I suck at execution. How do i improve?

[devkaran]

I've been working on a product (a mobile app) for the past 8 months. First 2 of those months were spent in the wrong direction (overpriced tech stack for my particular product; firebase) then the last 6 have been both coding and setting up the backend. I've only built half of the app (only the backend) and i have bad excuses to show for it; college exams, living with my parents (someone actively suggesting it's not a good idea every 2 weeks) and some persistent but not big health problems. I plan on outsourcing the frontend. My idea isn't great, nor is it uncommon, the reason why I'm betting on it is I'll set up the distribution such that small business owners would benefit from selling my product and in return they get a %.

How do i utilise my time more? I have tried thinking about my "why"s but they don't stay in my mind too long. Am i supposed keep trying to be better just one day at a time or am i missing something

NOTE: i have validated the idea. Before i built anything before these 8months i talked to potential customers, showed them what my product will do for them and they agreed it would be useful. i don't see how this idea validation has anything to do with execution but yea.

Stop Building Stuff
(Originally posted here and then here.)


I worked for a company that was building a content creation platform.

I worked for a startup that was building a new social network.

I worked for another company that was building a call centre.

I've had many many clients that were building websites.

A few that were building an app.

And a few that were building email lists.


Sigh...



I created a deck for a client a few years ago, where I tried (unsuccessfully!) to stop them...
