How to go about Prototyping

When it comes to prototyping, there is a common error all of us make. We spend a whole lot of time and energy and effort in the journey leading up to the prototype. We are so convinced in our process that we end up creating the best thing possible. However, we have a huge blind spot - the user. The after-effects of this blind spot are huge.
