How to Avoid Product Launch Pitfalls for Your Small Business

I'm better at giving advice than following it and these video was a healthy dose of all things my "own medicine". It's been a while since I launched a Brand new product within my business so if you are right there with me or on the heels of launching your entire brand, this video is for you! We all have self-doubt, procrastination and tiny road blocks that feel like mountains to cross so often times we delay, halt or don't even try. That's what I've been ruminating on for a few months now so enough is enough and I need to kindly step aside and launch my tested products!

[@sissy2011100]

Omgggg I hear you loud & clear! Just don’t it!! This is me!!! Thank you for saying this out loud!!

[@UpsideGoodsCo]

You're Welcome!!!

[@justinhorrell2251]

I admire people who WILL admit weaknesses so i condone you!

[@UpsideGoodsCo]

I had to look up to see if this was a bad comment or a good comment. The condone threw me off - ha!

[@candlesbyty]

Felt this. This summer has been so great for my business because I spent half a year sitting on the makesy auras scared my community wouldn’t buy from me. Guess what? I am making so much more than clinging to my amateur clear jelly jars! I’ve had very few complaints about pricing which SURPRISED me! If only I did it sooner haha so glad you’re in it

[@UpsideGoodsCo]

I'm glad the evidence surprised you! Congrats!

[@jordanhansen3716]

This is my favorite video of yours yet!🤎🤎🤎 you’re awesome and the realness is so refreshing.

[@UpsideGoodsCo]

Yay! I'm glad it resonated with you!

[@ellefarrelly-xg3xd]

I watched this at the perfect time for my (non-existent) business … good to know I’m not the only one! The monologue in my head is scarily similar to yours 🤣🤣🤣 Thanks for sharing. I feel better that I’m not alone reading these comments ❤

[@UpsideGoodsCo]

Glad it was helpful!

Me! This is me! Firmly planted on that boulder right now. Completely overwhelmed with building my website, figuring out inventory, nailing down scents, and the absolute worst is settling on a damned label! The overwhelmed has turned into analysis paralysis. I need to get out of my own way and just make the f-ing decisions.

[@UpsideGoodsCo]

Kindly get off the boulder, my friend! :)

[@AmandaChadderdon]

Appreciate you 👍

[@UpsideGoodsCo]

Thank you!

First of all, your hair looks fabulous! 😀 These are the thoughts we all have. My daughter often points out that I think about these things way more than my customers do. Lol. I hate seeking perfection! But, that’s what I do. Oddly, I don’t seek perfection when it comes to house cleaning! Can’t wait to see your release!

[@UpsideGoodsCo]

First off, thank you! Secondly, it's doing you no favors in the long run so know when to get off the boulder and do your business a favor. Also, I get it with the house cleaning! You've got this! Also, part two is here: kzbin.info/www/bejne/aGOmqIpsrNNnoa8

[@Yellowrosecandleco]

I can so relate to this! I’ve been planning my candle classes for a year now and just now purchased all the things to make it happen. Good luck on the new product launch! I’m sure the diffusers will be a big hit.

[@UpsideGoodsCo]

So far so good, a few bumps, but I got there! kzbin.info/www/bejne/aGOmqIpsrNNnoa8

[@nyamekyebey1577]

Thanks you so so much I identified 😂😂❤

[@UpsideGoodsCo]

You're welcome 😊

[@mmegwen]

Exactly what I need to hear today! Thank you!

[@UpsideGoodsCo]

Awesome! Part 2 is live!
