This talk is over 10 years old. And it's still relevant today as it was back in 2011. This is one of my all favourite talks of all time

7:53, exactly As Drucker said 'The worst thing in the world is to do very well what need not be done at all." Find your customers pains and gains, then sell them exactly what they need.

Reading books has really skyrocket the way I think about investing. Indeed, no one has ever got rich by saving money. If you want to become financially free, You need to Invest. I've come to realize that the key to amassing wealth lies in making sound investments.

[@georgestone0123]

Yeah, You're Right! According to a book writer; ‘What everyone needs is to work with a financial advisor, who can help you get in and out of any investment at any time and you'd sure be in profit.

[@tahirisaid2693]

I’m trying to get onto the investing ladder at 40. I wish at 55 I will be testifying to huge success!

[@chriswalter92]

Whichever firm you select, make sure you get your insurance from a reputable financial adviser, such as *Jenny Pamogas Canaya,* who has dedicated her career to financial planning. Because they will assist you in escalating, navigating better, and completing the task in a safer manner..||

[@tahirisaid2693]

I've come across several positive endorsements of Jenny Pamogas Canaya on various platforms, including KZbin channels, seminars, and more._.

[@tahirisaid2693]

Thanks to these recommendations, I successfully located her online profile and have already reached out to her with a message

[@rohitnair9304]

It's interesting to see how much of this is now common wisdom in the startup world. A bit like tasks and bonuses.

[@reneetsielepi160]

So relevant - will always be relevant. Great actually seeing this after reading the lean startup! Every agileist should watch this!

[@michaeltronn]

Lean Startups is the great business development innovation I was wanting. I was so bored by the old models. Thank you.

[@thomasdam9916]

This methodology of knowing when to stop pursuing something and changing direction (pivoting) applies to so much more than management or startups alone! Whether it's a personal career path, a plan for a vacation, someone trying to hold on to a toxic relationship. Just taking a moment to realize that it is no longer beneficial to continue working on it (whatever it is you're doing) is useful in almost any situation. Sure, we're told to follow our heart and dreams by pretty much every self-help book out there. But giving up on a dream every once in a while shouldn't be looked down upon as a disaster. The shattering of one dream can show you the way to a new one. This way a lesson can be drawn from almost anything you do, anything we do, anything a company does or anything our collective society does. All we need to do is take this opportunity to learn, reflect on our actions and take time for this. Oftentimes it isn't even necessary to give up entirely, a small adjustment in another direction is all that's needed. So long as we later take a look to see whether this other direction was a right one and continue this loop of constant improvement. Beautiful talk, inspired me to think broader than only on the scale of startups.

Which made you laugh?

[@crvstalfiction]

The audience noise was reduced for playback. The audience was definitely interacting.

[@teaiianomusic]

I am too. The appropriate use of sarcasm and acid wit in the workplace is a dying art. Susan Scott has also gotten it down to a science.

[@MrAussieV8]

Eric; good on you. Your "learning" insight about customers in the talk between 30 and 33 minutes was GOLD! Thank you for sharing this [for free] in this video.

[@DaveWard-xc7vd]

Based upon the claps at the end the audience was half asleep. Great talk. Lots to think about. Thank you.

[@felipedigregorio3948]

This guy was ahead of his time, it sounds like the audience was in disbelief of his points. Now it's the standard for product innovation

[@user-sp7zq9cr9x]

can us tell some more books on this topic

[@myflo3109]

We are firm fans of The Lean Strat Up so this talk was quite a find. The book is governing how we function as a lean startup. Thank you Eric for the book to to Authors@Google for uploading this. Much appreciated.

Hey Eric, I've really appreciated and took to heart your speech, I'm a small company owner and would like to see how I could develop more and expand on my business ventures.

[@ahmadchannel9303]

Brilliant. Thank you So much for your book that really changed my paradigm. 1# book of all time in terms of startups

[@farooqfarooqui7507]

I heard about lean startup, strategy, management, etc. in many meetings and discussions but never got a chance to know more about it. Recently I read book the lean startup and found many organisations spend money, time, energy in building final products that either customers do not want or they don't like. Also, with traditional way of product development customers are involved at very late phase of the project. results, product cannot be change or revert back because company spends months/years in building product. With lean startup, organisations, new teams, new entrepreneur, product development team can build minimum viable product without knowing full requirements or knowing all possible assumptions.

