Last year I shipped six tiny products instead of one big one, and the data settled an argument I used to have with myself. Four got almost no traction. One made beer money. One found a real vein and now pays my rent. If I had bet the whole year on any single idea, the odds say I would have picked one of the four that flopped. Small bets are not a lack of focus. They are how you buy more lottery tickets in a game where you cannot predict the winner. Ship small, watch what pulls, then pour your focus into the one thing the market actually reached for. Validation is a portfolio, not a prayer.
