Will you ever be ready to launch?

When you start talking about launching – out loud – to people who know you – you start feeling pretty good.

The reality starts to settle in though. Quickly.

And you realize – wait – now I actually should probably do this thing.

Well – a few weeks ago, I announced to the Fearless Launchers and some other people in my life that I was planning to do something that scared me…and get it on film…all in the name of Fearless Launching.

So – I did the getting it on film part – but then I had to actually edit it, record voice over, and do it.

Kicking and screaming. Dragging my feet. Coming up with different options so I didn't have to finish it. Oh yeah – it all happened.

Launching is like becoming a parent – you are never fully prepared for everything that happens.  The fun part is – that never changes even after doing a few launches.  You'll start coming up with new ways to scare yourself.  It's what we do as entrepreneurs – get excited about big ideas and then figure out how to make them happen.

Watch this video to get a sneak peek at what you just might experience if you join Fearless Launching…

Now – I know maybe the Space Needle isn't your idea of something scary – but for me it is. I'm a big scaredy cat from way back… Heights, small spaces… yeah good stuff.

    Amazing video! You caught just the right feel and emotion of exactly what we all face when wanting to launch and put yourself out there. Thanks Anne!

    I absolutely love this.

    “Don’t travel without a map”. You are such a smart scaredy cat!

    Congrats on facing your fear and launching a kickass programme that helps others do that too. X

    Glad you liked it – it’s not really scripted and I like it like this – feels very much me – and I’m so glad it inspired you! – Can’t wait to share our conversation next week!

    I have to say it was kind of funny watching Denis try to pull out very typical “reality tv” moments… She was very concerned about me for sure… and we decided not to show me at the top being a little bit of a freak – I didn’t even go outside! Glad you liked it! See you tomorrow!

  7. Anne says

    August 28, 2012 at 1:59 pm

    Yay! thank you Alicia! I thought of you and the other Fearless Launchers when I was talking – so I’m glad that it came through for you!

    Girl this was awesome!!!! I love how real you were…you were scared, we can all feel it, and we all rejoiced with you when you got on there anyway, and headed for the top. 🙂 That’s awesome to face a fear head on like that. And Mila was/is adorable!

    Anne, that was so well done, it gave me chills. It was fun to watch and also captured the feeling I have about approaching my own launch, scared. Thanks for sharing with us, so glad to know you and have your support. I have to work tomorrow at 1 pm but otherwise I am all in. Thanks, Kristen

    August 28, 2012 at 3:28 pm

    I was actually – and it wasn’t cinematic at the top – I stayed inside while everyone else enjoyed the view. LOL. I’m kind of a big baby… Thanks so much for always supporting me! xoAnne

    Anne – I love this video.
    I’ve watched it several times now.
    You really, I mean REALLY, capture an emotional part of the personal journey of launching something new into the world.
    Your course has been such an amazing gift and I’m so fortunate to be part of it.

    Lauren,
    It’s pretty crazy how honoring and acknowledging that emotional part of the process lightens the whole load of launch, eh? At least that’s my experience. So glad you enjoyed it. -xoAnne

  27. Racheal Cook says

    August 28, 2012 at 7:11 pm

    This was amazing Anne! I especially love hearing your lil’ say “Don’t be scared mama!” because I would be right there with you (I’m terrified of heights). Congrats on a kick-ass launch of fearless launching! xo

  28. Valerie says

    August 28, 2012 at 7:20 pm

    Anne!!!!!! You are amazing! I loved this video. I love seeing everything you have created. I can’t wait to see you at the RCRC reunion just so I can say “Well done my dear!” You are going to change so many people’s lives. In fact, I am sure you have already. You inspire me everyday. I’m launching, and I have fear but when I watch your video and hear your voice, it’s like you are holding my hand and saying “good job Valerie”. “Breathe”. “You got this”. Val xoxo

    Lovely! Going to try to join you tomorrow if I can swing it. Saw the link on Emelie’s page, then on the Creating Fame FB group so I came by to peek. You’ve got some big fans there. And now I’m thinking we met at WDS, right?

    Thank you so much Racheal – I felt like why not… let’s do something scary – even other people don’t see it as that… and the feedback from everyone has been so much better than I could have imagined!

  35. annesamoilov says

    August 29, 2012 at 6:40 am

    Val!!! I think I teared up when I read your message and email last night. Means so much to me because I look at you someone who changes lives every single day – I can only hope to do that!

    Oh I love this video. I have good ideas needing launching but I haven’t made a plan and I think it’s because I’d have to confront all my fears about it to do so… but eek, I want to do this!

  45. annesamoilov says

    August 31, 2012 at 11:36 am

    Fiona,

    Even when you know how to make a plan in other areas of your life – there’s often a disconnect when it’s something that really puts you on the line…

    I have a feeling all you need is a little prodding from people who are also confronting their own fears of launching.

    So – what are you going to launch?

    -Anne

    Meaghan,
    It’s a constant journey – and never ceases to be challenging. Thanks for your comment… I had a lot of fear around this video alone, so knowing that you enjoyed it means a lot! -Anne
