Getting started – TSC.02

Okay, so I had a great idea in November last year to start side projects on my train commute to the office and back home. It is 45 minutes one way, so I gain 1h30 minutes per day!

The idea was genius, the execution a bit chaotic. Fast forward 2 months later and I’m still thinking this idea could be fun!

Choosing the perfect side project

Spoiler alert, I don’t think there is one. Classic startup struggles, you have a great idea, try to build it but then lose interest in the project before it’s finished or no time to finish it off exactly how you wanted it.

Another issue of mine, is that I have new ideas constantly. Every idea sounds like a good one so I instantly need to try and build it. Can’t help myself.

Choosing focus

To try and not jump from project to project in every TSC (The Startup Commute) Episode I post, I will try to limit my current focus on 2 projects. One is purely for fun, playing around with the ZenChef API for personal use in my restaurant.

The other idea is a project idea of me and my business partner Yannick, that we will try to commercialize in the end. So let’s see if that works out soon 🙂

Building an idea with our tech background and expertise is the easy part, convincing the world that our own app idea is the bomb, is something else.

But we’ll keep going!
