I've been brainstorming a crazy idea for the past two weeks, and at the back of my mind it feels like I might just fail, I have this premonition that I might, but I've been constantly doing some research, trying to better my chances of doing better.
If I succeeded it'll be really great and I can't imagine all the possibilities that can become a reality, but then failure is real and it can become the situation.
I have called someone to work with me on the ideas I'm pushing, but someone I'm not sure if they'll have enough time to also work with me on my "crazy idea". I've called someone before now and they didn't seem to be interested.
The problem is that this idea is high risk. You need to give in money, time, research and effort and still may not come out with anything tangible. People don't like uncertainty. Sometimes we like starting ventures with higher chances of success.
This is fine.
Time is money, people have goals, bills to be paid, needs to me met and no one wants to actually waste time on anything that might not yield dividends.
I've been on a money making venture with a few people about a years ago, I messed it up and these people were left with huge losses in time, moment and effort and I couldn't pay them back for everything they lost.
So basically it's better to have someone who understands that there's a 50% chance that failure is possible and they're willing to live with it. However the 50% chance that success happens changes everything.
This is why there is no such thing as ordinary luck. People get lucky when they take risk, or end up unlucky when they also do. The difference is that you're in one place when you don't try anyway.
A lot of people aren't willing to invest in places where there are no guarantees. This is the biggest problems of most startups as well. No one believes it can work even before it does.
This is why they get less backers and not a lot of investors willing to commit. No matter the prospects of something, when there are no guarantees this takes away 80% of whatever support you might get.
I understand this, I'm a man of big dreams, but some of my dreams have messed me up big time, but some of them is why I've been able to stay afloat and I like to always dream.
Unfortunately I cannot bring some of my dreams to reality, unfortunately this is the biggest problem with not having a lot of alliances, acquaintances or friends.
Partnerships are how we scale, and continuity of progress depends on how loyal, selfless and considerate a partner is. I'm not talking about married people who became partners, this is also possible.
I'm talking about the type where different people puts those skills on the table and make money for the the betterment of everyone. Available partnerships in life is a blessing we must appreciate and not abuse, turns out we cannot do life alone, including making money.
