If everything was perfect, you would never learn and you would never grow. — Beyonce Knowles
Have you ever thought about starting something? be it a business, exercising, learning new skills, writing a blog, etc.?
Are you waiting for the right time?
I will share a short story about how I started writing on Medium.
For a few years, I was a reader on this platform. Medium was one of my favorite blog platforms. It is simple, clean, and easy to read. You can find many quality articles on different topics.
But being a reader is not the same as being a writer. So, a few months ago I decided to start writing on Medium. I am not familiar with writing on this platform or how to find the right niche. What I know is I love to write, so I kept going.
I write everything I know about the subjects I feel familiar with. And this post now turned into my 40 articles.
Sometimes you do not have to be perfect to get started.
