Over the last year, I've been working to set up an online store (full story here). I've had many ups and downs along the way and felt like giving up (I even stopped for a few months), but I've kept working and pushed through the problems. I've tested the market and done as much as I can to check assumptions and give this project a fighting chance.
I've finally got to the point where I have a contract to sign with my fulfilment company at which point, I can get my website integrated with their systems, then order my stock. And then I can launch and start selling. i.e. achieve what all this hard work has been for and take the first step towards my dream of being unscripted .
You'd have thought I'd rush into signing that contract the second I got it. Instead, I've found excuses not to sign it for a week now.
Why? Because suddenly this all feels real and I'm full of doubt. What if I have another failure? What if I lose a load more money again? (this isn't my first attempt - I had an Amazon store). What if I'm not cut-out to be an entrepreneur? What if the script is there for people like me?
Logically, I keep telling myself that:
How did you guys make that first leap? What did you tell yourself to convince yourself to commit to going all in? How did you bounce back from a failure?

Logically, I keep telling myself that:
- I've tested the market
- I've learned so much siince my Amazon store
- I want to live Unscripted , so I need to make the jump
