I think you are 100% right, and I was not trying to imply that entrepreneurs should explore adding products/services, as resources tend to be VERY tight in the early stages of most businesses. I was trying to explore the way everyone but entrepreneurs tends to mitigate risk, and how to think theoretically about whether there is an alternative for founders. Hi Mariam,
