Start small. Delight completely.

Fast growth comes from overwhelming the smallest possible audience with a 
product or service that so delights that they insist that their friends and 
colleagues use it. And hypergrowth is a version of the same thing, except those 
friends and colleagues quickly become even bigger fans, and tell even more 
people.

Often, we get sidetracked when we forget about "smallest possible." If you make 
the audience you're initially serving too big, you will dilute the very thing 
you set out to make, avoid critical mass, and compromise the magic of what 
you're building. You'll make average stuff for average people instead of 
something powerful for the few.

By "smallest possible" I don't mean, "too small." I mean the smallest number 
that eventually leads to the kernel of conversation that enables you to grow.

[Minimum Viable Audience, a great term, originally coined by Brian Clark.]
