It's not 1 great idea, it's thousands of good ideas, more or less on demand.
“Mr. [Founder] is new to the business of having ideas, and so when he has one, he becomes proud of himself for having it. He has not yet had enough ideas to unflinchingly discard those that are beautiful in some aspects and impractical in others; he has not yet acquired confidence in his own ability to think of better ideas as he requires them. What we are seeing here is not Mr. [Founder]'s best idea, I fear, but rather his only idea.” --https://hpmor.com/chapter/78 https://hpmor.com/chapter/78
- TuringNYC 3y agoI met a "Business Co-Founder" once who cornered me at an industry dinner and literally said to me with a straight face -- "very few people in the world have the product vision I have, very few people can see 10 years into the future" The person had never run a business, never been a product manager, never built a product, could not code. I almost choked on my coffee but tried to be cordial. Confidence is a hell of a drug.
