The launch of
is now just days away and I’m not too proud to admit that I am now very very scared and way out of my comfort zone.
I find myself subconsciously looking for reasons not to launch which is more than slightly ridiculous considering the initial reason for doing this in the first place and not least the amount of money invested so far….
In my panic I found myself commenting to my better half, “what if someone orders something”….it’s all been under wraps so far, I can see and access the website to upload products etc and make changes where required, the stock is all at home and inventoried, the packaging materials are all there waiting to be filled….
Of course I do want people to love our products and site so much that they want to visit again and again to see what’s new, of course we want lots and lots of orders so we can grow and add more lines and products, it’s just that for months it’s been my little baby which I feel I am about to hand over, that is actually a great analogy, I guess this is how it would feel to be pregnant, loving the experience of the baby growing, making lots of changes at home to compensate, getting excited but worried about the “birth” and hoping there won’t be any serious complications…..I wonder what the equivalent of a caesarean would be…think that may be taking the analogy too far 🙂
So, very busy weekend ahead sorting out last-minute details, have I mentioned how much I dislike images and photos and their manipulation? I feel another blog post coming on……, luckily the children and other half are away so I can spend the entire weekend locked in the world of Lindsay Interiors…
Congratulations on taking the bold step to go into business for yourself. The website looks good – clean, simple, and it makes it very clear what you do.
I went into business for myself a couple of years ago and since then I’ve spent a lot of time with people like you and I, who’ve decided to convert their passion into a way of earning a living. It can be hard work and sometimes you wonder why you bothered, but it’s worth it!
Best wishes!
