It is just not possible to build the perfect product right out of the gate.
I now believe after many years of designing and building stuffs that product development relies heavily on incremental improvements. It is not a bad idea to start small and crappy, but we must iterate fast, allowing the data we collect from our first users/customers to guide us.
Spending 18 months to build your first product is a simply a bad idea; there are always off-the-shelf solutions you could hack together to get something working in 1 – 3 months.
Stop waiting for huge.
Stop waiting for awesome.
Stop waiting for perfect.
You can start!
