Am I the only one that keeps pushing my launch date?

Question

Not my proudest moment but I'm stuck in a perfectionism (read procrastination) loop.

Any tips on overcoming this and pulling the trigger?

Understand that there is no such thing as a single launch. It’s ok to launch and learn only to relaunch again and again. Give yourself some grace. Launch, learn. Relaunch. It’s ok.

I'm very nervous for my launch too. You're not the only one!

🙋‍♀️ You are never alone in this 😅

Just close your eyes and push the launch button. That helps.  That's how I release all my articles. 😆

Sometimes, I have to cheat my mind sayin' "No one s goin to read it. Just push." Then once it's LIVE, I edit it to perfection until I am satisfied.Call it upgrade based on market research in real time

@indu_thangamuthu you are braver than I will ever be 😅. But solid advice!

Isaac Martin Otim · Answer

@indu_thangamuthu Being an entrepreneur is just stacking pressure after pressure 😅

@slimmy82 You're right.

Indu Thangamuthu · Answer

@izakotim In fact, the fear that the product is live now pushes you to better perfection than the before-launch perfection.

@slimmy82 Good advise, but it's 6 months in between each launch right?

Nope, you're not the only one!!!

@haijoy the "Edit Schedule" button is my Achilles heel 😭

Indu Thangamuthu · Answer

@izakotim 😂 There's no other option

Isaac Martin Otim · Answer

@slimmy82 I wouldn't rely on it. It's apparently close to impossible to pass unless you are maybe as relevant as OpenAI 😅😅

Isaac Martin Otim · Answer

@slimmy82 @xavier_jj Yes, but from my knowledge, I believe they could let you squeeze an update in between the six months if it is "significant" though it may have to be reviewed

Isaac Martin Otim · Answer

@xavier_jj my advise is not to postpone it even if you don't feel ready, that's a slippery slope

@izakotim oh I didn’t know that! Thanks for sharing
