The Myth of 'If You Build It, They Will Come'

Entrepreneurs often fall into the trap of believing that simply creating a product or service will guarantee success, a belief that is proven false in practice. The emphasis should be placed on identifying a target audience and understanding their needs before developing a solution. Rather than relying on assumptions, business builders should engage with potential customers to determine what they truly want and need, as this proactive approach increases the chances of success. The speaker shares how their own experience led them to grow their business organically, achieving substantial growth by effectively finding and serving their audience.
