I am software developer, with years of experience. Over the years I have started multiple projects but I have always been afraid to release the apps for fear of failure and also considering the fact that I don’t know anything outside development.

Last year I made myself a promise to release one app, so I got to work and so far so good.

I have lost hope along the way and regained it , I have push through all negative thoughts and pushed this app further than any. I have progressed as far as running beta testing with external users ( all with positive comments )and fixed all bugs.

Now I am back to the same fear again and at the top of my fear list are:

  1. What if people don’t like it ?
  2. If is fails and I lose all the money I have invested in it
  3. How do I market it
  4. I don’t know much about running a business where do I begin with the launch and running this
  5. I am so introvert I don’t even have friends to test the app , I had to pay external testers.

Any direction, suggestion or helpful answers on how to go about this would be most appreciated.

    1. You take their feedback and make adjustments where necessary
    2. You take what you learned, lick your wounds, and decide if you want to try again
    3. Depends on your target market
    4. Read some business books, consider finding a business partner
    5. Get out there and meet people, networking is one of the most important things for entrepreneurs.

    Remember that the more you do something that is scary, the less scary it becomes. Don’t let your fear keep you dead in the water.
