Hey guys,
I was listening to a podcast from @Andy Black and he mentioned the importance of just getting out there. I don't want to misspeak for him, but my takeaway was that it is important to post a working MVP, and allow the market to guide you. For instance, a website just needs:
1) Question with the customer's Needs answered
2) 2-3 bullet points saying "Hi! We fulfill your need"
3) Call-to-action button which services the client.
I do think I've done well in taking action on an idea very shortly since joining the forum, but I am shocked at how little I know. Even website building through WordPress plugins feels like a slow crawl. I have a deadline of 10/20/21 to have a website functional with my MVP online, but I think it would be foolish to publish crap.
I want to deliver as much value as possible to others, but I am a) unsure if I will through this idea, and b) struggling to find the balance of starting, and spending more time on quality. More than anything, I'd like to ensure I'm not action-faking and publish a product that is of use to others.
Maybe it is semi-expected that someone's first time producing will be useless, and that is part of the process? Or maybe this is a personal problem, and I am just inexperienced with Producer skills (web design, copywriting, etc). If my frame of thinking is flawed let me know!! I am capable of the work so long as I train the right belief systems! (But your help would go a long way).
