Its been two months since my TMFL encounter.
At first I was filled with excitement and passion. I felt like I can make it, that I will be able to provide value then I can be a Millionaire.
My idea is to create an awesome android app that will acquire gazillion of downloads . Yes, android app because it satisfy CENTS by 80%. The moment I finished reading TMFL I started to learn how to code and create an app via Udemy, Books and thru web searches.
It was really hard since I was just using leftover times of my 9-5 job and I will try to learn until 12am. I even sacrificed my Saturdays and Sundays.
To resist the urge of giving up, I registered on Google play console and paid the $25 registration fee and I started an instagram account with now less than 1000 followers.
Last week, thinking that I already know everything about android app creation; I decided to start building my app. Then, wham I cant create it.. I cant even make it work.
Before I started to learn coding, my idea for an app is not yet in Google play since I searched for it. Now it was in Google play and someone did it perfectly. Another wham
Now I don't have any idea of a good android app. So, should I give up in android app creation and find another business idea or should I stay?
lol It took me 2 years to develop and publish my first game Zombie Crisp on android.
The entire first year i didn't even test it on a smartphone. I just developed it in the editor on PC.
I ran into countless bugs and had to solve numerous design problems and do so much testing, but i didn't give up.
When i finally bought the cheapest android i could find to test it on, it ran like a slideshow and crashed, but i didn't give up.
After learning a ton more about optimizing, and mobile development, I finished the app and published on android.
I spent well over 1000+ hours developing it and it flopped... but i didn't give up.
I spent the next 4 months torturously trying to publish the app on iphone which was a whole new can of worms.
I ran into so many fukin problem i went hysterical, but i didn't give up.
Finally i got the app published on iphone, and it flopped, but i didn't give up.
Then i made another game and it flopped too, but i didn't give up.
I made a few other silly apps, and non of them went viral, but i didn't give up.
For awhile I even burned out and my health took a hit, but i didn't give up.
I'm working on an app at this very moment, maybe this is the one, maybe it's not, i don't know, but i do know... that i won't give up.
Are you gonna give up?
