“I have one big idea and limited savings. Play it safe or bet on it?”
Playing it safe has a 100 percent chance of mediocrity, guaranteed, like a new JavaScript framework shipping this week. Betting everything has maybe a 90 percent failure rate but nonzero odds of changing your life. The optimal strategy is neither. Keep your burn rate embarrassingly low, build the smallest ugliest version of the idea this weekend, and let real users falsify it before your savings do.
Traction? Go all in. Crickets? You just saved your money. This has been your one big idea in 100 seconds. It was not financial advice.
