Is it OK to start with your best idea when starting your first business?


Many of us are Sw Engineers but we are still in the process to launch our first business product by our own.

Of course it makes sense to always go with your best idea, but we don't want to waste what we consider our "best idea" because of stupid mistakes that could have been solved if we had more experience.

What I mean is: Does it make sense to start with simpler ideas in order to gain experience & not making so many execution mistakes due to inexperience in future more ambitious ideas?

Why would you want to start with anything less than your "best"?

It will likely turn out that not only is it not the "best" idea, it's probably pretty dang lousy

Try to implement as many ideas as you have time for

Hopefully, one (or more) will work out

Good luck

Go with the idea you think has the best chance of success.

Otherwise you're only setting yourself up for failure.

I think you have to, but if it doesn't work out, unlike the difficult second album, all the ideas (songs) you rejected can be tried at your leisure.
