Jessica is writing a talk about things startup founders have to get right in the earliest stages. To test her list, we tried to imagine a founder who got every one of them wrong. It was remarkably easy to. In startups, mistakes are correlated with other mistakes.
There are mistakes you want to avoid in art too, though the list is probably shorter than in startups. For example, it is probably an unrecoverable mistake to be derivative.

idk on that one, Andy Warhol did pretty well and his work is blatantly derivative.

Look at how well reboots and remakes are (including the works of Shakespeare many of which are remakes in common understanding of the term). Being derivative is more accurately a key to success. Most of the best stories are the result of minor improvement over multiple authors.
