"Life's Too Short to Build Something Nobody Wants".
I have been an entrepreneur for more than a decade, and throughout that time I have been in search of a better, faster way for building successful products.
Then I ran into early works on Customer Development and Lean Startup pioneered by Steve Blank and Eric Ries. I joined in on the conversation and have been rigorously applying and testing these principles since then. I started sharing my learning on this blog, which then turned into a book, and subsequently into a series of products aimed at helping entrepreneurs raise their odds of success.
That is my mission and reason for being.
Save yourself months of wasted effort and the frustration of building something nobody wants by learning how to take the right action at the right time. In this Running Lean Workshop, you'll learn the methodology of the Lean Startup that will raise your odds of buiding successful products. Running Lean was developed through rigorous testing of the Lean Startup, Customer Development, and Bootstrapping techniques, and has been successfully applied to dozens of products ranging from b2c, enterprise, clean tech, and no tech products. What you'll learn * How do I find problems worth solving? * How do I document my business model? * How do I find early customers? * How do I systematically test my business model? * How do I build and measure what customers want?
Ash Murray explain every aspect with clarity and good examples. I will recommend the course to all of my colleges.
Why I love about this course is that the approach is 100% practical, not only because Ash use a lot of his own examples, but because the Lean Canvas methodology is designed after living the experience by himself and then he is anticipating all the problems and questions that you will have about it. Highly Recommended!
The way Ash breaks down the concepts of Lean Startup makes this a practical workbook that really moves idea development forward. While the ideas I'm validating are in the digital realm, they are not based on uber-new-technology, and I still found it all immensely useful.
This course was the clearest I have ever heard lean concepts discussed. It was very informative and gave you tactics that you can implement immediately.
