What goes into a builder’s mind :
(Builder : devs, innovators, entrepreneurs, creators, designer etc)

1. Having an idea is easy, but turning it into a sustainable product is crazy
2. I need to learn a lot just to build. A lot of time and resources are needed.
3. Who am I building this for?
4. Do they know it’s for them ? How do i tell them?
5. What’s their reaction to it ?
6. Am I focusing on a small group or something general ? What’s the pros and cons of niche vs wide market?
7. Can i build what I want and hope people will adopt ?
8. If I build 100 things, maybe one might suddenly go viral ?
9. I am not a sales person.
10. I’ll just keep building something awesome so that people will someday like something and keep wanting to use it
11. Do I really have to meet people and ask them what they want and if they liked my product ?
12. I spend hours, days, weeks, months, years building this and all I get are lousy reviews.
13. These feedback are challenging - are they attacking me as a person or my product ? Can I separate these attacks when I’m so emotionally invested in my product ?
14. Am I reaching the right target market or does my product need tweaks ? Am I wise and humble enough to know the difference ?
15. Do I have money to continue ?
16. If I have X amount of money, how can I spend it to take me from goal A to goal B?
17. Wtf is marketing ?
18. Why is everyone scaring the bejesus out of me with finance maths when engineering maths is the lunatic one ? Is it too complex learning finance ?
19. Building a product and getting it to market is 2 separate things - I have no clue abt the latter.
20. I am tired. I am burned out. I am stressed.
21. Will my crazy government come after me ?
22. I can't breathe. I need to breathe
23. I’m running out of money. How do I keep going ?
24. I can starve but I need money to feed my family
25. How can the financial ecosystem advance further to ease me into building and getting my product out there ?
26. Do I have to figure everything out ? Can I just focus on the build ? That alone is hard enough.
27. Why do other people have it easy ? Why can’t life be kind to me ?
28. If I have investors am I beholden to them ? What if I have psycho investors ?
29. Why do I have to convince people to fund me ? Don’t they know how important my work is ?
30. Why didn’t I just get a normal job and be like everyone else ? Why did I choose to make a difference in this world ? Why did I chose this path? It’s too difficult
31. I’m broke, I’m stressed, I’m exhausted, my users are upset, I’m losing users, losing credibility, the problems keep increasing, will this ever work ?
32. I don't know what I am doing anymore.
33. Ok, let me try solution 875 and see if this solves some of my problems. Maybe this time it might get better.

What goes into a user’s perspective :
1. Is this of value to me ?
2. Am I growing with it from a social, intelligence, awareness aspect ?
3. Am I connecting with people of shared values, sentiments, interest ?
4. Is this fun ?
5. Is this worth my time and money?
6. What do I get out of this ?


When the builders and user’s perspectives meet, we would have a higher chance of making things work.

But it’s not easy.
