Prioritize shit people will pay for

I found a note on my desktop from a conversation I had with Jonathan Davis to help him figure out development priorities for his recruiting platform. It's pretty simple, but I think this framework applies to many startups. 

What should I build?

1. Shit people will pay for
2. Shit you create because you'll lose paying customers
3. Shit that people MIGHT pay for someday
4. You think it's cool

In practice, you hardly ever get to work on priorities 3 and 4 - that's just the way it goes. This priority framework is to help you say no to those distractions.

But then that's just old man Don's weakness for cattle; he can't look a steer in the face without falling in love with him. Now, I've received before when by throwing out one half the stock offered, you couldn't get as uniform a bunch of beeves as those are. But you go right ahead, Tom, and be sure that every hoof you accept will dress five hundred pounds at Fort Buford. I'll simply sit around and clerk and help you count and give you a good chance to make a reputation."

i would place in number 1 space, shit people have paid for. this means, go find a customer to pay for the first few things, go find unhappy customers who paid for something they thought they would get, but couldn't.

But isn't it frustrating that you would have more fun doing 3 and especially 4? Guess that's just how businesses are.
