So, your launch is coming up and you’re starting to get a little nervous and a bit overwhelmed. The “what ifs” start pouring in – “What if no one cares?”, “What if no one shows up?”, “What if I fail?” These feelings are, of course, completely normal, however they can distract you from the importance of your launch. No need to worry – let’s get rid of those launch nerves before open cart day is here.
Take It One Day at a Time
It can be tempting to think about the finish line of your launch, but it’s important to stay present and grounded in the moment. At this point, it’s all about letting go of the tiny details – you can’t focus on a single email subject line or scrutinize if your sales page has a good color scheme. The most important thing is to get your offer out there. It doesn’t have to be perfect – it just has to be you.
Celebrate Every Win
Generating sales is definitely a win to celebrate, however it’s a good idea to celebrate every win. Take a look at everything that you have accomplished to prepare for your launch. Every customer that has engaged with you during your recent Facebook Live, every tech add-on that you’ve mastered for your launch, every email that had a great open rate – these are all aspects of your launch to celebrate.
Make Non-Launch Plans
Doing something that is completely unrelated to your launch can help keep you balanced and keep the launch nerves at bay. It’s important to schedule some time to truly take a break – plan a spa day, read a book with a cup of coffee, get dinner with friends, or anything that is non-business related to take your mind off of your launch. While your business and launch are important, it’s also important to not burn yourself out, and the best way to do that is by being nice to yourself.
Launching a creative membership is a fun and exciting time for your business. However, sometimes it can feel overwhelming and scary. (Taking risks and putting yourself out there usually is!) There are several ways to ease those launch nerves, so you can get through it feeling like the successful business owner that you are. Remember to focus on one day at a time, celebrate every win, and take time for yourself.
