Above all else, I wanted The Path to Pivot to be a Useful Book.
So I turned to an expert.
@robfitz is the author of The Mom Test, which has helped tens of thousands of founders validate their ideas better.
He wrote another one on workshops that I highly recommend.
But it’s his third book, titled:
Write Useful Books
That really influenced how I wrote mine
Ever the entrepreneur, Rob advocates extensive beta reading.
He even built a piece of software (HelpThisBook dot com) to track how people move through your book.
It looks just like a product retention curve so of course I love it 🤓
Through Help This Book and the Useful Authors community, I collected 503 pieces of feedback.
From “love this so much” to “the words aren’t wording” (for real)
Iterating over 6 versions of the book give me confidence that I have a might have a reasonably Useful Book on my hands.
But ultimately that’s for you to decide.
My ambition is that in 10 years, The Path to Pivot is the book every seasoned founder, investor, or advisor recommends to someone considering a pivot.
(Make no small plans)
Thanks Rob, for showing me the way.
