What questions do you ask before you start something new?

I've been thinking about the questions I ask when I'm about to start something new:

  1. Will I learn something?
  2. Am I adding value?
  3. Is this going to be fun?
  4. Is this going to allow me to have more fun in the future?

This is not always a way to decide if I'm going to do something or not (some things you have to do), it's just questions I like to have the answers to before I jump into something.

What questions do you ask before you start something new?

    Some of my questions:

    • Is it the best moment in life to start this?
    • Do I currently have what it takes to make that happen?
    • Can I prove its potential?
    • Do I have time for this? Will it distract me from other projects?
    • How long it will take to get from point A to B?

    This is also a great list I came across recently

    Who are your early target users, and where they currently congregating, offline?
    Who are your early target users, and where they currently congregating, online?
    Do your friends fit into the target user group? If so, have you invited them yet?
    Is your value-prop incredibly strong? Consider throwing up a waitlist.
    Is your product innately social? Consider relying on existing users to invite new users.
    Who are influencers of your target users, and how could you get them to talk about your product?
    What’s a unique, compelling, fresh story you could pitch press?
    Could you build a community now, to leverage later?
