Every idea doesn’t have to change the world as long as it’s changing something. A problem that many entrepreneur’s run into is that they focus on platform instead of product. Before they have a line of code written, they are thatching roofs on castles in the clouds, dreaming about how their product is going to change the course of human events. The result is that instead of building in stages, refining the idea, and making changes based on customer demand — they create a mish-mash of ideas and features all in the hopes that the market will understand the divine mandate that their product seeks to fulfill.
