Saying things like what? &quot;I do not have the time to make them happen&quot;?<p>If so, I&#x27;d say that&#x27;s more a matter of prioritization (assuming at least one project is underway). For example, I think we could all agree that working on 30 projects would be an ineffective way to spend time. Mark Cuban recommends &quot;1, not 50&quot; [1]. You have to pick your <i>best</i> candidate project and run with it, and what&#x27;s best depends on what your criteria are.<p>I think the term &quot;fear of failure&quot; is applied too broadly. Often this &quot;fear&quot; is more a healthy respect for the challenge of bringing highly functional yet simple experiences to your end user. Those experiences coupled with a product that solves a legitimate problem, absent any legal or bureaucratic barriers, is a recipe for winning. Understanding the intricacies of the challenge can make it difficult to find a single-threaded manner to work on it. It&#x27;s almost more of a logical bewilderment than it is fear.<p>If none of the ~30 projects are being worked on then maybe fear of failure or laziness might apply but it could still be a matter of prioritization.<p>[1] <a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;www.youtube.com&#x2F;watch?v=Sa5t-Hx8A7Y&amp;t=34" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;www.youtube.com&#x2F;watch?v=Sa5t-Hx8A7Y&amp;t=34</a>
