Love this "wrong project" concept. Have any blog posts or articles about this?

Most of us can see when other entrepreneurs are working on a project that doesn't reflect their core strengths. It's much more difficult to identify when we're the ones going down the wrong path.

I didn't consciously realize it, but I suppose this is a lot of what PG talks about in "Why Smart People Have Bad Ideas" http://www.paulgraham.com/bronze.html
