How to set up the right environment for a discovery? Work with enough sloppiness so that something unexpected could happen - but not too sloppy that you can't recognize what it was. This is what Max Delbrück called the 'principle of limited sloppiness'.

Marketing is simply understanding the deeper reasons why customers are purchasing.

Even the author mostly dismisses it. Nonetheless, even if real, it is definitely not Planet Nine, since it wouldn't cause the gravitational effects we see. Instead a serendipitous discovery made of something else while searching for Planet Nine.

So true! 👏
The best athletes develop a deep love for the monotony, the routine.

Many talk of “variability, change, new, different” etc & while this matters sometimes what’s more important is CONSISTENCY Find what you/athlete can do per week month year quadrennial decade CONSISTENCY IS KING @Alan_Couzens @StuartMcMillan1 @coachgambetta @stevemagness @pntrack

The pain killed by market-focused software is real—which is why these companies have legs long term.
This is just the beginning of the Vertical SaaS Tsunami.

Vertical SaaS solves The Laundromat Problem.
@trycents and @Ajekowsky solves it for Laundromats.
@CarbonHealth and @erenbali solve it for doctors' offices.
@classpass @askmindbody and @PayalKadakia solve for gyms.
@coursekeyedu solves it for trade schools.

How much do you enjoy opening a birthday gift that takes multiple days to assemble? Do you enjoy later finding out that you put it together incorrectly?
That’s the world of horizontal SaaS 👿
Companies might not understand why they have this problem, but they feel the pain.

Think about how much time companies spend configuring their Business Intelligence Tools, their CRMs, their support desks.
And that’s companies that can afford to spend time and resources on this.

What about markets that don’t have IT support or engineers?

The average company today uses more than 20 different software solutions.

That’s insane.
This is happening because everyone has a cluster of point solutions, not an all-in-one tool that’s catered to its specific business/industry. But this isn’t sustainable.

You might think, “it’s just a laundromat,” but here’s the catch: the Laundromat Problem is NOT unique to Dustin’s business.
Some spin on The Laundromat Problem is happening at /almost every company/ in every market.

Configuring, maintaining, and integrating all those SaaS products is a lot of work—and nobody at Dustin’s Laundromat has the skills to do it optimally.
In general, the software is being mis-used... if it’s used at all.

None of these solutions cater specifically to laundromats. So, Dustin spends many hours configuring them to talk to one another.
This creates a really annoying, challenging process for a non-technical group of folks who are literally there to fold laundry.

Dustin runs a laundromat on a busy street corner.
Today, to support his business, Dustin uses 10+ software products.
He has a Point-Of-Sale system, an inventory management solution, and 3 kinds of advertising software. 😱
