And we are back. This is Mike Sternrich from Daintram Play,

the Gorilla Mindsette with an Ask Me Anything podcast covering wisdom

intelligence judgment business yada yada.

So I answer these on Twitter, and now I'm going to answer them here

in more detail, and with more elaboration.

I think that's how you say that, right?

I'm going to elaborate.

You wouldn't say that I'm doing more elaboration?

I don't know.

Something for you guys to think about.

That'll be my ask you anything. If I'm going to elaborate, what would I say? I'm giving you answers with more elaboration. That'd be right. All right, let's get going. First question, Mike, how did you know Gorilla Minds that was going to be a big success? Well, hey, thanks for calling it a big success. I appreciate that.

Here's why. Here's what I did and then we'll go to like the bigger principle all right?

I had a blog I didn't think you could make any money off a blog

you know I didn't have any idea what I was doing but then I learned how to read Google Analytics, I learned how it searches optimization, and I learned, oh, if people are searching for information, then they will pay for it.

Now, that goes to the big business principle that people people mess up man.

So here's business you either you're either meeting an existing demand or you are creating an entirely new market.

That's all there is to it. You know you learn an Econ 101 price is

determined by what supply and demand, more demand, higher price, right? But that presuppose is that there's

a demand for your product. I think my buddy Chris Diyotis of good looking lose or had a great post talking

about, you know, the importance of demand.

And it's one of those business lessons, a lot of people just overlook people, like,

I got a great idea for business.
