Lack of confidence in your business

[Sander]

Has anyone else tried to feel a lack of confidence in the businesses you start? And if so, do you have any tips to overcome that state of mind?

I think I have some good projects going on, which will make value for the customers, but I'm a little afraid to put my name and face on the line, which is a bit weird, since I've run a solid freelance business which depended on personal contact to customers.

I could understand it if the projects was shit and I was trying to scam people. But that's not the case.

I don't know if it's because I'm still watching the projects as just small websites, which they are, because they're in the very beginning, and not "real" businesses, but it's hard to get it going for real, if I'm only behind it with 50% of my heart and not 100%. It's kind of challenging to get up to the 100%. Feels like I'm still seeing the projects like sort of hobby ideas, where I'm just playing around.

When you start a new business or a new project, do you spread the words to your friends, your family, put your name on the business and get into it with 100% from the very beginning?

Any thoughts would be appreciated.
