The difference between scalable wins and one-offs is knowing why it worked and being able to repeat it. Can you be a human being and connect with other human beings and their needs, and help them move forward?

The author is right; you want clear signals, not noisey ones. If you're looking for the light but keep seeing shadows you need to turn around.

The same is true for people who launch on product hunt, and get 50 signups. Success? If you're selling $1K deals, yes. But if it's just for $4, or free... do you have PMF?

but to be fair, if you can get a small group of people engaged, and you can tease out why/how, it usually stands that others will respond too. But not everyone will need it, and those that may need it may not be in market for it.
