Leave the perfection echo chamber.
Discuss ideas with potential users, people in the industry which you want to improve. Team up with somebody to implement/market/sale it. Your idea benefits may outweight the flaws. Nothing is perfect.

Re: Ask HN: How do you fight self-skepticism towards your own ideas?
#22I was a freelancer for 8 yrs then on a lark took a job from a client. I didn’t know anything about their industry but 1 yr later and being in mtgs w their clients I hav found a few strong needs for saas and I know who to hit up as first clients. I am too tired to prog after work so am having freelancers make the app mvp. Getting closer to a very real product that will be gobbled up by a rather large but lo tech industry.
Re: Ask HN: How do you fight self-skepticism towards your own ideas?
#23The thing that helped me was realising that ideas are dime a dozen. For me personally, if I am willing to put in the effor to execute on it then I believe that I am passionate enough about it and there will be at least one another person like me who might like it. After that I would not make any assumptions and just launch, test and iterate.
Sorry if it sounds a little confusing.
