Do you agree with this?

I like this

#7

Don?t believe that the exception is the rule. This is called the Twitter Effect. It goes like this, ?We?re focusing on usage and eyeballs like Twitter. We?re not that concerned about revenue right now. Look how valuable everyone thinks Twitter is. We?ll be just like that.? Twitter is the exception. Facebook is the exception. YouTube is the exception. There, I listed all the exceptions. Everyone else needs revenue asap, or you will #fail.

I am not sure I agree with #1 though

Don?t worry, be crappy. Perfectionism, first of all, is an illusion. Nothing is perfect. Even worse, perfection stands in the way of revenue and truly learning what customers think because nothing is in their hands yet. When your product is ?good enough? (but not ?perfect?), ship it, and see what happens.

The "build it and optimize later" approach might work if you're the first person doing a particular business model but in adult..... good luck with that cuz you'll see your lunch get eaten in front of you--QUICKLY. So always start with your best shot. "Good enough" might not cut it.
