta release of pomo.me, the easiest web application to manage your time with the pomodoro technique.
