For the last two weeks I've been working on Polish, our new app and I had so much fun building it out. But honestly I'm quite uncomfortable.
The MVP is launched and now I'm slowly diverting my focus towards organic content & UGC around the app. This is new for me. I have done many collaborations promoting brands and their products, but when it came to my own product I started to hesitate.
I have a ton of ideas around how to do UGC for Polish and what angles to try out. I'm very excited to do so, but this doesn't mean that I'm comfortable. I'm actively feeling this weird discomfort in me and I know that this is where growth happens. This is what you have to do in order to grow out your environment and get the results you want.
This can look different for you. You may be struggling with courses, your internship, or maybe you are also building out an app and struggling with the same issues. I want you to know what regardless of what you feel, you should chase your goals even if you don't see the end of the road.
I do not know whether or not my app will become successful. What I DO know is that it is in my hands to make this a success. I know what steps to take. All there is left is to follow these steps one by one and grow as a person. This is the case for nearly every single scenario or person. Once you acknowledge that you are in a position of growth and discomfort, you can take action and follow the necessary steps to get out of it.
My recommendation for everyone here:
Go launch a product. Even a damn alarm app would do. I strongly suggest you to build some sort of consumer app and try marketing it through Instagram and TikTok. This is a once in a lifetime opportunity with all the tools we have available. You need to make the most of it. Do not waste another day!
