Getting Started - 1 of ?
Hi. I've given myself five minutes to write this so I can't share a lot of thoughts. The gist is that I'm struggling to get this website running. Now's the time. I have a small financial runway to get this up and running so I'm doing it.
It's really scary though. I've had hundreds of ideas for what I can do and dreamed about this for a long time but now that I'm trying to actually do it, I'm afraid of what might happen if I fail...and what might happen if I succeed. It's overwhelming.
But I believe the Lord is leading me to it so I'm using this quick post as a baby step to get me building momentum and make all of this less scary. I'm committing for now to make one post of some kind every day. These will likely be more of a blog-style post rather than educational but, something is better than nothing!
As cringe as the video above probably is, I do believe it is helping me. And if anyone else has ever struggled with fear of failure and procrastinated to get something going, I'm hoping that seeing me force myself to put one foot in front of the other, no matter how ugly or awkward it is, might somehow be helpful for you too.
Alright, five minutes is up.
