The biggest breakthrough I had was learning to ship before I feel ready

I used to sit on ideas for way too long. I’d think, plan, sketch, second guess, and by the time I wanted to launch, the energy was already gone. The idea didn’t die because it was bad. It died because I moved too slow.

That’s what pushed me to build ShipAhead for myself. Not as a tool, but as a way to force momentum. If I can get the first version online fast, everything else becomes easier. Feedback comes sooner. Decisions get clearer. And I stop getting stuck in my own head.

Since then, I’ve shipped more projects in months than I used to ship in years. Most won’t become anything big, but at least they finally get a real shot instead of staying trapped in notes.

If you’re always waiting for the “right moment,” launching earlier changed everything for me.
