#054 My experience in product development (11/06/2023)

Welcome everyone to read this week's journal! It's the last day of the week again, let's relax and chat a bit.

Similar to last week, I'm currently working on sampling for a product that will be launched at the end of this year . I've also officially commissioned a company to write the project proposal and apply for a patent. I believe that once the patent is filed in about a month, we can start discussing it freely. While creating the sampling , there's one point I'd like to write about, hoping it can help those who read weekly journals. They can refer to it when they one day "invent a product" or want to try something new:

Allow nine months to a year, and try regardless of how low the success rate is.

The concept is this: to turn your ideas into reality, give yourself ample time to try! Nine months or a year seems like a good timeframe. Within this timeframe, you need to transform your ideas into reality. Whether you're developing a product, starting a business, or creating an innovative service, you should be able to give yourself a deadline. In my own experience, nine months to a year provides enough pressure to prevent you from relaxing, and the timeframe isn't too short to ensure you can truly make it a reality. I believe different things require different amounts of time; this is just a reference.

Before Re Pillow , I tried building websites or doing some projects for fun, all for my own enjoyment. I think each project would take about 6-9 months to complete. Of course, they all failed, but during that time I had enough pressure to try to make them work, and I also had enough time to keep trying, falling down and getting back up.

During the trial and error process, you may have different ideas and different methods to do the same thing. I suggest you try each method at least once, no matter how low its success rate may be. Really try it without prejudice or preconceived notions. Don't decide on a particular method before you've actually tried it. You need to be completely neutral, imagine yourself as a balanced scale, try each method once, and then decide which method to use in the end.

This is also a method I use when researching products . Even if a method seems really stupid and unlikely to work (and in fact, it didn't work in the end), I will still try it seriously and only draw conclusions after testing it. So, one of the reasons for reserving more time for yourself is this.

The Re Quilt 2 has actually gone through a lot of development before it came to be, and it will be launched this month. I'm really excited! I think it's a truly groundbreaking and innovative product. Everyone will see it very soon.
