Hey guys! I've recently started on the entrepreneurship route to never have to need to wear a suite and tie again, because I find them itchy by providing value and making the world a better place. But in doing so, I've come across many of my weaknesses and grown along the journey. I'm writing this, in case there are some of you like me who are also just starting out who want to be sure you've laid the foundations almost perfectly before you build on it.
I don't think you need too, you just need to aim for a lower bar of certainty like 70% or whatever suits you. For example, recently in trying to start a digital marketing agency I was so confused on what services I wanted to provide, and I'm almost always confused nowadays but I trudge on. Do I choose SEO or Web design? I checked this forum, and while they were some positive answers for web design, scrolling long enough popped up some negative ones. So it was then it hit me, 'Just do the one that has at least a 70% certainty of greater success or interest rather than a 100%'. And I was like oh, "Web design might be more competitive for this niche, so I'll go with SEO".
In conclusion, don't spend too much time deciding when you don't need too. Find your routes, and if it's too hard to choose, go for the one that passes a 70% test. Well, hopefully that saves you a lot of time, like it did for me.
