It has been a while that I was thinking about building my own startup, but I was pretty sure that I would fail, so I start building two apps: Global Time Relax (a world clock ) and a 2d runner 🏃♂️ still in progress, I call them my launchpads.
I am in Afghanistan, so I wanted to understand the limitations here and learn the whole process– building, publishing, marketing, everything.
I am actively learning marketing by doing it on Reddit, Instagram, TikTok, YouTube, X, everywhere.
Most people including family and friends make fun of me for building a world clock ⏰️ and marketing it. They keep telling me that I will fail.
But they don't realize that this is the whole point 🙄
I want to test the failure, stress, and all tough emotions,so next time when I want to built and grow something, I'm more prepared and I know which path to take, where to start, how to avoid failure, and long story short I will know what path lead to success.
Everyone make fun of me for building a world clock app but!….

tbh this is actually the right mindset. your first project isn’t supposed to be the billion dollar idea lol, it’s just reps. building something small like a world clock and learning shipping + marketing already puts you ahead of most people who only “plan startups.” honestly ignore the noise. most founders I’ve seen started with random small projects before figuring out the thing that actually worked. keep going.
Congratulations to you. You are learning to understand the reality of this tough world ,that nobody is coming to support you and the only way through is just doing it anyway.
