These are the words I wish I heard more than a decade ago.
English is also my second language and for years, all I heard was “you aren’t a great writer” “you could be more clear” and of course “you’re too busy” — all from my inner critic.
This year, I finally broke free and started to write online with the help of Tim Denning and Todd Brison.
I love your message to start small and I hope many others like us see this earlier in their lives and take the plunge!
You summarized the key success factor to survive and thrive on the internet. Out of these finding our tribe makes a massive difference from my experience. Like you I see vulnerability as a strength as long as we can display humility and find perfection in our imperfection. Thank you for writing this insightful and inspiring piece which can also guide beginners.
Thank you for this very thoughtful response. Like you said, vulnerability is a strength that we all posses; taping into it and sharing it authentically with humility and without having vulnerability hangover (lol) is a part of the secret ingredient.
Thank you so much for encouraging us. Your words are so motivating. Fear is a sneaky beast we all have to conquer at some point in our lives. After reading this, I'm off to publish my first Substack post!

Beautifully said!
You have a story and it's an act of vulnerability (which is courage) to share it. And that's empowering.
This is the core of what I'm saying here too. To myself and others, whether introvert or not.
Let's hear all the stories because we're enriched by them.
