Great roadmap! I can totally related to experiencing an increase in confidence and courage as I’ve joined those we know as substackers! TY

This is one of the many things that I love about Substack—that we can share our experiences openly (and if needed with infusion of humor). Thanks for reading!

The first time I published an article online it was on LinkedIn in 2018.

It took me about 15 hours to write and I was so terrified of clicking on the publish button I got my parter to do it with me.

Literally. We clicked the mouse together (actually that sounds a bit rude but it wasn’t).

Since then I’ve published hundreds of articles and the process is no longer scary.

But each subsequent step was:

Joining the partner program on Medium - scary

Sharing my Medium articles on social media - scary

Creating lead magnets and landing pages - scary

Starting a newsletter- scary

Joining a Mastermind- scary

Switching my newsletter to Substack - scary

Turning on paid on Substack - scary

Launching my first Black Friday sale - scary

Working on my first paid training course - scary

It’s all scary until it’s not.

You just have to push through.
