Starting a solopreneur career meant confronting one of my biggest fears.

No, it wasn’t the fear of failure. I don’t mind that because I feel the benefits in terms of the skills and mentality I gain will outweigh the small, monetary loss.

My fear is the fear of putting my work out there, and hearing that it isn’t good enough.

I take a lot of pride in my work. Like most people, I don’t like to be critiqued.

But in my line of work, I can’t shy away from it.

To do everything I can to succeed, I have to put myself and my work out there, for better or worse, and I need to adjust my attitude to fear to do it productively.

This newsletter is an example of me trying to overcome my fears.
