I would advise you to spend some time watching infomercials like the guy who invented an expanding hose or the my pillow guy.

All of these people have a story for themselves like the origin story of a superhero. All of these people can talk your ear off about how much suffering they experienced from the inferior products of their competitors and can point to 10 or 20 attributes their project has that are superior to competitors.

If you don't feel that strongly about the product you ought to ask yourself if you want to go forward.
