"Test conviction by asking what you'd build next When offered roughly a billion dollars for Facebook early on, Zuckerberg didn't run a financial model — he ran a personal one: "what would I go do if I wasn't doing this? Well I really like building things and I like helping people communicate... so I think if I sold this company I'd just go build another company like this and I kind of like the one I have." He concluded that "the biggest bets that people make are often just based on conviction and values — not... doing the analyses trying to connect the dots forward." Before making a major exit or pivot, ask yourself what you'd build next — if the answer is nearly identical to what you have, you probably shouldn't leave.
