One of my biggest red flags is the word "idea".
Especially when it's an "idea for an app".
Especially when you say you "can't reach an audience to test it".
Especially when it'll take a minimum of 6 months to "go live".
Having ideas suggests you're in your head theorising, rather than out there engaging the market.
It reminds me of the line "Tell me what you've done and I'll tell you who you are."
If you tell us what you've *done* will that make you a navel-gazer or an action-taker?

Ask yourself these questions:
- Who have I helped?
- What have I helped them with?
- What will I do to help someone new, today?
- What will I do to help someone and get paid, this week?
