Every startup starts with a thought. The thought in your head, that, wow, that's a great idea! You wander around your house, thinking you just thought up the million dollar idea! Oh yeah! your're amazing! You know what, someone, somewhere is already ahead of you, and they are, already building it.
Ahh Fuck! How Can That Be? You Were Sure No One Else, Could Have Ever Thought Of It
I used to think that. The easy answer is. Just type your name into Google, and see how many people have the same name as you? You thought you were unique, and surely no one else has the same rare name as you have, but there it is, 400 John Doe's, or Jana Monroe's! Ah fuck!
The Same Applies To Ideas.
If you thought of it, it's most likely been thought of by someone else. Sorta sad. But here is the thing, don't let it stop you if someone is already doing it. Because competition is the name of the game. The company that builds the gift, that works better for the user, wins! If you are a startup builder, you know, Myspace was before Facebook. Well, we all know what happened there. The person who didn't give up, even when their idea was already on the market, was the winner. The BIG FUCKING WINNER!
I Have A Great Idea Right Now, But I Know Someone Surly Is Already Building It.
It could be out on the market right now. But I know, it's not big yet, cause I have not seen it. Still, I'm not giving up. I'm not going to stop building because someone else is already doing it. Why? Because mine is laced with my ideas, mine is better, mine is totally fucking awesome. I won't let my competitor intimidate me! Because they are not my competition. It is I, who is my competition. I am the one, who takes the idea out of the mind, and builds it. I am the one who lived in the problem, and I am the one who solved it. I don't think about the competition, yet I am happy they exist. Because they validate there is a need for the problem.
When You See Your Idea In Real Life.
If you gave up when you realized your idea was already being done, then your not a startup builder. A startup builder goes after the great idea in their head. A startup builder ignores the ever sinking feelings, that you are being crushed by companies with more seed funding, series A, B or don't fuck with me funding. Yeah a beautiful startup, ignores all the benefits they see their competition getting, while they are suffering, struggling, and building a damn fucking awesome gift for humanity. Yeah you! Don't worry about the fact others are already building it. Don't worry if you have no money. Don't worry, cause you are following the nag in your head, and that nag, has more power then all the blessing you think your competition got.
Yea, You, The Startup Builder
If the nag, plus your idea equals, it's haunting your thoughts, then don't give up. No matter all the doubts. No matter all the hardships. If you give up, then you will never know, that your idea, was the best idea. Push forward in all the craziness. Cause those who do ~ find the minds nag to be ~ Mind blowing!
