founder’s journal #1
It doesn’t matter if you’re starting a blog or founding a business, starting early can be terrifying. What if your product is not that good? What if you fuck up? What if you get stuck? What if you run out of ideas? What if you’re lost?
But the sooner you start, the sooner you will (1) figure out what you don’t know, (2) redirect your learning, and (3) conceptualize your lessons.
Starting a business or a blog means signing a commitment to show your work publicly. A commitment to be criticized. A commitment to continuous failing, learning, and bettering.
For founders or bloggers-wanna-be, the trick is: instead of focusing on what you will do to avoid failure, ask yourself what you will learn.
There’s no better motivation to learn than a genuine interest to become better at what you are currently bad at.
