Comment on Ask HN: Being afraid and not knowing how to start building a startup concept

Comments

I've been there many times. First thing you need to do is managing the anxiety of "doing it wrong" that can be paralyzing.

Errors are the most enriching part of the process and can provide valuable lessons and make you closer to your goal. So don't be afraid to start. Just do it.

Prototyping can be handy to test a few concepts before investing your time coding. invisionapp.com is my fav tool. You can even share the prototype with a group of your target audience/users to get feedback.

If you want to go deeper and learn more about how to focus on your project priorities and productivity, I strongly recommend these books:

I wish you success on your journey!
