We Need To Reengineer Companies To Focus

The Grim Reality Is That Most Start-ups Fail. Most New Products Are Not Successful. Yet The Story Of Perseverance, Creative Genius, And Hard Work Persists.

I Would Say, As An Entrepreneur Everything You Do - Every Action You Take In Product Development, In Marketing, Every Conversation You Have, Everything You Do - Is An Experiment. If You Can Conceptualize Your Work Not As Building Features, Not As Launching Campaigns, But As Running Experiments, You Can Get Radically More Done With Less Effort.

You Know How People Always Talk About How Vision Is The Key To Entrepreneurship And Perseverance And Really Seeing What Other People Don't See? We Can Actually Redeem A Fair Amount Of That Folk Wisdom.

Nowadays People Talk About Paypal's Founders As Prescient Geniuses Who Would Inevitably Change The World. It Was, However, Not So Obvious That Paypal Would Taste Its First Major Success By Helping People Sell Beanie Babies On Ebay. But They Had A Vision, A Hope, And The Perseverance To Try Multiple Iterations Until They Got It Right.

The Hardest Part Is The Grueling Work Of Constantly Being Wrong.
