big disagree here too many founders not knowing when to quit and waste their time on a project that would never work diversity of projects builds the product launching muscle

I tend to agree with you, but the simultaneity of moonshots I think can be a problem. Commit fully to launching something and then pivoting is totally fine imo

or just launch new features / build on your current product? agree on the product launching muscle bit if you’re obsessed but objective you will leave when it’s the right time

Creative output isn’t infinite. Most of us get a couple hours max of truly high-leverage work a day. If you dilute that across 2-3 “big ideas,” you’re not multiplying impact you’re just dividing momentum.

I’m more with @farcasteradmin.eth than @tike here Moonshot projects, ala Elon, not many of us are. But knowing when to pivot - by launching many - also super important. This is why VCs back previous founders too. See slack, flickr, or even suhail doshi (mixpanel), or Jason calacanis (pivot king, does many things at oke go). And doing a few things at one go? Not a bad thing. See gumroad. Larger orgs that are led by founders also do a lot more than just one thing. Enterprise? So nothing is stopping someone laying down bricks to become the next Oracle or Microsoft. Focus, but also know when to experiment and throw energy behind it. Isn’t that how we got Gmail, and subway transit stuff in google maps? :)

YESS!! They should know pivoting is necessary.... what's the purpose of creating smthing that's entirely useless for your consumers... They should learn smthing from Lean Principles...

people will face an obstacle and think we are all the same just because he gave up elon comparison is just average, elon was just an investor in most of his companies, not a one solo founder.. anyway, keep building
