I used to think we had to learn everything before starting to write online.

But the reality is, that the more you read, the more you freeze.

Forget about perfection.

Embrace the journey.

This is my first piece of advice: Pack your bag and get started.

Learn to enjoy the ride.

  • Reward yourself for output, not outcomes
  • Connect with awesome people

These 3 things that kept me going when I couldn’t see any fruitful results.

Here’s the harsh truth:

The fun will keep you moving for a while.
