You know, it's that unhopefullness of others that brings me down. They can't see the vision in my head or on our two websites. I've failed at explaining it. Well, I haven't really, it's just that it hasn't begun to grow. It hasn't taken shape much at all. It's not just us the startup builders, it's the people who are going to use it. We need them in the master puzzle we are putting together. Otherwise it's not anything. Otherwise it gets words of hopelessness shot at it.
This is something I had to deal with in my last build. Yes it hurts. It makes all kinds of thoughts of self doubt spring up and then I begin to wonder if I should jump ship and forget about this build. Forget about startups, forget about making something for people to use, something that will make their digital world better.
Literally I want to curl up in a ball and Netflix my weekend away ~
Two days later positive feedback was given and it seems the path I am choosing right now to get traction is the one I should stay on. Albeit it's not the only traction channel I'm working on. I do have all the social. But the social isn't so promising for us at this time. My best guess as to why that is, is because paying for social is the way to go, but there are no funds. So this startup can only use free social, and well, maybe I'm not good at using that. Most likely that is true. I suppose I have to get over my fear of being one of those annoying shove it in your face kind of people. I know a person who uses social to push her business agenda and is doing quit well, but she annoys me. As much as she uses her personal life to expose her business, it always bugs me cause it's like I can see, it's not really personal, it's business, and that's what I don't want to be. I don't want Passdown to be something that annoys people. I don't want to shove it down their throats. But is that the true way of advertising? Is there a true way? I think it's any way you can without being annoying. Only time will tell.
Yes I am passionate about our early stage start up. I'd like to, shove it down peoples throats, but in the most beautiful way possible. So that the shoving would really seem like swallowing something tasty. Like a good wine, or horderves.
For me I won't be satisfied to deliver the message in any other form. As I don't want to be the fisherman, I want the people to seek to fish, out of our pond.
My way may be, a longer harder journey. When the people come to this pond, I will be pleased when they stand at the edges, and see the beauty, and dive into the water willingly.
