If you can get your business to appeal to a niche audience, you will have an ongoing income stream from them. You will need to know what these people think, what they do, and what kind of lives they live. For example, if you're marketing nutritional products, the worst kind of mindset you can get into is thinking that 'everyone needs those kind of products'.
