Focus vs diversification. There is no silver bullet here. Realizing that any successful business take years of work makes me more conscious in choosing what idea I want to experiment.

In general, I learned: experiments a lot. But, within the same domain. The technologies and experiences are building on each other.

Here’s a portion of what I wrote for myself:

I will ask myself these questions every time I am evaluating an idea.

1. Do I want to be the king of [idea]?
2. What size of the business do I want to build?
3. What is the viral aspect of the idea?
4. What are the requirements to build the version 1.0?
5. What is the one thing that I understand that my competitors don’t?

The purpose of these questions is to evaluate an idea properly before I decide to commit my whole life (and my team) into it.
