As a developer my biggest problem is my organization's lack of testing across the board(unit testing, automated testing, poor testing done by the test team.) I have been pushing for better testing pretty much since I got here, but haven't made much headway.

As an entrepreneur my biggest problem is enough confidence in any idea to go for it.

Let me give you my method, it might help. Don't go head first full bore into an idea at first. Build a quick, cheap prototype with only the main features and see how your target customer responds. Gives you a ton of feedback while validating or invalidating your idea without wasting a huge amounts of time. You might find that you need to pivot your idea or target a different group. So don't waste time and money on an idea before you prove the underlying assumptions.
