6. The Build
Building, testing, iterating
This is where things get real. No more circling. No more overthinking. It’s time to build the first version of your idea — however rough, small, or imperfect it may be.
You’re not building the final product. You’re building something you can **test, touch, and share**. A prototype. A mock-up. A first offer. A working draft.
Your prototype might be a landing page. A drawing. A demo. A handmade sample. A basic service you run manually. The goal is to make it real — not perfect.
This is also the stage where fear shows up. Fear of being judged. Fear of failing. Fear of wasting time. But nothing’s wasted if it moves you forward. Even a “flop” is progress, because it gives you feedback. It sharpens your next move.
So don’t wait until it’s done. Build just enough to test. Then get ready to share it.
