Become an expert within four weeks in the industry in which you create a product.
from The 4-Hour Workweek by Timothy Ferriss
Some product ideas that you have might require you to be an expert in the industry, for example, if you would like to make a DVD of yoga lessons. And there is a difference between being perceived as an expert and being one.
You can easily start being perceived as a top expert in almost any industry within four weeks.
