Let’s be real for a second guys, Starting something is exciting… For about 2 weeks. Then comes the silence. No sales. No traction. No applause. Just you… wondering if anyone cares. Here’s what I’ve noticed: It’s rarely lack of talent that stops people. It’s doubt. Comparison. Overthinking. Waiting to be “ready.” So I’m curious….. What has been the hardest part of building something so far? Not the highlight, Not the fantasy. The real part that makes you want to quit. • Getting your first customer? • Staying consistent? • Fear of putting yourself out there? • Not knowing what to focus on? • Balancing it with life? No polished answers needed. Just honesty. You might be surprised how many people here are battling the exact same thing. Let’s talk our minds and situations 👇

For me it has been knowing what to focus on and not second guessing every move. There is so much advice, so many strategies, and so many people saying different things that it is easy to feel busy but not actually moving forward. Consistency sounds simple until you are working with no immediate results. Showing up when nothing seems to be happening is the real test. I have had moments where I wondered if I was building something real or just pushing into empty space. What keeps me going is treating it like reps, not results. Keep showing up, keep improving one piece at a time, and let the momentum catch up later.

@Godwin Alozie I appreciate that, truly. What helped me stop second guessing was realizing that constant switching was giving me the feeling of progress without any real progress. I was busy, but not building depth anywhere. Once I noticed that pattern, I made a simple rule for myself to stay with one direction long enough to actually collect real feedback, not just emotions. I also started measuring effort instead of outcomes at first. Did I show up today. Did I execute what I planned. Did I improve one small piece. That kept me grounded when results were slow. It is still a work in progress, but committing to fewer things and doing them consistently changed a lot for me.
