Selling is a big part of entrepreneurship. So is launching products based on crazy ideas.
Most of the time we fear failure because we fear rejection. We want proof that people would accept our products the day we launch as we cannot bear to be rejected. So sometimes we dont even attempt to do what we really want to do because we are just so conscious of what people think of us.
This is so sub-conscious that we convince ourselves that we are perfectionists and have very high standards. Perfectionism is a multiplayer game. You cannot be a perfectionist all by yourself. If you were to develop products only you would use(and nobody would ever se you using it), you would make something that just about works.
One of the ways to overcome the fear of rejection is by de-sensitizing yourself to it. By bringing it on to yourself deliberately and, if needed, in a safe, inconsequential setting. A while back I heard of rejection therapy, which is an online group, which helps you with this process. Ever since I read their literature, I adopted my own(slightly dishonest) version of it and practiced it and got some great results.
