You Don't Need Confidence to Make Your Ideas Work

Too often, people stall because they want the idea to be perfect before showing it to the world.

But confidence isn’t a precondition. It’s a byproduct of experimenting.

Instead of aiming to feel “sure” try this:

  • Draft a rough version of your offer

  • Show it to 3 people who could actually benefit

  • Ask what’s missing, what’s confusing, what feels useful

This is how value is built, not in your head, but in the exchange.

Experiments lower the stakes. They move you forward. Clarity comes after action, not before.

So if you’re stuck, don’t wait to feel ready.

Design a small experiment. Talk to real people. And stay curious about what happens next.
