Creating a great product

Story by Tobias Tullius

Purpose gives you fire. Fire creates stories. Stories put meaning into products. Your product connected with a story stands out. Similar products lacking transparency, agenda, purpose and a story do not win trust. They do not rise. They do not become Great. They stay there, in the corner of ‘good’ products and one day fade out.

Let’s dive into steps involved in creating a great product.

1. Find a purpose

2. Hit it

3. Be available

4. Get a burning Fire

1. Find a purpose

Search by Michael Dziedzic

Something that stands out. A school, a rule, a narrative, a thought or a vision. Purpose is not a product. It is neither selfish nor self-centric. It changes something wrong around you. It seems impossible to achieve yet achieve-able. Difficult yet simple. Mad yet sober. It is something that breaks your barriers, gives you faith and guides you to take crazy steps.

2. Hit it

Boxer by Nathz Guardia

Run towards your purpose like your life depends upon it. That once you hit it, it breaks something. Creates a new life. Is quoted in a history book. Inspires your next generation.

It seems doubtful and un-natural. But this is how it is; retarded, clumsy, shady and Great. Your final product, has no imperfection inside it. It is not critique-able, challenge-able or beat-able.

3. Be available

Humble by Abdullah Ghatasheh

One important purpose doesn’t give you the freedom to compromise on your responsibilities. It doesn’t let you walk on your self construed path. It doesn’t give you the pride. It simply doesn’t elevate you in your people.

You act tiny. While you are rushing towards your purpose, you need to act humble. You need to be available for help. You need to pull others, hold them tighter that you bring them along. The people around you, are your momentum.

4. Burning Fire

The most important step in making a great product, is to lit a volcanic fire inside you. It oozes out of your eyes, tongue, work and sentences. At times this fire hurts people. Most times it connects people. And always it creates a Great product.

If you do not have the fire yet, try to “Act” like you have one inside you. To be honest, I don’t have it yet. But I act like it is oozing out of my body. When I act louder, blunt and ruthless, it changes the meaning of the talk. Emotions come running into our gatherings. Some make faces and some find it harsh. But the artificial fire, creates a momentum. A momentum that fights for you, beside you and pushes you.

The fire is linked with the purpose. The purpose is linked with the truth. The truth is linked with Quran. And Quran is linked with Allah. That said, fire 🔥 comes, when you start including Allah in your equations.

Conclusion

Ticking by Ariel Pilotto

If you do not want to create a product yet, I say, you are getting late. Start with the wanting, already. You do not have another day to waste. Tomorrow it will be 24 x 60 x 60 x 1000 = 86,400,000 milliseconds wasted. Each milli, is a million sparks inside your body. Each spark is a particle of the fire you are looking for. If these sparks are not lit today, encompassed inside a purpose and put to work that takes to your dream, you will have wasted a life time of sparks till tomorrow. You will lag behind. You will lose more than you know. And you will fail tomorrow.

Take one small action today. Make an announcement and jump into fire. You will either lose, fail or fall. But you will have learnt one thing. Tomorrow the one thing will make you more educated, better learned and something beautiful than you are today. Tomorrow, you will be 1 step closer to creating the Great Product.
