1
The most important piece of advice I ever got.
2
The first day Y Combinator, Paul Graham said, it's better to have 100 people love you than a million people sort of like you.
3
And that came from Paul Buchheit.
4
Paul Buchheit was a partner of Y Combinator.
5
He created Gmail.
6
And I think that the old famous story was he created Gmail and it took him two years.
7
And they said, you can't ship it until 100 people inside of Google loved it.
8
And it actually took like two years to get 100 people to actually like the product.
9
But once 100 people like something, 100 million people like it.
10
And so the problem is you try to make something a million people like, you can't talk to a million people.
11
And so you end up like with this shallow swimming pool.
12
It's like you're trying to heat up an ocean.
13
And the ocean just, it takes too long to heat up and you can't tell.
14
Instead of heating up an ocean, heat up a bathtub.
15
And like just make the problem as small as possible.
16
And you're close to the customer.
17
In fact, if you only are focused on one city or even a subset of city, you can talk to every person.
18
You can put all these resources on a tiny problem, and I guarantee you, take a ton of resources you put on a tiny problem,
19
the smaller the problem, the more you'll change the numbers, the trajectory.
20
That will teach you lessons.
21
In other words, you do things that don't scale, then you scale.
22
The scaling is industrialization.
23
But product market fit is a distinct problem from industrialization.
24
You want to basically make the problem as small as possible, understand the user, put yourself in their shoes,
25
blow their mind, do things you've never thought before, do Do them by hand.
26
Make them unscalable.
27
Don't worry how much it costs.
28
Just prove the model.
29
Before you manufacture something, you prototype.
30
You make prototype after prototype after prototype until you make something that you love for yourself or someone loves.
FOR YOU

什么是跟读法？
跟读法 (Shadowing) 是一种有科学依据的语言学习技巧，最初开发用于专业口译员的培训，并由多语言者Alexander Arguelles博士普及。这个方法简单而强大：您在听英语母语原声的同时立即大声重复——就像是一个延迟1-2秒紧跟说话者的影子。与被动听力或语法练习不同，跟读法强迫您的大脑和口腔肌肉同时处理并模仿真实的讲话模式。研究表明它能显着提高发音准确性，语调，节奏，连读，听力理解和口语流利度——使其成为雅思口语备考和真实英语交流最有效的方法之一。
