Talk to your customers, even if you hear bad things

This tweetstorm this morning, I think, is very important for IndieHackers community: https://twitter.com/AsiaMatos/status/1174322268488572928

"I'm starting to realize that the number one reason why founders don't like doing customer interviews and research is because they're trying to avoid rejection and failure." (and 8 more tweets)

From reading IndieHackers for the last week, I see quite a lot of people here asking for the questions that are aimed at approval from the community - about their idea, about landing page, about first version of the product.

Which is kind of a mistake - instead of talking to your community of Makers and IndieHackers, you need to ask those questions to your potential CUSTOMERS.

And, of course, it's hard to find them and catch them, it's much easier to just post online in the forum.
And, of course, they may not like your first version of the product. But hey, that's kind of the whole point!
And, of course, they may tell "It's a good idea" but be careful and ask the right questions to get the insights you need to grow your product.

Go talk to THEM, not to us. No fellow IndieHacker knows what your customers need better than THEY do.
