🏴☠️Fear of Success Signals
I’m building a process that has 18 paying beta clients who have paid. Yes, they have paid, which is something that rarely happens for beta testing. The first wave paid $100 CAD and the second wave paid $250 CAD. Recruited by word of mouth. In production, the base rate is expected to be $300 CAD with additional service options. It is a gated service - not a SaaS. There is no client webapp - there is no iOS. The website isn’t live yet. It’s just me as the full-stack vibe coder, and my business partner. What worries me? Success. We’ve been getting positive social proofs from our clients demonstrating the product works. They enjoy it and it solves a major pain point for them. That signal means when we open it up wider, my intake needs to handle multiple signup, and the pipeline has to support them. It is supporting 20+ people now in various stages. I need to know it can handle 10 sign ups at once and 100 people in the pipe. When it comes to vibe coding, there are so many things you don’t consider as you build out your process. My advice is don’t rush based on the signal. You’ll destroy your reputation if your process can’t support volume. It might fail anyway, but don’t fail on something that could have been avoided. Jay
