Easily, ensure it works. If you read the book 'The Lean Startup' by Eric Ries, you will understand exactly what to do before launching your product to the market. i explained the book in this post u can read it https://www.linkedin.com/posts/a...

stepping into the founder's shoes for the first time is a wild ride, full of 'will this even work?' moments. here's the thing tho – nobody really knows what will work, but every successful founder was once a first-timer too. the key? embrace the unknown like it's your dance partner. find joy in learning and treat every setback as a clue to what’s next. surround yourself with people who get the struggle, and remember, every big thing started as a small, uncertain step. keep stepping, keep learning, and let curiosity be your fuel. you've got this!

Fail fast, learn from it and build experience. Eventually you'll figure out what works for you.
1. Research your market. You don't need to overdo your research, but don't go in blind either. 2. Give yourself a hard deadline. Psychologically this gives you a sense of safety. At most you'll only throw away a fixed amount of time, if things don't work out. When we were building our SaaS product, we followed Basecamp's Shape Up methodology. You can read about it here: https://basecamp.com/shapeup It worked really well for us. We blogged about it here: https://www.curiouslab.io/blog/i... If you need help staying motivated, please don't hesitate to reach out. Stay positive. You've got this!
