When you’re in the stage of thinking, don’t stop working, studying or earning money. Nothing is changed. You’re only thinking more about your ‘idea’ but giving it all up will only give you more to worry about. It will have a negative influence on that ‘moment of truth’. Don’t think about the future afteryou have launched your startup. Continue to live the way you did.

I just continued to go to work, made websites as a freelancer. What you do need however, is support. Tell people about your dream of starting up a startup. Try to find out who thinks you’re an idiot and who believes in you. In my case, I have many dreams and people around me mostly wait for two weeks to take me seriously. I can’t blame the though. You will see most people wish you all the luck but don’t believe you will hold on longer than a month, others may just say they like it and some will ask you to keep posted. The ones that ask you how it goes and although you may hate it, those people are likely to tell you what they think. “Have you thought about this and that?” “You know, I think people would need…” You may find that annoying and say:”I have already thought about that.” or think “he, dude. I am the one starting here so don’t tell me what to start.” The people that are interested in this stage believe in you and will be likely to help you out later on.

Find support. Don’t keep a list of who is friendly and who isn’t and promise only the friendly people they can swim in your pool when you’re a millionaire. Just don’t bother people with your ideas that are jealous and may discourage you. They don’t like hearing it, and you don’t like them answering anyway.
