So, you want to startup?

Original Post:http://www.mhonorato.com/want-to-startup/

All begins with an idea, a dream

Change the world?...

How do I start?

Ask for help maybe?

Do I start building something right away?

What kind of skills do I have to know?

Sharing what I have learn so far…

Start with WHY

Money, fame or power?...Wrong way buddy

Simon Sinek – “Start with why”

Bad Idea = -1

Weak Idea = 1

Regular Idea = 5

Good idea = 10

Great Idea = 15

Brilliant Idea = 20

No execution = $1

Weak Execution = $1000

Regular Execution = $10.000

Good Execution = $100.000

Great Execution = $1.000.000

Brilliant Execution = $10.000.000

“Ideas are cheap and abudant. Execution is everything”

Don’t fall in love with your idea!

Love the problem that your trying to solve

Your idea have to solve a specific problem

A painkiller to a daily “headache”

“Life is to shor to build things that nobody wants”–Ash Maurya

Create a “persona” profile

Start working with 20 of them. Get to know them perfectly!

Persona profile

Define this parameters

Start testing!

Validations, validations

And more Validations

“There are no facts inside the building, so get the heck outside!” -Steve Blank”

Build a Mockup befor the MVP

Don’t waste money or resource, be creative!

A napkin is more than perfect to start

Feedback is the fuel to everyday work

Never stop asking for it!

Nobody is gonna steal your idea!

Don’t worry for that…Is worth 0

Building your team?...Ask you this

If you die tomorrow will they continue your vision?

Don't worry if you fail

Worry about getting up again, again and again!

“There is no failure, justFeedback and learning”

“When you grow up you, tend to get told that the world is the way it is and your life is just to live your life inside the world, try not to bash into the walls too much, try to have a nice family, have fun, save a little money. That’s a very limited life. Life can be much broader, once you discover one simple fact, and that is that everything around you that you call life was made up by people that were no smarter than you. And you can change it, you can influence it, you can build your own things that other people can use. Once you learn that, you’ll never be the same again.

Most people never pick up the phone, most people never ask. And that’s what separates, sometimes, the people that do things from the people that just dream about them. You gotta act. And you gotta be willing to fail… if you’re afraid of failing, you won’t get very far.”

Hope it helps!
