Here are a few life lessons to create a successful brand<\/a> in a niche you know nothing about:<\/p>\n One has to start afresh in any new field, but a lack of knowledge shouldn\u2019t mean a lack of interest. Don\u2019t touch something that you don\u2019t find interesting. Eventually, you would be required to learn a lot about it.<\/p>\n The best part about being small is that you don\u2019t have a reputation to defend or a fragile ego. A few rejections won\u2019t hurt as much, in fact, you might end up building a reputation for resilience, the hallmark of a true startup.\u00a0The legendary Dhirubhai Ambani once said \u201cI am willing to salute anyone\u201d – this kind of humility and fearlessness is something that the established players would normally lack. Fortunately or unfortunately, in life, love, and business, the shameless usually succeed.<\/p>\n Lack of knowledge can be incredibly liberating, one can come up with insights which the experts or old timers might miss because of too much knowledge. Steve Jobs revolutionized the music industry not because he was an expert, but because he was an outsider. He could see dispassionately that the revenue model so dear to the music companies was dying quickly, something the pros refused to consider.<\/p>\n Since you would be a newcomer, you are expected to make mistakes. There is no harm in making mistakes. However, learn from them and move on.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n You need to know things, not only theoretically, but practically too. Communicate regularly with your employees and stay in touch with your customers to always stay in the thick of things. But, most of all, learn to do things on your own so that you know what really goes on.<\/p>\n You might hate to admit, but the experts do come in handy, especially in the technical and legal areas of business, something you just don\u2019t want to lead by \u2018intuitive understanding\u2019.<\/p>\n The David and Goliath conflict was settled with the use of the sling. In the modern world, technology is the sling that startups can use to kill a much bigger opponent.<\/p>\nLack of knowledge shouldn\u2019t mean lack of interest<\/strong><\/h3>\n
