Ask HN: How do you deal with an excess of opportunities?

2 points by Lucadg ↗ HN
After 16 years in the Airbnb space, 4 business models (all working, none gone wildly successful) I find myself now in front of several hard choices. I have 7 different business models I could push, 3 of them working, 4 only ideas. I am pretty confident most of them are viable and could be scaled. They are all extremely sexy, at least for me. I don't know what to do: choose one and drop the others? Or launch several startups with different people and me in the position of co-founder with limited day to day involvement? It's the first time I've found myself in such a position, I hope you guys can help.

Think long term.
Pick whichever will get you paid first. Revenue and profits trump all other factors. Nothing is sexier than $$$!
iirc statisticly any of those 4 ideas will not be better then the best of the 3 you already tested. and one startup is already enough work.
