Developer turned founder, freezing on the marketing/sales side. How did you overcome it?

[sha]

I was a developer for many years and recently left my job to build my own products. I'm great while I'm coding, but the moment I finish and need to promote, talk to people, market, or do anything outside development, I freeze...

I think I was "spoiled" years ago in 2000s, when something I built took off on its own. Ever since, part of me still expects that "just building" is enough. It isn't, and I know that, but I still avoid the uncomfortable parts. I even catch myself now looking for huge projects just so I can stay in the building phase and hide from everything else!

For those of you who were developers (or just inexperienced) before becoming entrepreneurs: how did you push through this? Did anything help, books, coaching, habits, mindset shifts? I'd really appreciate any guidance!

Sep 3, 2018

I had a chat with Tony who describes how:

• One simple question got him unstuck.
• He's only been on Quora for 30 days helping people.
• He's only posted 29 times but is now top ranked for his subject matter.
• His bio sends people to a survey where he asks opened ended questions (as per the Ask book by Ryan Levesque).
• He's had 300 surveys and email addresses.
• He's done 5 free 30 minute coaching calls.
• One free coaching call converted on the spot to a $400 coaching package.
• His advice to people who want to start by building a website and autoresponder series.

CHAT  Thread 'The Art Of Conversation'

Jul 7, 2023

Someone asked for tips about becoming a better conversationalist.

I'll start by saying I wasn't always a good conversationalist, and was in fact excruciatingly shy in school and college.

I got better as I got older, and especially when I realised everyone is in their own little bubble where they mostly only care about their own hopes, dreams, and fears.

I realised no-one cares about me in particular, but most people are friendly. So if I say a cheery "How's it going?" as a greeting when I walk past people then they often say hello back.

Getting over yourself and not thinking...
