the problem with this attitude is you build a list of ideas and then don't end up working on any because none of them feel like they're the best you can come up with. Or you switch from idea to idea without really finishing any of them to the standard required to make them successful because each idea seems better than the last, and there is a never ending stream of "good ideas".
Just pick something and work on it until it's successful or dead. Forget about "best".
- dhh 17y agoThe thinking is work on the best idea that you have right now. Not the best one you haven't even come up with yet. That's not going to be very helpful.
- raysinbran 17y agoThat's a good point. Even if you think you're only making license plates, someone will catch on to how good you are if you do it really well. And who knows, maybe your license plates are just what the world desperately wants right now.
