Doubtful about starting?

Kai from Quora asked:

Why do beginners hesitate to publish their first blog?

When I first started, I hesitated because I was overthinking everything.

I assumed I needed a massive plan and become some sort of recognized expert status before I could hit publish. But then, I stumbled on a hypothetical question that changed everything:

"If your boss asked you to create a course based on your current job, and the deadline was tomorrow, what would you do?"

That was my 'aha' moment.

I realized I felt completely competent when I was doing the work for a boss (I’ve been in my role for 4+ years). But for some reason, when I tried to do it for myself (aka acting as my own boss) I suddenly felt like I needed a PhD and six months of planning.

It was a self-limiting belief. I was waiting for a boss to give me permission to show people what I already knew and had been doing for years.

Once I realized the challenge was entirely mental, the hesitation disappeared.

Thusly, my blog was born the next day.
