First off, you are not alone in Minnesota. There is a thriving startup community in MN but it's not as easy to find as in the Bay Area. Poke around and I am sure you'll find people to connect with. Second, as Gustamaximus said, you are obviously scared to be proven wrong or fail. That is natural. None of us want to experience the disappointment of believing in something so badly we spend months working on it and then discover no one wants what we built. Other scary thoughts in your head right now probably... What if the launch results in a big NOTHING??!! No users, no interest, just nothing. Paid google click traffic that just moves on after spending a split second on your front page. Even worse...what if there is a bug in your code and you accidentally charge your first user a million dollars on their credit card instead of your modest 10 dollars a year subscription fee and they Tweet their 100,000 followers how much your service sucks?! You will never get user #2 and your service will be dead within 5 minutes! Yeah...these things could happen...but, most likely not. All the difficult work is all ahead of you. Marketing, sales, retention, customer service, bug fixing, re-positioning, competitors etc etc. The launch is a non-event compared to all that's still ahead of you.
