I've just about to finish up my website and go live!

Now the problem, I'm both fightened and excited at the same time. I've been dreaming of this site for 2 years. I'm fearing success as well as failure. Is this normal?

How will I feel if fails? What if it does what I dream it will do and grows fast and I can't handle it?

Did anyone else have these fears? How did it turn out for you?

Thanks

I just celebrated my 4th Anniversary in September, and I sitll have both feelings! I don't think it ever stops if you continue to set new goals, there is that apprehension about can I get there, and then a feeling of, if I can, can I handle it and what's next?

Enjoy seeing your dream come to reality!

Fear is one of the great motivators. Don't worry about how you will feel, deal with that if it happens...IF it does. You should know though that most of the great successes came after people failed a number of times before. Succeeding in business is for the most part like succeeding at anything else. Before Neil Armstrong walked on the moon, years and years of failures preceeded that success. NASA didn't focus on the failures...they learned a little more from each one until they could finally cajole an astronaut to sitting on top of one.

Ideally, you've done a good job of researching and developing your businessplan and will work as hard as you can at your new venture and learn quickly enough from errors to recover...if this isn't the case and it doesn't fly...you can look back and say...I did my best, I have nothing to be ashamed of.
Good luck,
