Start Before You Are Ready
Overcome fear and doubt to become the person you want to be.
Many aspiring bloggers ask me how to start a blog and write articles as I do. I tell them just to start writing what they want.
They often get confused.
- What topic should I write about?
- What should I name my blog?
- What if nobody reads my articles?
- I’m not good at writing.
They have all these fears, doubts, and excuses. As a result, they end up not starting at all.
But I can see where they are coming from. When I began writing on the internet, I was as clueless as they were. I had the same doubts as they did.
Do you know how I overcame fear and doubt?
By going for it anyway.
I knew I wasn’t a good writer. I knew people weren’t going to read my work. Yet, I had this keen desire to put my words out there on the internet. And because of that, I kept going despite the fear and doubt I had.
I didn’t start writing to make money or get famous. I didn’t have the goal of becoming a professional writer as I do now. The only thing that helped me continue my work was my love for writing online. Period.
