Great news. It seems like everyone who ever mentions Four Steps to Epiphany says the same thing: Amazing content, you should take the time to read it, but I haven't actually been able to get through it yet.
That being said, damoncali, I never thought the blog was that great compared to the book
Will I buy his new book? Probably.
FWIW, I think The Four Steps to the Epiphany is absolutely in "must read" category. Sure, you can crib together most (if not all) of the same material from reading hundreds of different blog posts, spread over dozens of blogs.. but if you just read the book, you get all of the important content, in one place, with the methodology all laid out in order, with the diagrams, etc.
Honestly, I'd argue that reading TFSTTE should be a prerequisite to reading any of the various blogs and articles out there that touch on Customer Development and the Lean Startup approach. But that's just my take...
The book probably has some good worksheets in it, though, so maybe worth it for that.
If you've never done Enterprise sales/mktg for a new product before, you will hear practically every objection written there.
It's sad that the writing is too heavy for people. It's well worth the read.
But deep down, I'm looking for step by step instructions. Standing on the shoulders of giants, someone will eventually write it.
