After the book and the forum came to my life something strange happened. I find myself all the time asking this question: "IS THIS A NEED?" .Then i ask a second question to myself: "What are you going to do about it?". And then something like this happens:
As i was drinking my coffee in my house i had an idea of a mobile app. Not sure why this came to my mind but it happenned. Then i started searching about it. (I do not know anything about coding or anything else software related!). I started doing some research and found out that no one else had this idea.
did the math:
the entry is kind of difficult. need to pay money to outsource or learn php.
the scale is easy as it is going to serve 2 million people as a start.
the control is something i know nothing about. for example i do not know what a server does. and i realise that in order to have control i must own a server and have the app in there.
the time is something i think at first will require most of my time but then i can have a manager and employees.
I wrote a page for what functions i need my app to have. (It creates a whole new market for advertising for companies)(about 14000 companies of this type in my country)
I found a great name for the app, searched it if the domains are not taken.
I went online and made a free logo.
I researched it with my friends and family and most of them said they would use it.
I started emailing companies from my country, from the usa and from india and asked about the app.
I got prices for the development of the app. india:6500 , mycountry: 65000, usa: we have other projects right now sorry!
I told a friend to back me up as a partner, (i put the idea and the work to create it , he puts the large fees for entity and employees , initial investment 50-50).Stopped.
Then some days later, after reading about books in here, i said to myself. you write all the time in your job why don't you write a book and maybe find a new cash flow there.Started research, wrote about 2500 words. Stopped. (Didn't like it!)
Then another idea for an app got to my head. Did some research.Stopped.
I also have my slowlane job.
I also have 2 projects currently running,that give something back.
One with capital investment around 5000 and another with 400.
The above happened in about a month.
Now:
Question n.1: What is happening to me?
Question n.2: How can i stop and focus on what must be done for the projects allready running?
Question n.3: Is anyone else having these symptoms? How do you manage it?
