This is from "Anything You Want" by Derek Sivers.
Take what he says with a pinch of salt. He stumbled across an idea with high PMF, so a lot of what he writes is due to survivorship bias and luck.
If people are knocking your door down for your product you can afford to make mistakes. It also doesn't mean your advice is worth much since there's little guarantee you can repeat your success.

Ideas don't have product-market fit. Products do.
And for your product to fit the market takes an incredible amount of execution. Especially in tech startups!
