🔥 The scariest part is starting

Today's sponsor

Hi there, it’s Octavia.

There’s something incredibly powerful and incredibly terrifying when you choose to create something that didn’t exist before.

An idea starts to consume your thoughts. Those thoughts become a conversation. That conversation creates the initial sees for a potential plan.

And then, if you pursue it, that plan becomes something real that other people can experience.

But before any of that happens, there’s usually a whole lot of hesitation and a whole lot of overthinking. 

Can I actually do this? What if it flops? What will people think? What if I’m not ready?

I’ve experienced all kinds of similar persistent thoughts as I work on my book. And I’ve come to realize too many of us underestimate just how excruciatingly vulnerable it feels to start something new for the first time.

Especially when there’s no proof yet that your idea will work.

And yet, so many meaningful things only exist because someone decided to move before they had certainty.

So, today’s newsletter is about maintaining momentum when you’re building something new.

Let’s jump in.
