This is from "Anything You Want" by Derek Sivers. Take what he says with a pinch of salt. He stumbled across an idea with high PMF, so a lot of what he writes is due to survivorship bias and luck. If people are knocking your door down for your product you can afford to make mistakes. It also doesn't mean your advice is worth much since there's little guarantee you can repeat your success.
