Product success has a dark side. It can fulfill your dreams, passion and purpose in life or it can absolutely drain you dry. Sometimes the expression “be careful what you wish for” is right on the money, because we all have blind spots and learned limitations that prevent us from seeing the “big picture” when we get involved in something as complex as developing a successful new product.
This blog is about two sides of product success, the PRODUCT side and the PERSONAL side. The PRODUCT side represents the success of your product in the marketplace. The PERSONAL side includes the implications of developing a successful product for your time, freedom, relationships, family, stress, happiness, psychological well being and fulfillment in life.
Most of the posts to follow will be arranged to discuss any one or all of the following three sections:
PRODUCT SUCCESS
The “How To” of developing a successful product or program
PERSONAL SUCCESS
The “How To” of psychological well being and balance to accompany product success.
