We spend so much time and energy on it and convince ourselves how great it is. We look at it and say, "How can anyone not just LOVE this item?" I like to call it the New Baby Syndrome. To every mother their baby is the most lovely baby in the world. They are not objective, they are biased. And that is exactly what happens to us business people.
OK, if I'm so smart - What is the solution! The solution is to do the exact opposite. First find a group of hungry buyers. Then figure out what it is they want. Lastly, Give them exactly what they are asking for!
Sounds too simple to be true? It isn't, it really is that easy! eBay is the largest source of hungry buyers in the world!
