Launching something new, whether it’s a product, service, or creative project can feel like a rollercoaster. At first, excitement’s high, ideas are flowing, and your energy’s buzzing. But as the weeks unfold, it’s easy for that spark to flicker out. The key to a successful launch isn’t just starting strong, it’s maintaining momentum right to the finish line.
Knowing who your dream clients are is like finding your creative compass. It’s about tuning in to those who truly connect with what you make — the people who see your work and say, “Yes! This feels like me.”
