Instead of "if you build it, they they will come." For Altucher it's actually, "if you pretend you can build it, they will come."

This is a common theme in some of Altucher's other stories. I think it would only be lying if you acted like you had already built it. However, selling your ability to build a future product is definitely not lying.
