I Can Do ‘AWESOME’ All By Myself

I have always made excuses when to comes to things in my life. I am huge procrastinator I admit it. It has hurt in almost all aspects of life (school, professional,business). Upon recently It was about to hurt me in my life again. In my first actual project FB, I wanted to start and get the horse going but of course I had excuse. “Well, I can’t code and my designing skills is even worse”. So I decided to make a post on eLance looking for someone to code for me. Always this was a step in the right direction, I was still not doing anything. Just waiting and wanting ‘what if’.

Then I don’t quite know what happened, I just had enough. I have been in this online world for 5 years counting. I just got sick of nothing happening, sick of procrastinating  and sick of seeing other young/er enterpreuers strifing ahead of me. Leaving me with nothing to show.

So I just started coding again, nothing amazing happened overnight. But I am coming around nicely and as I reach more complexed features I’ll seek help.

Then I saw one article posted on Techcrunch which just made everything make sense. Check out the article here.

At the exact moment you had your idea, ten other people had the exact same idea. There was just something in the environment that made it the right time for folks to think that one up. The race has already begun! Who’s going to execute first? Who’s going to execute best? If you want to waste nine months trying to raise VC money for that idea, great. But six months in, you’re gonna cry when you see someone else put out that same product you’re pitching me right now. Like I said, forget everything else and just get your product out the door. Now.

This came at the perfect time, as even before I started any coding/ development. I was getting caught on the whole partnering aspect of the life. I contacted a company as I was considering to partner with them, but that would only cause more distraction. Plus I got my answer to that right here:

Second, like I said, forget everything else and just get your product out the door. No office. No phone system. No hiring. No press. No legal muck. No raising money. No looking for partnerships (who’s going to partner with you anyway?)

Then before you know it, I got another article which almost hit the spot. Which can be found here.

My favorite part of course:

1st Time Founder Guy:  How much time should I spend on my business plan.

Me: None.

1st Time Founder Guy:  What do you mean?  Don’t I need to have a plan?

Me: No, you just need to have a direction.  Get out there fast, make mistakes, and learn from them.

So, with all that said FB is coming along slowly but surely. As I purchase the domain name, i’ll disclose as i’m so over the secrecy and all jazz when it comes to products launching….
