Being an entrepreneur is hard

You're given two opposing directives:
1) Manifest your vision, even when nobody else believes in you
2) Listen to the market and adapt to what it tells you

When do you choose option 1 over 2? 

Nobody can tell you deterministically -- it's an art. Respect to anyone who takes this path

How I think about it:
1. do your vision, who cares what others think
2. when it works or doesn’t work in the market say, “oh that’s interesting” with child like wonder, adapt 
3. survive and do it again

No, do it because the world needs this more than I need this

Do it because it’s fun
Do it because I’d rather do nothing else
Do it because I was built for this
Do it because the world needs this as much as I need this

Step 1: Be bold. Step 2: Stay curious. Step 3: Repeat. Simple, but genius.
