#2Point #4 of "Don't undersell yourself" reminds me of Cialdini's Commitment and Consistency principle (in Influence, the Psychology of Persuation). Insightful.

#5How could you expect anyone to pay for your product if you don’t do it yourself.
I find this particularly insightful. I think we tend to project our own perspectives onto other people and if someone personally doesn't pay for software it's difficult to believe that anyone would.
This is my principal challenge as I attempt to transition into an entrepreneur. I hate spending money and it's probably affecting the quality of the work I produce. I often opt to produce my own designs when I would probably be better off outsourcing that on something like 99 designs.
Old habits die hard but I am working on getting over it and articles like this one help a great deal.

Sorry about that, I think I fixed it. My english is not as good as it should indeed. You can see I "translated" valorizing straight from French there...

What I did at first is I bought stuff from competitors or similar products. It was easier for me since I considered it market research in my head :)
But now of course it's a lot easier to spent the money I've made online on other products. I feel like I give back when I do so.
This is all just a story you tell yourself.

I disagree. However, I wish he had more to say about how to pick your market.
