I just blogged about something similar today called the Failure Fallacy (http://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=4444523).

We are making it hard on ourselves to be successful because of the ideas and types of businesses we are drawn to create.

We jump into crazy ideas with no provable business model or customer when we could experiment and apply customer validation to our potential product. Jumping in like a crazy person is glorified in our community because we love watching others do wild things and hope it will help us be more wild.

I want this to change. More people should be running successful businesses, though they might not be instagrams. I want to see your unique touch on so many tired products and ideas.
