What were your feelings when your product launch went live?

Question

Hi there! It's Mary here.

I've read a zillion instructions and tips on how to launch, but only a few have written about the purely emotional experience.

Tell me how it went, how nervous were you, what were your feelings? 
I also want to hear funny stories :) Looking forward to your answers!

I want to collect all your stories and sculpt them into a guide for people like me (a little unstable haha)

And in general, how do you deal with burnout?

Only expected 2 upvotes from posting the link to the launch on another forum, but did better than expected :).

I learned to not come in with any expectations (especially those of grandeur) and think long-term (today's performance is not an ode to how things will go).

You have multiple launches usually!

Alex Harris · Answer

@marynotj It has been great! But at the same time its really difficult to maintain momentum afterwards so we are working on a bunch of other relaunches

Answer
