Prototype Quickly
You don’t need a factory to test an idea. A prototype is simply the fastest, cheapest way to make your product real enough to learn from. The point isn’t perfection — it’s proof.
If you’re making coffee, that might mean a small batch of beans roasted by a local supplier and sealed in plain bags with printed stickers. For soap, it could be a handmade bar in sample molds. For clothing, it’s one piece sewn by a local tailor or a single manufacturer sample.
The sooner you hold a prototype in your hands, the sooner you can see what works and what doesn’t: texture, packaging fit, print clarity, even how customers react. Don’t wait for “final” — early prototypes save time, money, and frustration later.
Pick one product and create a prototype within the next two weeks. Keep it small: 10 sample bags, 5 soap bars, 1 garment. Photograph it, share it with a few people, and note their reactions.
