Brant's Rant | Lean Startup | Sales and Marketing Roadmap

Is My Poem Lean?

Lean is not about the funding you take,
The size of your sales force, the money you make.
Lean is not how much money you spend,
That you like your product and so does your friend.
To test your guess and iterate,
To kill your favorite feature your customers hate,
To exercise ideas, removing the sheen,
That is what makes a startup lean.

    Not until you remove the third verse. I can’t stand it. 😉

    Awesome poem dude,
    Only one small suggestion:
    Pivot to haiku.

    Great poem (funny but true). Everyone is implementing LEAN into their business toolkits (just had another LEAN training.
