#askstartupguy: "I have a Startup Idea, how do I proceed to bring it to life"

Here is my reply :
Start. Start and Start….

There's a majority of people who have Amazing Ideas but they don't START Those ideas die in the mind before it comes to the “real” world. Go back to year 80s or early 90s, one couldn't imagine these ideas….
“driverless cars”
“bullet trains”
“robots”
“Facebook”

Any idea can shape “real” when it is STARTED and executed otherwise it will remain as an idea.

Why majority of people don't start?
1. People laugh on you when you tell them your idea. You don't have people around who can say “YES” and motivate you. (Actually, they laugh at you because they tell you THEIR LIMITATION not “yours”
2. There is no resource to build your idea and you have to RESEARCH. Resource can be anything like a #team, Computer or Product and also includes your “skills” as resource. Today my #startupmzansi team is my asset.
3. You don't have a mentor or a guide. I know its NOT EASY to find mentor when you ask for ADVICE from every senior entrepreneur and visit every startup event and meeting all seniors. In my case, my first entrepreneur-turned-investor was my mentor because he himself run 3 companies, two failed, one sold. Thanks to him whatever I know today "The Real" just because of him only. Even you can travel your journey alone but a mentor will make that easy and enjoyable. I remember when we both become friends, he started reading "my silence" over the phone when nothing was working Find your Mentor today. (Check out #startupapp

What you should do to start?
1. Research on your ideas.
2. Search on Google.
3. Finding answers from Quora
4. Sharing on Facebook.
5. Networking on Linkedin.
6. Use our StartupApp
7. Join Startup Mzansi to get access to the best resources

After doing above tasks, I am sure you would have replies to the following questions
1. About The Real Problem
(is it real or big problem)
2. The Solutions
(existing somewhere or you are the first one)
3. The Business Plan
(where is the revenue to sustain or how to create wealth)
4. About The Market
(where you can scale fast)
5. About The Investor
(which investor to reach for your idea)

START TODAY.

The startup journey will be enjoyable.

Best Wishes!
