Questions are the new answers!?

Do you like clarity? You dream up solutions, craft roadmaps, and chase that ever-elusive vision. But the reality of an entrepreneurial journey? It's a swirling fog of uncertainty. New markets emerge, pivots become necessary, and unforeseen challenges pop up left right and center.

As a founder, you're constantly pitching your vision. Whether it's to investors, potential customers, or even your own team, you need to be a master storyteller. But simply telling people how great your idea is won't be enough. You need to show them.

Looking to create a meaningful and lasting solution?

Do you trust your gut?

So today’s challenge:

Enjoy investigating and understanding your gut feelings! Thanks for tuning in to Day 037 of The Daily Founder, please help us out to keep going with this by liking, commenting and joining the community group on austrianstartups.com.

Let’s build a prototype today! Why? Prototypes allow you to test if your ideas and assumptions are actually true. It saves you time and money to first build prototypes and test with them before building and designing your full product or service offer. Going on a prototyping journey gives you more confidence and actual data if it’s technically possible, if anybody would actually want it and how it should look like.

So let’s create one today.

I suggest to define 4 things for your prototype: First: The right question aka the hypothesis. Which assumption do want to test?

Secondly: Define the minimal feature set. What is the MINIMUM requirement, the cheapest and fastest way to get to an answer to your question?

Number 3: Design your experiment. Are you just testing if it can be done technically? Do you need two versions to show to people to see which one is better - an A/B test? Is it a questionnaire? Unleash your inner scientist and try to figure out which setup is best suited to give you the answers you need (not the answers you want!).

And for number 4: Define the success metric. How will you know whether your assumption is true or false? Define how you measure and at which number or result you’ll count it as confirmed or not.

Voila. This is it for Day 036 of The Daily Founder.

Nobody really gives a flying f*** about what you do - a very liberating realization, at least it was for me. It just means you should do you, go do your thing, make stuff happen, don’t overthink it. But what will other people think? - Nobody cares!

For today’s challenge. Every time the thought arises “What will other people think?” slap yourself on the wrist and ask yourself instead, is this the right thing to do for me right now?

Care less about what other people might think. Just keep going and be kind along the way.

It would be very kind if you left a comment and like. Join us in the community group on austrianstartups.com. This is Day 035 of The Daily Founder.
