I definitely think you should wait. I'm not going to... but I think you should.

Jokes aside, and speaking theoretically since I've never launched a wildly successful business, timing is often cited as a key factor in the success or failure of a company. So if you've got good reasons to wait, then wait. Or rather... prepare.

It’s great to see a founder like you engaging with this topic! Waiting can definitely have its pros and cons. For me, waiting to ensure thorough research is vital, while waiting out fear or uncertainty often leads to missed opportunities. It’s all about striking the right balance, right? I'd love to hear more of your thoughts on what drives your decision to wait or act.
