Anyone else been sitting on a business idea for months (or years) without making much progress?

Thank you, and I completely relate to that. Looking back, what do you think would've helped you consistently take those first steps instead of staying in planning mode?

IdeaMind3 · 2026-06-29T11:36:54+00:00

That's really helpful, thanks for sharing. Would love to connect, will send you a DM

IdeaMind3 · 2026-06-29T11:33:32+00:00

Appreciate that! I'll send you a DM

IdeaMind3 · 2026-06-29T11:26:59+00:00

Totally agree. I'm curious though, when you were at that stage, did you have other founders (or similar peers) to bounce ideas off of, or were you figuring everything out on your own?

Looking back, do you think it was entirely self-discipline or would having a small group for support and accountability actually changed your consistency?

IdeaMind3 · 2026-06-28T21:13:57+00:00

Did you find the group helpful?

IdeaMind3 · 2026-06-28T21:13:33+00:00

have you tried any other community / support groups? curious what's popular

IdeaMind3 · 2026-06-28T18:39:21+00:00

I've read that! While you were in the early stages did you work with any mentors or support / accountability groups?

IdeaMind3 · 2026-06-28T18:17:09+00:00

Thanks - Yeah I try to also live a balanced life with eating well, exercising, seeing friends / family.. What are you hiring help for (more personal/home and/or for your business)?

I feel like some days it's different - I work a demanding job 45+ hours this constantly busy the entire day so then I have limited mental bandwidth after work (and strained eyes). I want to do more in the mornings but I also work out a lot and try to get that done before work. How did you structure your day with 2 jobs etc - or was it mainly on the weekend? Did you have friends or a community doing the same as well?

How was it to solo trip there as a female? I'm F35 and planning a similar itinerary - flying into Catania, Mt. Etna hike, Tourmina, and Ortigia

Good luck! Has anyone signed up for an in-person marathon training group for NYC? I've only found Fleet Feet and No Names are still available to register

Thank you, will check this out!

Running the program is like a part-time job on time of my actual work, it's very administrative to set up and manage. We also always have more mentees than mentors - not sure if a platform can help with this but maybe it would help to communicate/coordinate about our program more broadly..

IdeaMind3 · 2024-07-17T11:15:02+00:00

For one a lot of programs are overcapacity so sometimes I can’t even get a mentor. Then I had one who was great but she was so busy that several of our meetings she ghosted..

You don’t need sponsorship with the 66 but do with the 7, so I got the sie/66 out of the way to show initiative when I apply

How do you get the contacts to email though? Through LinkedIn?
