I have an amazing IDEA, but should I execute it?

[Bling]

Main Question

I have an amazing idea, also i have some friends who are interested in it. But the main problem is I don’t have enough skills nor do i have money to hire a programmer. The main question is this idea can be executed by other developers. “Should I learn skills and then do it? Or what should I do?”. I can guarantee when I execute my idea it would be flawless it may take some time, but I would produce a quality product which would be efficient and people would love it which would make them buy our paid services too.​

Quick recap on me:
I’m just a student just turned 18. Previously I had 3 business ideas which I had executed and failed terribly, I don’t have any regrets I’ve learned a lot from those things. My friends don’t know coding, but are willing to sacrifice their time for this project and i have little to non knowledge about programming.
​

An advice from you guys would be appreciated and would be a great help to me, as I’m new to business.

I say go with it man, even a bad prototype is a prototype none the less. Could really be what sparks off the million dollar idea and gets investors circling you like sharks in water.

GOLD! - HOT! - Learning to Program is STUPID! (or SMART?!)

I still don't understand why people here want to learn to code! Spend that time learning to market and write sales copy. Spending 1000 hours to learn to code to spend 200 hours writing an app is STUPID. Spend the 1000 hours learning to market and write copy, and you can use that skill for...

If you are generally interested in learning programming then go for it. You will learn a lot and even if your business idea fails you will keep your skill and can use it for future projects. But if you just chase the money and think that this exact project will make you 100% rich then I would question your approach. Check if your idea solves a specific problem and delivers value.

My suggestion, if you decide to learn programming, would be to create a prototype as soon as you can and see how the market reacts. Check out this Thread by @Andy Black : MINDSET - Launch & Learn

I wish you good luck!

Yes, I’ve been learning market too. I’ve been learning stocks, sales, copywriting. It would be amazing if you recommend how to do it, and some way to figure it out.

Can you start by selling the services?

My plan is to build this project which would be helpful to people. And I thought i would make it as a free service and paid for the people who wants more than that.

I’ve read your post, I surely will follow that method thanks for it.

Sorry for the late reply.

For this week I can research things that could benefit my project and gather people for my work.

Yes. I have a friend of mine and I had the same issue and that's the reason why I did this project which could solve this problem in masses.
