My point is that it is a bad point among successful startups, not that it is a bad point among startups in general. Looking at startups in general isn't particularly interesting for an entrepreneur compared to looking at those that are particularly successful (or fail in epic flames). Doing what you want is a good way to make macro decisions. Should I try to be a dentist or a programmer? I like programming, I'll do that. Unless your psychological makeup is perfect, it doesn't do quite as well for micro decisions. Should I eat that chocolate cake? Well, I want to. Should I go to work today? Nah, I'm tired. Should I drink that next beer? Why the hell not? I guess it comes down to that I should have been clearer in drawing the distinctions I was trying to make.
