1/ Everyone wants to be right. Everyone wants their idea to win. But here's the truth, if your idea is truly different, there's a good chance it might fail. 2/ The only way to know what works is to experiment. You can’t predict success, you can only test your way to it. 3/ Don’t quit your job just yet. But build the muscle to work on your ideas after hours. Learn to build, market, sell, scale. 4/ Think of every idea as a bet. Some hit, most don’t. But if you never place those bets, you’ll never win anything. 5/ So, test. Ship. Market. Get feedback. If something shows signs of life, double down. If it doesn’t, ditch it. No hard feelings. 6/ You don’t have to marry an idea. Try one, then the next. Run them in parallel if you can. Keep moving. Keep learning. 7/ Failing is okay. Especially if you’re in your early 20s, this is your sandbox decade. You’ll either win or walk away with skills that compounds. 8/ In a fast moving world, if your idea has legs, you’ll know soon enough. But that clarity only comes after you start. Not before. 9/ So stop overthinking. Start building. Run more experiments. Do this for sometime and you’ll become a completely different person. More skilled. Sharper. Resilient with a mindset that’s rare. In a world where most people hesitate, you’ll be the one who executes, learns fast, and eventually wins. Because when you're placing asymmetrical bets, you don't need everything to work. Just one win can change everything. You don’t need permission. You need execution. You don’t need to be right. You need to test more than you talk. That's how things click. So from now on, alongside my day job, I’ll be working on the ideas I’ve had in mind for a while. No big promises, just consistent effort with this mindset. Let’s see where it leads in the next few months.

Most early-stage founders don’t need a VC. They need this. You actually need 100 users who’d scream if your product disappeared. So for all idea-stage founders: 👉 Validate the pain first. 👉 Then validate your insight. 👉 Then test your way to 10

Ignorance really is bliss for founders. If you know too much, you’ll see every flaw, overthink every risk and never start up. The naive ones just build, fail, pivot, survive and sometimes win (even with the craziest ideas). Your odds are zero if y

Y Combinator doesn’t invest in “ideas.” They invest in momentum. If your startup grows 10% weekly, you don’t need a warm intro. You need to keep growing.
