Opportunities show up when you do.
My online writing journey began without knowing where I wanted to be. I was writing articles because I needed something to do during the 2020 lockdowns.
I enjoyed writing and sharing my work with people on social media. Although I cringe reading my old articles now (because they were horrible), I kept going — publishing and sharing my work online. That led me to a place I never knew existed — where opportunities came like never before.
People started approaching me on LinkedIn and Facebook with ghostwriting gigs. Some wanted me to write for their blog, and others wanted to collaborate. Some even wanted to learn from me. I got invited to speak on podcasts, host an online writing event, and share my journey with others.
My experience taught me that opportunities are always there for you; you just have to show up and become worthy to grab them. What do I mean by that? Most people overthink their work. Although they are really good at what they do, they keep themselves from sharing their work. They don’t show their creations to the world.
That’s a big mistake.
It’s obvious; people can’t give you a job or such opportunities unless they know about you and your work. And the only way for that to happen is when you show them.
