The Sam Walton point is an interesting one. Unfortunately, there's no easy framework as to how to approach the early days of building a product. For example, the best strategy for most SaaS companies today is to start in a niche because there will be less competition within that specific niche which allows you to nail a workflow, get a bunch of user love and then leverage that love to grow efficiently to other customers/users and eventually into other workflows. That being said, if you're starting a video company today, the best strategy is probably to be as loud and everywhere as possible as the number of companies that exist and are getting started in the space is growing very fast. So likely the best strategy is all speed ahead and trying to assemble the plane as it's trying to take off.
As with all things, it's hard to say what specifically caused success but you can have a loose framework from past startups that can be applied to various scenarios and market context to determine the path forward.
Okay so you'll want to watch About Time. Your idea about babies and time travel is in there. Good movie too ;)
