The "focus on your users" is especially true. I totally agree with number 7... i guess this comes down to the different types of people - i'm definitely one of those "just do it" types (not necessarily a good thing). Number 10 is right on the money (or not ;-) ). Cheers, Andy Great summary. The “focus on your users” is especially true.

I see your point about 7,8 and 9--and as a marketing person, I guess I should really be freaked out by 9 (I'm not)--but I think he's really just eliminating the potential for close-minded analysis. He's already doing market research when he listens to his community. He's doing marketing when he shares his idea and builds his community. And no one should OBSESS over spreadsheet business plans...
