I’ve just shared this blog for the first time on Linkedin and Facebook. I wanted to start writing it January 15th (read the post on that date to find out why), but figured i’d wait to put it into the public space when i’d actually begun my first week in the new season of work.
And as I shared it on those platforms, I noticed I hadn’t included any images, so the link tile thing at the bottom of the post looks kind of plain.
The funny thing is, I’m really proud of how imperfect and bland it looks!
Because the fonts, images, icons etc can all be changed later. But starting there, fiddling around with account settings, bios, profile pics… this can all be a place to hide from the hard part of (1) actually starting to write, (2) writing daily and (3) pressing publish/share.
As the guru himself Seth Godin says, always start with the hard part.
What’s the part that scares you the most?
The bit that’s most difficult?
Where do you encounter the most fear and resistance?
That’s probably a good indicator on where the life juice is.
Don’t save as a draft.
Press send.
Ship it.
