When
you're deep into your startup, it's an amazing world of constantly
meeting people who inspire different ideas that spawn in you.
These
ideas shape your next move. The road I'm on must certainly be the
correct road, because it's filled with the most interesting people
I've ever met. Almost all of them have come to me by social
networks.
I arrange
meetings with some of them in real life that live in my city, and
they are ever so beautiful. To see the shinning light of a startup in
someone's eyes is like seeing sunlight cut the sky. The frustration
that comes with building a startup always has this beautiful light
overpowering it to carry the builder to the next level.
For my
startup, DigiThin. I think I'm now leaving all the beginning
struggles, and I'm standing in front of the door of traction. It's a
fucking giant door! It's super heavy, yet I'm strong enough to push
it open. I've got the door cracked, and now I will push my startup
into the world of Angel's and VC's.
Once my
traction starts getting numbers that add up to impressive, well, a
new set of amazing people will start talking to me. : - ) I can't
wait to hear what they say. Especially the ones on my mother fucking list of People Who Don't Believe In Your Idea!
You see,
I'm on the path, and I'm not stopping, because I've always believed
in the idea, but not always in myself. I also know that the idea has
not fully developed. My idea isn't the answer, it's the instrument to
get users to chime in and create the product that makes people happy.
My idea is not the final product. The final product is the creation
of both the founder and the users. It's the only way to make the best
gifts for humanity.

Keep building your startup!
