Hell yeah! I feel I need to take this step to get over my fears. The fear of being unable to find a valuable product that people are willing to pay for and overcoming my perfectionism to market it... Excited for the journey
I agreeeeee with you big time on that perfectionism part. It's something I still struggle with. For example, even though I had known a tiny bit about Substack and considered moving over for 2 years, I stayed with my former account because I wanted the right time and the right conditions.
I'm curious, Maurice, what kind/sort of product have you tried to create in the past?
I can imagine, something a lot of people struggle with! Very helpful to hear that we're not the only ones.
I've sold funky socks via a subscription model for a few years. After that I worked on my phd and now I want to start something new that helps people more directly. What exactly I don't know yet. I have some ideas to help people spend less time on their phones, go outside of their comfort zones, and get into meditation.
Getting people to change behaviours require being able to get them to use their intrinsic motivation for their own good, or in some cases making the pain greater than not doing something about it at all.
I'm definitely doing this, but you already mentioned we don't have to wait till black Friday.
Let's see how it goes.

On that…

You have to be prepared to do that.
And I like the more direct help you’re planning
That's interesting, I believe that would be the difficult part. Does it require a lot of expertise and is it something you teach? :)
