Feeling left behind? Read this.
I was scared at first too...
I know the feeling – when you’re just starting.
It’s easy to feel like everyone else is already miles ahead.
That lingering feeling of being “behind” can sometimes make it seem like you’re already out of the race before you’ve even begun.
But here’s the thing: it’s normal to feel that way.
Everyone feels this uncertainty at first – I did too.
It’s normal to wonder if you have what it takes.
It’s normal to fear failure.
It’s normal to hear voices of doubt
(even from friends who don’t quite “get” what you’re trying to do).
And yes, it’s normal to feel a bit lost, unsure of where to begin.
The truth is, starting something new—especially a venture where the goal is to make real money—is intimidating.
You’re stepping into a world you may not have experienced yet.
That initial fear?
It’s just part of the journey.
You might not know what it feels like to grow a following or have people reaching out, asking for your services.
And that’s okay.
All these feelings? They’re just the hurdles at the start line.
But here’s the key: those who keep going despite the fear are the ones who eventually see results.
And with just two months left in 2024, now’s a perfect time to set the foundation for your journey.
You don’t have to be an expert or have everything figured out.
You just need to be willing to take that first step and keep going.
The beginning might be full of unknowns.
But once you start seeing your account grow, once people begin reaching out, and once the payments start coming in
– that’s when it all becomes real.
The nerves will always be there.
Posting your first piece of content, answering a DM from a potential customer, even making that initial investment in yourself—it’s all scary at first.
But the more you show up, the more you’ll surprise yourself.
The things that once terrify you will become second nature.
So, as we wrap up 2024, think of this as your sign.
Take the fear, take the nerves – and use them.
I promise the thrill of watching your progress makes every scary first worth it.
