Fall in Love with the Problem, Not the Solution: A Handbook for Entrepreneurs

Product Information

It takes effort to slow the process down a bit, and it goes against our human nature of fixing things quickly and moving on. Find one of those and try to come up with solutions for it (these problems can also be your organizational problems by the way). Meeting Ehud and Amir was my second magical moment; it was when I knew I had found what I needed to complete my vision of an everyday “avoid traffic jams” app. If, on the other hand, you find the job isn’t getting done “well enough,” that’s great news for you. Whilst this might seem intuitive and reflects how most managers both in the nonprofit and for profit world are trained, in our experience such an approach can be limiting, particularly when it comes to wicked, intractable problems.

Founders - this is an excellent investment / reinforcement / learning and shot in the arm all in one. But consider the most brilliant solutions to everyday challenges and you will find some people that knew the problem well enough to craft the right solution.Each of these was a simple enough feature request, but rather than just implementing them, we got the requestors on the phone. They had partially, obliquely “solved” (ex post) the women empowerment problem - or at least pointed to a potential solution - without ever defining it (ex ante) or in fact using the phrase. A well rounded overview of the different parts of building a startup - from ideation, pivoting and getting to your first MVP, to expansion, growth, raising capital and everything in between.

I am enjoying reading this book that captures in the most fascinating way Uri Levine's journey in the invention of Waze, and at the same time gives you tips and insights which are necessary for your personal success as en entrepreneur. Throughout the book, I tell the truth about building a startup -- warts and all -- providing a blueprint for entrepreneurs so they can launch any business right.

If the processing is for other purposes, you have the right to object only if there are reasons arising from your particular situation.Ehud had a problem that was similar to mine: He needed maps for his app to work, but it was too expensive to license them from a third party. To calculate the overall star rating and percentage breakdown by star, we don’t use a simple average. Levine has built more than a dozen startups and has seen everything ranging from failure, midlevel success, to immense success.

In 2018, Zoomcar introduced India's first peer-to-peer-based marketplace for cars with the launch of its shared subscription mobility model and currently commands over 90% market share in this space. If you’re a product manager, you’re thinking about all those oh-so-glorious features you can add to your product. We pay a lot of lip service to perseverance and grit, but perseverance and grit will get you only so far if you are trying to brute-force your solution. We spend so much time trying to “miss” failure that we fail to realize that: Failing is a necessary pre-condition for a breakthrough. These approaches are hybrid in that they do often require a problem formulation, but one that is purposely left very broad .

You think about it from the problem that you’re going to solve and the people that actually have this problem, and this is how the solution is going to look and this is what will do tomorrow morning and this is my end game and so forth, until you feel confident to tell your friends, this is what I’m going to build. Allow yourself and your organization a little more space to think of the next solution, and the next, and the next… Then keep those solutions alive for some time, so you can reflect on them, learn from them and develop the best ones into really valuable products and services. Rather than falling into the trap of collectively loving our shiny new features after one too many overbuilt features, we have learned to always fall back to first principles. At the time of the acquisition, there were various leaked news stories claiming Facebook was looking to acquire Waze, before Google beat it to the punch. Its product, Dynamo10x, offers a unique user learning experience that boosts gaining and maintaining knowledge without changing content or education methods.
