This is a typical example of over-generalization. The author believes because he is successful, his approach to success must be correct or optimal. The truth is that almost all ventures will end reaching his level of success if you simply don’t give up, and apply consciousness to your work. You’ll likely have to pivot as you learn more about your chosen market, but if you’re smart and persistent you’ll eventually figure something out. Instead of shutting out criticism early on (like the author suggests), it’s better to listen and just throw out the unhelpful parts. I’ve actually found that investors are great at pointing out legitimate weaknesses in your business model, but they typically overstate the lethality of such weaknesses.
