The Wilderness Period
Is a period of internal struggles after the early enthusiasm of an MVP: “You try to sell your minimum viable product, encounter objections you hadn’t anticipated, race to code the new requirements (the new MVP), and repeat. The Wilderness Period can take two months, two years, or forever.”
Escaping the Wilderness Period requires clearly reverse-engineering your buyer and concisely answering the following questions about your product:
- What immediate pain do you solve?
- Who exactly is the buyer?
- What is the sales motion?
- How does the team and its belief system need to evolve?
