Key take aways from Purple Cow by Seth Godin

- You have to build the product to be worthwhile of spreading by the evangelizers amongst the early adopters from day 1

Be hyper targeted
- Evangelizers amongst the adopters are the folks that will sell your product to the early majority

- Seek to be remarkable amongst the audience you are trying to serve

Forget about the majority and the laggards - don't waste bandwidth targeting them
- cater the message specifically to the audience you are trying to target

- important to be able to take on their perception to see the world

Mirror neurons
- Meditation might be helpful

- Balancing Early Adopters and Majority

The Majority requires the product be further simplified
- Early adopters require the product to be remarkable
- When product gets to the early majority stage, its time to start another side product that will cater to the early adopters
