"they can kill it if only they had a"
Nine times out of ten, if you find yourself thinking in this pattern, you're making excuses not to start.
Find a way to get started anyway. Do something. Make a mockup out of pieces of paper. Find and talk to potential customers.
There are things you can do now, and they're usually things you really should do before bringing on a developer, or taking investment, or whatever you're blocking yourself with.
If you get to "if only" and stop, you may be in love with the idea of being a successful startup founder, but you're finding excuses to avoid what it means to actually become a startup founder.
Or a jazz musician. Novelist. Whatever.
- solistice 13y agoYou do really get that in every single human pursuit though. I could be so sucessful with girls only if I had a better pad/ more charisma/ more money / more hair in places it belongs. 99 out of 100 of these things will be just phony excuses, you could frankly do without. For example with hair, look at this guy: http://www.absoluteability.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/05/neil-strauss-before-and-after.jpg http://www.absoluteability.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/05/ne... Hair was really not his problem, and he realized that.
