Bored is sexy — once a thing works, run up the score

Once a thing works ($1k/month, three pre-orders, anything), the instinct to chase the next novel idea is the enemy. Run up the score on what already has signal. AppSumo's wins came at year seven, not year one — boring consistency beats sexy pivots. The compounding only happens if you stay in the boring middle long enough.
