MVPs aren't a bad idea but you have to make sure you're doing then right. Have a target customer segment, have a clear objective, build the smallest version of your end goal that actually provides value but won't break the bank when you realize how much of it was actually wrong. Then listen to the complaints and feedback, cut out the parts that don't solve for a customer need and deliver another one. Rinse and repeat a few times and then put real effort into the things that you've identified as providing customer value. Don't feel bad about getting wrong, as long as you weren't excessively wasteful along the way.
