It’s been said that what frustrates us the most is what we want to change the most. Frustrations are things that make our lives harder, our businesses less profitable, and our careers that much more stagnant.
When we take a good look at what makes people get frustrated, we begin to understand what we can do to take away or ease that frustration. This is good for them, good for you, and definitely good for proving your product or services are needed.
