Another model I regularly refer to when advising people on projects to pursue. Quickly written—may come back and try to clarify this later.
I think it’s generally really important for people to be inside view excited about their projects. By which I mean, they think the project is good based on their own model of how the project will interact with the world.
I think this is important for a few reasons. The first obvious one is that it’s generally much more motivating to work on things you thing are good.
The second, and more interesting reason, is that if you are not inside view excited I think (generally speaking) you don’t actually understand why your project will succeed. Which makes it hard to execute well on your project. When people aren’t inside view excited about their project I get the sense they either have the model and don’t actually believe the project is good, or they are just deferring to others on how good it is which makes it hard to execute.
