Since you're talking about business specifically, then no it's not the best piece of advice imo. There are plenty wonderful things and works of art that nobody really wants to buy or pay money for.<p>You could make a really great website with a lot of cool animations, but if it serves no utility then people will probably not pay for it. Maybe a 1-month subscription or a one time payment to take a tour of the website, but that's probably going to be it. So it's not sustainable on the long-term, or in other words, it's probably not a good business.<p>"Make something people want" (YC's mantra) seems much more fitting for business intentions.
The best advice is for someone who needs to hear it.<p>My favorite piece of advice comes from my physics teacher in high school: work hard, play harder.
Does ordering something from Amazon and having it reliably show up qualify as wonderful?<p>How about AWS lambda+DynamoDB+S3, a system that allows you to run 10 fairly complex web sites for 6 bucks a month AND reliably stay operational with almost zero maintenance effort?<p>>adjective<p>>inspiring delight, pleasure, or admiration; extremely good; marvelous.<p>>"they all think she's wonderful"
For creative pursuits (including technical and otherwise) I think it's a good principle. I'm sure I'm not the only person who wrote this same sentence down again this week as a reminder.<p>Businesses probably need to consider how much money customers will actually pay for it, and whether it is a good value compared to alternatives.
