I don't think MJ really covered this topic in his book. Say for instance you follow his commands CENTS or CENTS and your idea fails. How much time do you give it? There have been times where companies have gotten a great products, think Turbo Graphic 16 and the Sony touchscreen phone, but I guess the market wasn't ready for it.... When should you exit out and work on your other ideas? Should you have more than 1 idea going? I apologize if it has been covered in the book, just can't recall right now..
