Most of the time. But little things like a positive customer shoutout or testimonials might help to stay focused.

Certainly! Very often, but this is a necessary process for development, growth and timely pivots.
I've doubts about all my ideas, still trying to validate them...
@erick_philbert It's good to doubt. After all, it is doubts that can save us from failure. But we must not give in to doubts, because they can also set us back from success.
You definitely need to take risks regardless of doubts, success smiles on the working people
Doubting your startup ideas is pretty normal. It's part of the creative process. For me, it's about balancing those doubts with the excitement of creating something new.
I try to validate my ideas as much as possible, talking to potential users and getting feedback early on.
I have similar question... how do you validate your ideas?
Launching soon!
Always, but you gotta believe in yourself and keep going 🚀
Most of the time I do
I think my startup building AI for crisis decision making has started to doubt me. He just suggested I hire a more experienced founder.

Doubts are part of the process. Hang in there. Don't let pressure and obstacles make you doubt the project you're working on.
Only in retrospect haha
100% I go through phases. Thinking it will be super successful, then question everything. It's a bumpy rollercoaster. But excited to be on the ride.
Sure, doubt is a natural part of the journey tbh
I go through waves. First there's a small spawn of an idea. Then it starts to congeal into something resembling a possible MVP. After that there's a burst of excitement before the crash, where you think, "this is dumb and will never work." Maybe that's why successful founders don't think much and simply build in public until they stumble on something that works.
I'm going through that now making an MVP.
Currently thinking I've wasted my time and it'll never work.
@zed_tarar yeah I know exactly what you mean
and it's like a swing and I wish it was an easy answer for it but it's not
we will never know until we completly fail😂 even then we might think no I won't quit but sometimes it's good to quit it is just hard to know when
Too many times. But i believe it's normal until we found market fit :) Even if it fails, it is part of the learning and reiterative process.
Launching soon!
It's perfectly normal to have doubts about your startup ideas. In fact, most founders do. But it's important to not let your doubts stop you from pursuing your dreams.
Remember, doubt is a normal part of the entrepreneurial journey. Don't let it stop you from pursuing your dreams.
Yes always.
Before market research and validating the idea!
Once the research is done well and the idea is validated, there's no going back!
Most of the time.
