In the past I think we would have tried to make the product perfect before putting it out on the market because of fear of getting bad reviews and our product being deemed “crap”. I see the value now on the customer focus first (is there a demand for the product) before spending precious resources, personnel, time, and money on a product no one wants.

The base of the theory is the concept which consists from five forces that determine the density of competition and market’s allurement.

To live in a static state of mind is to restrict the joy one may find in life. Oliver Sacks, Maggie Nelson, and Robert Thurman all suggest that one’s perception of the world, as well as the flexibility of their state of mind, directly correlates with how they exist within it.
