NOTE

Fail Fast, Validate Quickly

To minimize the chances of failure when launching new ideas, focus on creating a quick minimum viable product (MVP) that can be validated in just a few days. This approach avoids lengthy development processes and fosters efficiency. Maintaining a checklist for evaluating ideas helps streamline decision-making and keeps project selection aligned with risk assessment. However, it's crucial to stay aware of the balance between thorough analysis and the risk of overthinking, which can lead to abandoning potentially lucrative ideas before even trying them. Continually generating and revisiting a pool of ideas can spark creativity and innovation in the development process.
