Fear

[jason1701]

I have been working on a business for almost two years, and I hired a company to create the SAAS.
We are about 90 days away from testing.

Up to now I have been able to pay with cash for all that I have done, but by next month, debt is coming back.
I have been excited about this business for years, I have been working really hard, but now reality is about to hit and fear is rearing up.

Fear that I won't ask the right questions in the meetings with the designers.
Fear that I will fail.
Fear that I will take years to pay off the debt that I am going to make (all in all, it would take 2-3 years, so not the end of the world)

all that fear is starting to have an impact. I know that the only way past this is doing it, the knowledge doesn't make it easier.
The good part is that I signed the contract, so it is too late to back out now.

I just wish it wasn't so damn scary!!
