If people are passionate about your product, whether it's because they're hating or loving it, those are both good scenarios.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
You just have to surround yourself with people who are going to support and love you before trying to sell you as a product, or push you into something you don't want to do.
You want people using your product because it's a part of your life, then they can't stop using it.
Once you start thinking more about where you want to be than about making the best product, you're screwed.
People will make leaps of faith and get excited by your product if you just get it in front of them.
A lot of our happiness is derived from experiences, not from buying products. People are twice as happy buying experiences as products. People are happy buying experiences. They don't want something that's commoditised.
People think about their business instead of their products.
Marketing is what you do when your product is no good.
I learned that most people buy based on emotion, not on a rational breakdown of the product or service.

You can say the right thing about a product and nobody will listen. You've got to say it in such a way that people will feel it in their gut. Because if they don't feel it, nothing will happen.
