I have a new product, but I can't find the courage to share it here, I don't know why. What do I do?

There are probably times also when and if people check this. place. Or maybe I even asked my question on the wrong place? Where nobody looks.

I couldn't even find my post after going back to the list of posts. How will anyone find it? And answer it?

It is almost like there are totems, superstitions and esoteric traditions around sharing on any platform.

Useless.

At least you can talk all by yourself. It's very relaxing, spritually cleansing and purifying. Almost like yoga.

So you can't launch anything. As you can only be hunted by the best and most influential hunters. You can only be a prey. If you build something.

I feel you, I keep postponing my launch date until things fall into place, but they don't do that. Although what holds me back is worrying that the product is not ready yet and wanting to make sure things don't break. But - you already have successful launches on other platforms! You must've already attracted a great crowd and I bet that many people from HN actually also hang out on PH - is that not something you can leverage?

How to stop fearing self-branding 6 ways to be a natural when building your personal brand. "Adrian, I suck at talking about myself; I'm ashamed; I have nothing new to say; this is a bad idea!" I know. We are all like this. But your authority and expertise can only shine through if and only if you build it/show it to the world. Here are the 6 methods I use with my clients to overcome this objection. **"The whole world is a stage, and we are all actors"** Act it until you make it - a different take on "fake it till you make it" It's your chance to build your brand, and it happens with each word you write, every post, every comment, every small step you take. **Imagine you're talking about someone else** You'll be amazed at how easy it'll be to praise and appreciate this "other" person. We're all shy and fear talking about ourselves - but we don't have the same problem when talking about others. Express yourself freely, and it'll become second nature. **In the beginning, nobody cares** And it's such a relief! This gives you enough time to practice, get better, stand firmer on your feet, and begin mastering this art. Relax and remember: they all care about themselves, not about you. Not for now, at least. The spotlight effect is a b*tch. **Pressure is for the weak!** You have enough pressure on your hands already, you wear (too) many hats, and you juggle many running chainsaws in your business. Don't add stress worrying about this - you'll be fine. It's zero risk, very high-reward. Once you start it. **Turn it into a conversation** Forget about choosing the perfect words and transforming them into an oratorial speech. Keep it conversational. Rehearse it with your family. Call a friend and say it to them. **Talk, don't "present"!** There's awesomeness in resilience Don't stop - you know how hard it was to start this snowball; why stop it before it starts gaining size? Keep at it; sooner rather than later, you'll thank yourself. Brand building is an infinite road, but it starts with the first steps. These are it. They might sound stupidly simple, but they work. I've used this recipe with tens of founders, executives, and entrepreneurs wanting to build their brands.
