Why aren't you starting to build your start-up yet? Vulnerable session

Question

For those trying to help and share solutions, appreciate it if you could try to be more detailed and share your personal story/ struggle, that would demonstrate empathy and connect better.

Not just 'Try to save more money' or 'You can learn to code by yourself'. While they are true, a lot of potential founders lack emotional courage, not rational solutions, bonus points if you experience and overcome the struggle firsthand.

Show me your vulnerability and courage!

Accepted Answer

It's sometimes discouraging when you'll think of an idea for a startup, actually worked hard to start/develop on it, then you'll learn that someone thought of that idea long before you did, and they actually did much better than what you're doing.

@nanceyneda I'm sorry to hear that. I can imagine the realization and the feeling of being lost, uncertain of what to do next after the discovery. You are strong, you can come back stronger!

I'll start. I'm a non-technical person, I can't get a developer/ freelance to complete my MVP. Tried to learn to code, which took 2 months, and only manage to finish the basic of Javascript. I feel like it's going to take a long time until I can start making something by myself.
