Starting a New Project: Between Fear and Enthusiasm
Launching a project is always a big leap.
Regardless of experience or team size, doubt is often the first guest.
As a service provider and a true right-hand partner on many projects, we have had the opportunity to witness a multitude of launches.
Each time, it’s the same story: bubbling ideas, creeping doubts, hindering hesitations… and that slight fear of the leap into the unknown.
Let’s be honest: we all go through it.
When it comes to one’s first web or mobile project, this fear is even more present — and that is completely normal.
“I have not failed thousands of times, I have succeeded in thousands of attempts that did not work.” Thomas Edison
This quote, attributed to Thomas Edison, perfectly summarizes the mindset to adopt when embarking on entrepreneurship.
Starting out is, above all, accepting to learn.
It is not a failure to test an idea that doesn’t work immediately — it is a step towards what will work.
Test, Refine, Progress
So, how can you move forward with this mindset?
Test.
First, with your close contacts: what do they think of your idea?
Then, through a simple version of your project — what is known in the tech world as a POC (Proof of Concept).
This real-world test allows you to gauge genuine interest in your idea while controlling your budget.
The important thing is to proceed in stages.
Each milestone achieved will give you more clarity, more confidence… and above all, more desire to go further.
What if you weren’t alone?
Creating, testing, adjusting, stepping back… it’s exciting, but it’s also a challenge.
Choices are numerous, directions are multiple, and pressure can quickly mount.
So why not surround yourself with a trusted partner to move forward more confidently?
