I think the article hit the nail on an important element - Vision.
Yes, Larry and Sergey created something simple. But they had a vision what they want to do with it and the potential of what they were working on.
Same thing with Zuckerberg. Yes, he created a simple networking site for Harvard and but he also had a vision. Most of them were recorded in his diary, i.e photo sharing etc.
If you create a small product without a vision, it will remain a small product and may not go anywhere.
But a small product with a great vision have the potential to take you to the next level.
Now a huge clunky product with an enormous vision? That is a recipe for disappointment.
- newchimedes 16y agoWhile vision is important I do agree with the article how sometimes you discover the vision by doing small things. Facebook I don't believe was any more visionary when they first started. It first started as a knockoff of hotornot (if memory serves me correct). But by doing that project he realized and got on to the path that would lead to Facebook. As much as I would like to wake up one day with THE billion dollar idea... I don't think that's how it happens. I think for most people it's about doing things and adjusting as you get more data to figure out what direction to go. But if you don't start and worry instead about chasing after the huge problem to solve...you might just end up waiting too long and passing on opportunities.
