The title of this episode should give you a good idea of what its about. Hopefully it can prevent you from making the same mistakes I made. I began doing idea (re)validation calls with existing Lesson Underground members this week. I was able to talk to 6 people so far and am hoping to continue to get more feed back and collect more data points. While doing these calls, it quickly became evident that what we had built was just not what customers were looking for. I talked to my partner Aaron about the things I was hearing from these customers and we both independently came to the conclusion that it would just be too expensive to try to retool what we already have and paid for to effectively solve the problems the customers are telling us they have. Thus we are essentially starting over, throwing away a $50k investment. As bad as I felt for wasting our money, I feel equally as bad about not using the app Sudokrew had developed for us. Sure we paid them, but no one likes seeing something they worked really
