Tackle Your Fear Incrementally

If you’re scared to do something, take it step by step.

For example, I meet many people who are scared to write online.

Instead, start small—create a private Substack with no one on it. Post there to get comfortable with the habit of sharing. Once that feels manageable, start sharing your Substack with close friends. Maybe commit to posting weekly. Then you can make your Substack public but you don’t have to announce it to everyone yet. Once you get comfortable there, then share one of your pieces on Instagram so that your wider network knows about your work.

You don’t have to dive straight into the deep end. Break it into manageable steps and build your confidence along the way.
