I took the plunge and told my inner-circle what I'm doinghttps://www.instagram.com/thewomanfounder/

I took the plunge my Elpha comrades! I created an Instagram @TheWomanFounder and I shared it with my 1,500 followers on my personal Instagram account.Why I did it: I'm committing to my journey. I'm all in on trying to launch my tech startup. I'm learning a shit ton and the journey is a lonely, confusing, and expensive one. If my story could inspire, teach, help another founder then I have a fiduciary to tell my story. How I'm feeling: Scared shitless. If I fail it will be so embarrassing because now everyone who knows me, personally, will know about it. I might fail, but at least I will have tried. *Just keep swimming*.What I intend on doing: Posting once a day, because I learn about 5,345 things a day. So I'll post my most valuable lesson of the day. I want people to know me, why I'm doing what I'm doing, so when I am ready to share my company I'm working on building with the world, maybe they too will want to share it with their friends, maybe they too will be able to see the impact that I'm looking to create and want to help further the impact. Maybe I don't have to go at it alone if I have a community who wants to see the company succeed, not only because it has a great mission and can change the world for the better, but because they believe in me too.I don't know, but a part of me feels like it's just me against the big bad business world sometimes, but a bigger part of me feels like, we're all in this together and if I ask for help, help will be there (queue the music).

telling those close to you about what you're building is incredibly hard - few people get that. i've been there and have to say kudos to you - big time - and congratulations. incredibly scary and exhilarating and all the feels - but mostly scary. my advice - when you're down connect with other entrepreneurs in your world who "get it". as much as others will want to support you you'll get the most from others who have been in your shoes and felt that fear and vulnerability first hand.
