I think an important matter is too easily neglected in the field of information about entrepreneurship. Mostly, when doing research you'll always be taught to master a skill that you can sell, and what the best ways are to obtain that particular skill. Or that you have to come up with this amazing idea that will make the world a better place.
So that's what my naïve self did, just start working on projects with my new obtained skills, or that I learned on the journey. Now, the result was always the same once I launched my product; it was just me and the sound of crickets (no one gives a shit). Luckily these skills are not a sunk cost, but in regard of the projects valuable time is lost there.
I'm starting to believe that developing a good product isn't even the most essential factor anymore. Instead, I start to think that the 'obtainment of customers' is the most essential skill of an entrepreneur. You can have the most amazing skill, but if you cannot attract customers you're nothing with it...
Please make up my mind, or share books/sources that cover this.
