It's my B-Day and I'm starting my 12 startups in 12 months challenge πŸ₯³

Heey everyone! I'm new here (literally just signed up a few minutes ago πŸ˜‚) and I thought I'd make my first post about doing the #12Startupsin12Months challenge...

Some quick background:

  • Been doing web development since Highschool. Mostly with Ruby on Rails.
  • I have experience with graphic design and UI/UX.
  • My fav food is sushi (not sure how that helps build startups, but I'm sure it does πŸ˜‰)

My goal with this challenge is to get into a habit of shipping products. I've built a lot of stuff over the years, but I never ship it. I always lose faith or get distracted with something else. This is the year I actually SHIP my products.

Current Task List

[x] Come up with a list of ideas
[ ] Do basic market research to whittle my list
[ ] Start building idea #1
[ ] Launch idea #1 by or before the end of Jan

Wish me luck! πŸ”₯I will post updates about my journey :)

    Happy Birthday!
    Good luck on your challenge, I'm doing sort of the same at the moment.

    One week down the road I can say: keep things simple and use the knowledge that you have instead of learning a bunch of new stuff.

    I will be following your progress

    1. 1

      Thank you!! πŸ₯³ Current plan is to build as much as I can using Ruby on Rails. I do want to learn NodeJS more but I will probably start that after I have 1 or 2 products built.

      1. 2

        Yes. Start with what you know. Good luck with your journey. Great idea.

        Btw, Happy Birthday.

        I love sushi too.

    Hey there!!

    Wish you a happy birthday.

    12 projects in 12 months could be huge and overwhelming.

    Cut it down to 6 projects in 12 months and use that extra month to market the products.

    This could be a good starting point that I have been writing for an year.

    Sushi totally helps! Being able to afford sushi (that doesn't come in plastic containers) is my financial motivation.

    Happy birthday, and good luck with the challenge!

    1. 1

      Heck yaaa!! Sushi is my fuel, I could literally live off it. πŸ˜‚πŸ”₯
