Finding good idea is easy - good execution is hard.
- wcarss 16y agoWell, then, is any decent idea really good enough? We tirelessly shoot holes in our plans, and lose motivation, becoming sure of failure. Should we just run with whatever our hands are on at some certain point?
- vgurgov 16y agoWell if your definition of "decent" is same is mine than YES! Any decent idea is good enough! Any! Just take it! And do it with dedication and love! And remember that long term plans are BS in our industry! You kno for me the biggest fear factor was always competition. I remember how i was scared to start my first company. Back then I earned my first $100 or something by writing code. That was enough motivation for me to quit my well paid job and start a sw development company. I remember how i was afraid of competitors. There were thousands companies doing same shit! And I was no better in any means! Ffd 3-4 years it was business that make me what i call rich enough(not FU money, but still very well stable income and nice 5-digit bank account) Now every time i start something new i still afraid of competition. Hey there is an app/site for anything in the web, how can I be better? But i always think about my own history, i think about facebook after myspace, google after yahoo, microsoft after ibm etc. If you are smart enough -you can do it, just start workin f..ng hard!
