If you’ve been “almost ready” to launch your subscription box for months – or even years – this episode of the Launch Your Box Podcast is for you.

I get it. I spent 18 months sitting on my own subscription box idea, watching others launch, endlessly researching, tweaking, and dreaming. I thought I was preparing. But when I finally launched, I learned more in that first month of taking action than I had in all those months of planning.

The truth? All that research, note-taking, and idea-tweaking feels productive… But it’s keeping you from what you really want: customers, sales, and momentum. In this episode of the Launch Your Box Podcast, I’ll help you break out of perpetual learning mode so you can finally start selling your subscription box. 

How to Tell If You’re Stuck in Perpetual Research Mode

Some of the biggest indicators include:

You’ve gathered endless information but haven’t acted on it.

Your launch date keeps moving.

You redesign your branding more than you talk to potential customers.

You’re constantly switching your box idea after seeing others’ boxes.

You’re waiting for the “perfect” product before you launch.

Staying in research mode feels safe. There’s no risk of rejection, no hard deadlines, and no uncomfortable decisions. But every week you stay there is a week without customers, feedback, or income.

The Hidden Reasons You Haven’t Launched Your Subscription Box

Being “not ready” is rarely about needing more time or more information. Often, what’s really keeping you stuck is one of these:

Fear of Failure – Worrying no one will buy or that people won’t like your box.

Fear of Success – Wondering how you’ll handle it if things actually take off.

Perfectionism – Believing everything must be flawless before you launch.

Comparison – Feeling behind because your box doesn’t look like someone else’s Year 5 version.

Comfort Zone + Lack of Clarity – Staying in familiar territory instead of testing your idea with real people.

In the episode, I share stories from my own business journey and why messy action is always better than perfect inaction.

You can’t research your way into a successful subscription box business. You have to sell your way there. Imagine 30 days from now: your first boxes shipped, real customer feedback in hand, and a clear plan for month two. That only happens if you start now.

Stop waiting for perfect. Start building the business you’ve been dreaming about.
