It's sad to think that quality is not always enough to get noticed.

The more I enter the startup / entrepreneurship world, the more I see bullshit is mandatory.

The problem is, sometimes we are not good at communicating (bullshit?).

It's not sad to think that, it's essential. "If you build it, they will come" is the fastest path to failure, an average product with great marketing will beat a great product with no marketing any day.


You need both. Your average website is only going to get visited by bots (Hi Google!) unless you do some type of marketing.