[@LAinLA86]

Guys a very good speaker. Very clear, concise, engaging

[@ninoelizbarashvili7032]

Thank you very much for interesting and effective training

[@MySweetLuck]

Huge thanks to him. Learned so much from this book and even inspired me to make chapter by chapter summaries in my channel

[@brockwilliams6339]

experimentation is an important part of the lean startup idea. The lean startup process can be used for companies that are already established and startups alike. Clearly, Google implements the lean startups. This allows for flexibility in creation and increased innovation. While the entrepreneurial spirit may still be present, there is increased focus on solution rather profit that leads to fiscal stability later on. This anti-intuitive attitude to business makes sense practically and garners support from the customers first rather than focusing on sales. However, another important aspect is not just taking the failure but learning how to pivot when the solution does not work as planned. In some cases this pivot can lead to a product that is even greater than what was originally pursued. This was a very interesting video on a compelling topic. This book must be even more interesting.

[@manchul]

I love this question at 56:11 "Why is it not okay for Google to fail. Why not take risks, fall on your face and admit it quickly and move on". I don't think Eric said anything about "It's not okay for Google to fail".

[@deeshrestha8637]

you make a great practical sense to me.

[@TheBengineer3712]

Interesting to apply this to the very small start up offering physical services.

here in 2021 (almost 2022) and seeing the empty crowd at Google for Eric Ries, whose Lean Startup book is one of the most important books in entrepreneurship and product management

[@MerceC]

I like the way he addressed the crowd and house rules. 😆👍

[@MajedDalain]

I am sitting on the edge while listening, really interesting. you save us a lot of wasted work :D

[@dorotheeseguy]

Guys, guys, guys, men. If people who address entrepreneurship and anything else could take into account that women are their target too, it would be wonderful. Words have power.

It's a very interesting lecture, it helps my business a alot.

#StartUps The Dominant question of our time is not can it be built but should we Build it, and the issue is, Can we build a sustainable business around a particular product. - Eric Ries

what was the google product was he talking about, nearly the end?

[@mercytoday]

I loved every second of it!!!!

[@alexanderphongjoker1868]

Great! Thank you for sharing.

[@HashimWarren]

at 38:04 did Eric Ries start speaking hypothetically about the Google Wave debacle?

[@acedshort]

Is he talking about Google/wave buzz? Anyone know what product of Google's he is referring to around 52-53 minutes?

[@CommonwealthAmerican]

Wow, can someone appreciate what an excellent public speaker this guy is! Geesh.

@CtheChange... I'm looking for more of a written/diagramed presentation of the Lean framework. Would love to see your mind map, but can't seem to find it. Any help? Also, anyone else who'd like to point to something more graphic an distilled, I'd be grateful. Thanks!

[@akj3344]

This idea is amazing.

[@MrTmapp]

Hes got a real good point. Google should test and pivot its products outside of the brand then when it is real good, launch and enjoy success of having the Google brand against it.

[@ethanthebrave2895]

:) Defo. For any company doing innovative and expensive development. Imagine spending 2 yrs on building something and launching to flat air? Can't believe the manager in the audience thought Google should be ok with public failure. The words 'arrogance of monopoly' springs to mind there.

[@ilanlevi6082]

brilliant and pragmatic!

[@MiloszKrasinski]

What's really fascinating is the fact behind Tech City Startups based in Shoreditch / Old Street ( London) that only fraction of them properly attempting to LEAN thinking. Concierge MVP is very rare in reality but what's trendy is the GROWTH HACKING as it would be somehow solution....

[@hoodfilmproduction9025]

[@TheSkjoldborg]

Even today, companies prefer to have a big launch of a product or feature with no idea if anyone wants what they made. They leave the customer out of the early parts of the product development process at their own peril.
