To give assistance on a launch, first I'd need to know what you're launching.

I'm sure there's a method for success, but I haven't even considered looking into it yet. My biggest concern is that I'm going to come across as a solicitor in communities that need relationship-building. Also, all of the services I've spoken to charge astronomical prices to do it for you. Also, nobody teaches, and there is considerable gatekeeping of knowledge in this space. Sticking with FB...

You had almost 600 upvotes. What exactly was tough about it? I know someone who launched here a few years ago and told me he was up for 3 days straight. He never told me why, so perhaps you can give some insight as to what was happening. Also, would like to hear about some things you learned, as that's why I'm here.

My family. I have pictures of them above my computer that I look at when I feel tired and lean back on my chair. Oftentimes in the chaos around us we can lose sight of the "why" behind what we're doing.

My charm and personality. I love in-person networking and building relationships. None of these tools will ever technically acquire clients, especially high-ticket ones. At some point, you are going to have to come out from behind the camera and complete the sale.

Inb4 another Forbes-sponsored entrepreneur goes to prison. Kidding! Happy to connect, Alexey.

Final Fantasy 7/8, Horizon Zero Dawn, and Planetside 2 :)))

The most important things I consider are, once I have the product in front of me and I want it to do what I need: 1) Will I have to jump through hoops before I can use it the first time effectively? 2) Upon first use, will it do exactly what I need it to, or am I going to have to get involved and intimate with the product or service over time before I am actually satisfied with the...

Oh totally. The entire onboarding process is streamlined and connected via some third party apps. Once they're on their dashboard (only possible after membership begins), they're provided with a welcome video as well as a quick how-to. They don't need to do much once they're there though.

A relative of mine lost $250,000 because I wasn't honest with him, so I'm going to give it to you straight. Let me start with the Pros: You have an excellent product here. Handmade, exquisite craftsmanship. I know for a fact based on my knowledge of apparel made by the hands of a pro that this is going to be an incredible experience. You also have an excellent selection of colors to choose...

I've been seeing bad design work around my city for ages. Multi-million dollar agencies considering design as an afterthought was especially frustrating because every other business was exactly the same. What's worse is, this mediocrity was becoming so normalized, that entrepreneurs just didn't believe design was worth paying for. So I started a productized service to give the people what they...

Generally speaking, I tend to be very close with my work. I communicate directly with my clients anyway, so it seems natural that I also am the face of it. I've found that people tend to appreciate and trust businesses with a face on it more often. It shows that you've got some non-material skin in the game :)

Well, the question is based on the assumption that you are doing something wrong on the weekdays, and when the weekend comes around, you need to recover or mentally prepare for the inconveniences to come for the next 5 days. I don't know exactly what's going on on your end, but I have a routine I follow and don't deviate from. I get up and drink water Exercise Read for 1 hour Check...

I'm working on my business, mate. I've got a really good product-based service I'm working on and I've been making a lot of changes to my website and establishing systems for when it launches.

I'm literally working every day. If it's not at my 9-5 (Or with my girlfriend) then It's on my biz. I have a parent who suffers from serious mental health issues. Whenever I hear from her I'm reminded of why I haven't made the money to get her the help she needs. It can push me into a slump for a few hours. Later, it just fuels my productivity though.
