We're going to win if we just keep going, right?
In my opinion, compounding does not care if we're doing one thing or multiple things, because if we're getting positive signals from an idea, we're not going to be distracted by other ideas.
The distraction is a signal that something isn't right with this idea.
I think they should try to find a customer first, a paying customer on any idea.
Just steal an idea, honestly, like a burger restaurant.
People try to think of a new idea.
New ideas are more likely to fail than anything because it's new.
I want an idea with precedent, right?
I want a roadmap of someone that's gone before me and done that.
And then I just want to copy that.
So I think that's what people should focus on is taking another idea that meshes with their background.
Maybe like their college major had something to do with it or their previous job or their passion or something.
Some idea that they've seen out there in the market that looks interesting to them and they should try to find a customer there.
And they'll learn so much more in the effort of finding a customer than they would in the effort of trying to research that idea forever.
That's an excellent question.
So that answer for me is different than for others.
For me, if two weeks have elapsed and I'm still thinking about it, like I'm going to bed, I'm on a walk, and I'm just like,
there's something, there's really something to that.
Because I come across a ton of ideas on a daily basis.
And so that idea has to compete with all kinds of others coming into my brain, right?
