A Great Product: Make Something People Want
This sounds a lot easier than it really is. But, I do believe that it mainly comes down to forcing yourself to adhere to this philosophy. Paul Graham says it well here:
Here it is: I like to find (a) simple solutions (b) to overlooked problems (c) that actually need to be solved, and (d) deliver them as informally as possible, (e) starting with a very crude version 1, then (f) iterating rapidly.
I like that. I try to do that. I veer off course at times. But I persevere.
