Like… seriously…. WTF.
It's like the worst maths problem you've ever tried to solve.
The most complicated painting you're trying to complete.
The toughest conversation
The biggest maze.
The tallest rollercoaster.
The dirtiest room.
The biggest headache.
The choppiest sea.
It takes so much just to keep going. The metaphors are endless. I just do not understand what it takes to be successful! All these gurus selling courses and 100-step programmes to get this or that achievement. In the meantime, the drudgery, the outreach, the content, the meetings, the development, the feedback.
Gah. It's I-N-F-U-R-I-A-T-I-N-G.
Honestly, I NEED God here. Because I'm all outa ideas.
Why is building a startup so hard?

its difficult because you dont know the playbook.
The toughest part for me personally is dealing with my fear of visibility and failure. I didn’t realize working on this idea that I love would bring every insecurity I have to the surface.
A lot of this is an emotional and social intelligence game.
I think what really makes the difference is consistency and having the right business model. What kind of business are you running, and how long have you been working on it?
It looks like this kind of job is not your thing
bcz almost everything in every niche is already made. Making startup includes competing with already established brands in the market even if you solve a specific domain problem. And honestly the physical exhaustion is nothing compared to the mental one. u keep always doubting yourself, double check whether it was the right decision, considering scenarios that make u feel terrified. That’s how it is, even if everything is clear to u about what you are gonna actually build.
