It's important to learn to pivot as well. I've had a website that only really started getting any traction once I built a facebook group around it. Being unable to monetize on facebook left a bad taste in my mouth, with a little bit of anger as well. Why shouldn't I be able to profit off a near 1M member group I spent years building?

So I've pivoted again. I've watched what works within the group, what the members want, and my current focus is implementing a completely new platform OFF facebook that allows me to provide the same features but without Facebook's limitations.

Focus on a single product or feature yes, to start, but don't give up too early on your dreams.
