I’ll illustrate how — and how not to — succeed when venturing into the unknown when starting a business.

Stepping into the customer’s shoes & seeing the world through their eyes can be both rewarded and scary. However, it’s critical if you really want to be successful.

This kind of reminds me of a quote by Mark Cuban: "Don't follow your passion; follow your effort."

If you really want to succeed, you'll do whatever it takes to get there- even if you don't particularly know so much about your chosen field at the beginning. If you work hard enough, and smart enough, you'll get there. And in the end, the passion will follow.

Susan: Thought provoking statement by Mark Cuban. Personally, I don't see any contractions between starting out working with a passion for a product / service and then with your efforts developing your business.
