Getting to the right problem is half the solution
Why? 3 reasons; solve for a customer pain, solve for a business pain point, or initiative from a compliance/legal perspective
If you make a mistake; own up to it, learn from it, get better at it
You're only as great as your team and it truly takes a village to build an awesome product
Assimilate the best of your team into the product thinking
Iterate, iterate, iterate because progress eats perfection for lunch
