Question about small bets

[benny]

Hey guys. Could someone give me their take on the purpose(s) of small bets? From what I gather, they serve a few purposes:

1. They allow you to confirm or disconfirm that you enjoy working in alignment with your passion

2. They allow you to see if that particular project is something the market wants - that people are willing to buy

 

Am I missing anything?

I think they can help you come up with more ideas for the future.  You might have insights after you do a small bet that sparks something else.  Or after you do several small bets you might start seeing a pattern and combine them or something like that.
