Is success also not be an option if you haven't visualized it?

If you don't have a plan for revenue much less profitability or acquisition, I'd say that you haven't 'visualized success' the way you would do so for failure in this parable — on the basis of not dying, not traction.

Given the (IMO, correct) disdain for business plans and worship of 'making something people want', there seems to be a big inconsistency here.
