This is my first business, and I'm afraid of the amount of work that needs to go into the site.
I have to write content...promote...promote some more...but what about all my other writing? What about my life?

This is exactly what our friend, Steve, talks about. Ready...FIRE..AIM!!!
Do you see what your doing? I find it very interesting to point this out, because i have a feeling you will too!
Look at what you just said (i deleted most of it so to make it clearer). Your using the words...im afriad...im afraid.
Your afraid because your trying to AIM FIRST! (Rather than FIRE, then AIm)....Your trying to focus on your target (which is a good thing but over analyzing it can be self sabotaging at times).
As Steve best puts it, you are creating scenarios in your mind, the what if's, that you are overwhelming yourself to the extent of killing creativity! And then you get out of "tune" and then of course you will get writers block, and all other emotions around it!
Take it easy. Your analysing too much right now and worrying before even "fireing". Worrying is good as long as it will be constructive, but right now its affecting your creativity, so kill the worry, by uhmm maybe some dancing!!! (random thought hehe) or anything else just to step away for a bit!
Problems (hate that word) do arise, but you cannot try to analyze all possible problems and then let it overwhelm you to the extent you cant move.
Steve himself started off that way it seems. He lauched the site, and he took it slowly, experimented. That means he did fail in some of his experiments, but enjoyed the process whilst doing it, not letting it bother him, stayed commited and focused and aware.
Hehe i think i might have repeated myself here, but its only to emphasize on it.
Take it easy, and enjoy it all !! (Remember, gratitude article!!)
