How to win even if your product is failing

Setting out on a new solo-project after many years working full time in larger organizations I want to make sure to not put every egg in the same basket. Betting everything on having one product being a financial success is risky. I tried to come up with some guiding rules and a strategy to make sure it would be a personal win, no matter if the product will generate revenue or not. I put down my thoughts in an article on Indiehackers https://www.indiehackers.com/product/hue-log/how-to-win-even-when-failing--Nbxo3HHERfPgaL_BgM- I'm super interested in hearing if you (especially as a solo/indie maker) thing about the risk/reward and balance between commitment and potential success of product. Got any guiding rules of your own?
