> you need to start climbing by grinding through ideas even if they have lots of problems. The best ideas typically have a lot of problems (if it didn't, someone else would have ran with it before you). The secret to picking "the right" idea to work on, in my opinion, is picking an idea that 1) is hard and has lots of problems, and 2) your background, skills, and experience give you a unique ability to solve those problems. Knowing that you're working on a problem that you're uniquely poised to solve can give you the grit / confidence needed to see the idea through.
