What are you factoring in?

Because it can be the thing that makes you succeed or not.

Who’s going to sponsor this?
How is it going to reach everyone?
How do I appeal to this audience?
Who will I hire?
How long will it take?
How do I outsmart the competition?
What if they don’t like it?
Will the influencers buy the idea?
What if another competition comes up?
What if I can’t do it better?

These are not necessarily unimportant questions.
But if you want to have it all figured out before you start, you might not get much done.

Of course, a level of preparation should go into what you are about to do. But maybe you’re prepared, you just need to muster the courage.

The best way is to care enough to dive in.
It’s okay to figure it out along the way.
