How to feel calm during launches?

I think it's impossible to be totally calm. But it's better to be excited than nervous.
For me, it helps to know that I did my best to prepare for the launch.
We'll be live next week. Here's our Teaser

I like tapping to release anxiety. For me I found that this works amazing. Plus, yes, just preparing to it.

As we like to say – we're cooking the product until it boils over 😄. Excitement means you care, and every launch is a new adventure! The key is knowing you've done your best, and for the tension – a few deep breaths before hitting the 'launch' button can work wonders. Good luck to everyone launching soon!
Staying calm during a launch is like asking a cat not to knock things off the table. Not gonna happen! 😂 But seriously, I love the idea of channeling all that nervous energy into excitement. And when you know you’ve prepped as much as humanly possible, it’s a little easier to kick back and say, ''Alright, let’s see what happens!'' Worst case, if things go off-script, at least you’ll have an interesting story to tell later!
I do not think one can be calm. Because the stakes are high. The moment of truth is just some time away. It will reveal how much right you were in understanding of your product and the need it solves. All your theories are tested. Does not matter how much effort one puts, but if the fit is not there than nothing you can do about it. Except going back to the whiteboard!

To be honest, I do not have anything for that. Well, the Product Hunt launch would not stress me so much (because it would be not my priority in terms of my own launch) – but I know that when I have other things that I am very passionate about and preoccupied I can be stressed so much.
And I can feel good only when I am sure that I did everything well – good preparation, checking it etc.
If you are launching soon, I wish you good luck and please, stay with your common senses because it is very energy-consuming. 😅
Fingers crossed. 🤞🙂
I guess the best thing you can do is enjoying it!! Don't overestimate it and make it bigger in your head than needed. :)
Launching soon!
“Let It be” by Beatles on repeat😁
Do the best and wish someting good happen
Same question! 😵 I think it's the mixture of excitement, anxiety, and expectation that makes it super impossible to remain calm down! 😣😣😣
I agree with you that, at the end of the day, everyone has done their best in preparing to launching their product... and once that realisation kicks in, that's when your mind gradually calms down... or so I think 😅

Have a walk and stay away from the network.
Stay calm during product launches by preparing thoroughly, focusing on what you can control, and trusting your efforts. Embrace the excitement and view challenges as growth opportunities!
Staying calm during a launch is like trying to meditate in a room full of hyperactive squirrels who've just discovered a lot of caffeine pills 😂
Just relax and let things happen. You've done all you can do before the launch and now the only thing you and your team need to do is to wait for the feedback of your users.
Launching soon!
Totally agree with the idea that excitement and nerves often go hand in hand during launches! For me, it helps to remind myself that no launch is perfect, and any hiccup is just part of the journey. Preparing as much as possible beforehand is key, but after that - it's about enjoying the ride and learning from whatever comes next. Deep breaths and keeping perspective always help!
Yep! If you've done all you can, there's nothing else to do but bite your nails and hide in the corner.. haha!
