The dirty little secret…
You can’t!
You might not love it,
but somebody does.
Understand why you think it’s boring…
Think it’s not sexy?
You don’t need it?
Suck it up and learn to love it!
How to get warm and fuzzy feelings
about a boring industry…
1. Research the Industry
2. Understand the customer
3. Find the intersect
Here are a few great
examples from Uberflip
and HubSpot…
