Guest Post on SoftwareByRob: How Love Can Kill Your Product

Tweet

I have a guest post on Software By Rob (Rob Walling’s blog) today about my former photography business and how my blind love for the product ended up being the reason it tanked.

I like to point out the lessons of failure for everyone so we can learn for our mistakes, especially my own.  Enjoy.
