Treat yourself as a product

The eagle has said a word, I do not remember the words, I do every thing, the purpose of each product is not to do everything well, do every product, I just think, this thing is I do, this product is I make, I will do the best.

"Everyone is product Manager" This book I read for a long time, not because there are too many professional terminology, nor because I am a layman, but because the book has a lot of things worth thinking about. I didn't do the product directly, so when I read this book, I thought of myself as a product.

To be yourself, to be the best of yourself, to be your own product manager, I thought.

So, what was the original intention of buying this book?

I want to learn to use the Product manager's thinking to look at everything around, I once thought, if the side of things are considered to be an infinitely improved products, that would be what it will be.

For example, when you go to a restaurant, you start using the product manager's thinking, researching menus, observing renovations, paying attention to services, and so on, until you find a place to improve, then give advice to the restaurant, improve the restaurant, and do better.

This is just an ideal idea, and it is not true.

I used to offer advice to a friend's open shop, such as menu making, food improvement, sign replacement ... But the other side gives the feedback is request me not to raise the opinion, he said I do not like others to come to my shop to negate my work, if other people come to my shop to eat the food to say is disgusting, also refers to the point, I must give them the facial expression to look. Although I knew my friend was just joking, I didn't dare to make any comments later.

Later, I reflect on, in fact, not every product needs to improve, it needs to meet some people, if the boss like to do so, others also feel that there is no problem, you do not have the use of advice, your comments can only meet the addiction of their own mouth.

So I came to the conclusion that you can't ask someone to do something for you, you can only use these experiences to enrich yourself, so I decided to use the product manager's idea for myself, not to try to change the world to satisfy myself, to change the world by changing myself.

It's not easy to change yourself, it's been a long time, I think that my values have not yet been finished, even until now I still feel that I have not learned enough, so I always buy books to read and think, read again, think again, wrote again, feel that this will make their income more profound, Just like the product in the use of their own, to use more, for a long time, so as to find and change a little bit.

Confucius Three provinces a day, I asked myself not to do, can only reluctantly write a daily article, one months to write a summary of a big introspection, according to the product manager's thinking, the summary of each month is a version of the upgrade, Last month is V2014.08, this month is the V2014.09, through these small steps to improve, with a variety of standards to measure themselves, using a variety of data to evaluate their own, is really the real field of their own products to do. Although this is a bit blunt, but to their own strict point, this is the product vision.
