Tonight we went live with a small focus group consisting of friends and family with similar situations to ours. Having felt I’d got us to a strong starting point, I decided to soft launch Needs Recommendation, with lift off falling between collecting children from schools and clubs and preparing the family evening meals. I had not banked on pressing send and immediately loosing my appetite. I didn’t think it would be a big deal, but as soon as I sent the link round the WhatsApp, I felt most uncomfortable.
Having spent a few months learning how to build this type of website and pulling this idea together, I was finally ‘lighting the touch paper’. I had 2 meetings today with amazing mentors, one of whom was critical to my ‘do i go for it or do i not’. The meetings were really positive and full of ideas and encouragement. It was go time!
I had not given thought to what it would feel like sharing the idea to one and all. We are fortunate though. The focus group didn’t disappoint. 9 New Members within minutes and an interesting message from a Support Group who appear keen to learn more….I’ll keep you posted. Further messages of support and so on we roll. Appetite back. Dinner eaten.
