Hello from Adelaide, Australia! Currently Developing "Confidence to Launch" and Hitting Roadblocks

by

I don't mean an app, I mean the skill. I am currently sitting on a SaaS app that is ready to launch and fear has set in, so I procrastinate the launch by starting another project and immersing myself into the new project. The build phase is the fun part I suppose... but I really need to make some effort to get to the money-making phase.

I know other people have this problem, I can't be the only one. What do you think causes it? Is it fear of success? I think in my case, even a small amount of success would change my life quite dramatically. Of course, this is a good thing and absolutely necessary, but I am aware that I will be stepping outside of my comfort zone and into the unknown.

I'm feeling a huge mix of excitement, nervousness, good feelings as well as fear. I am so close to taking that leap of faith, but still holding back a little.

Anyway, about me: My name is Jenna and I am 42 years old, mother to an amazing 8 year old son (Both my son and I have ADHD and Autism, not relevant to this discussion but it is relevant to how I work and run my businesses) and I have been a "Small Business Entrepreneur" for the past 15 years (roughly).

In the past I have built small semi-passive income businesses and websites, eventually moving onto automation and service-based businesses. I am also the Founder and Lead Public Relations Specialist at VCAdvisors and the SaaS products I am currently working on/about to launch are in relation to public relations and media intelligence. The products I have built are products that I have needed myself.

Aside from that I am a meditation teacher on Insight Timer and a huge Brainwave Entrainment nerd. I have considered making a meditation app but there are way too many of those already, I'm not adding to the noise.

So that is pretty much all I have to say for now. I am really interested to hear peoples thoughts about fears of success and self-confidence issues about launching their product.

Thanks for reading, I am super excited to be here by the way. I hadn't mentioned that yet :)
