It’s difficult when the ideas in your head make perfect sense but when they’re communicated with others they whimper and die quiet deaths. Jobs and Wozniak must have really gotten some incredible stares when they were toting around the first apple prototype to banks and investors. I have to believe there were points where either of the two thought to themselves, holy crap, what on Earth am I doing and is there any hope?

I’ve had that moment. I think that’s part of being an entrepreneur. Knowing you don’t know but believing you’ll figure it out and trusting that you’ve got valid ideas. It can be stressful, though, especially just as all the gears are put into place so that it can start happening. It’s a lot like that feeling of finishing up a program or contraption right when you’re about to hit the go button and not knowing if it will run or fail horribly. Except your time is on the line, your money is at stake, and your belief in the world inside your head is at question.

Our gears are in place. The office is ready. The fresh install of windows is loaded with the proper dev tools. The timeline is in place. The dev server is being polished off. The ideas are on paper. The troops are ready. And, just so you know, I’m about to press “Go.”
