We have become a culture that celebrates successful entrepreneurs like rockstars. Bill Gates, Steve Jobs, Richard Branson, Mark Zuckerberg and Jeff Bezos have become icons in our society. There is a feeling that working on a startup is so much cooler than working in a large established company. Steve Jobs famously remarked that, “It is more fun to be a pirate than to join the Navy”.

Does your product positioning need to be different than your sales narratives? The short and simple answer is no, but it’s highly dependent on how your product positioning is constructed. As a former product marketing manager, I know this all too well and was guilty in the first degree! We tend to overthink our messaging, try to say too much, try too hard to be eloquent with our words and if there aren’t a lot of superlatives and buzzwords, we feel like we’ve failed.

There’s something to be said for learning lessons “the hard way.” When you suffer as a result of a lesson, it may be more permanently imprinted into your brain. When you learn something with only an abstract understanding of the consequences of failure, there’s a risk of the lesson not fully sinking in. Or maybe that’s just something we tell ourselves to feel better about having made a mistake.
