Hello Everyone, I'm software engineer trying to become an indie hacker. I have no grandiose dreams of becoming ultra-rich. I just want to make enough without an employer to live my life on my terms. I plan on launching a Micro-SaaS that evaluates the quality of a lead. If you know anyone who is in marketing, real estate or could be helped by this tool at let all let me know. I'll send you a link to a short survey. I want to know the needs of potential customers. My greatest fears are that I will put great effort into building products that no one wants, I won't be able to create an audience, and I will be stuck in my unhappy career until retirement. That is a lot of fears you don't have to list more than one.

Launching soon!
Just launch it at show it to people. That's the only true validation. Doesn't have to be great. People don't care about polish if you tell them you're just testing your hypothesis, in fact they might lead you on the right path. Go forth and become independent 💪

I think, the fear of failure.

I fear of being rejected.

Love the honest and humble post. My fear would be losing a sense of balance. It's easy to get wrapped up in a whirlwind of intensity prior to launch, as I'm discovering!
@timothy_deitz1 Very true, and most of the people I've interacted with said they would have preferred to start earlier.
For me, it's the fear of regret. Chase your wildest dreams and ambitions - don't accept others limitations or beliefs because they don't often apply to you. We either win or we learn :)
