What Is It Like To Publish My First Linked-in Post ?

What is it like to write my 1st blog post on LinkedIn?

I believe trying anything for the 1st time needs going over a big hump (block) created by the mind.

It doesn’t matter whether writing my 1st blog post or 1st speech or 1st interview. It is the first time, that creates uncertainty, not because it is difficult.

As I was writing this post, watching my internal dialogue.

A couple of things went through my mind; such as

  • Should I even write a blog post in a world where there are so many well-established writers?
  • Is it worth it, when there is a technology that can produce beautiful content with few keywords?
  • Who would read my content & how would they judge my abilities?
  • English is not my first language, am I writing correctly?
  • What kind of value need I am adding by writing?

With that, I am starting a journey of writing. Let me take the inspiration from my other 1st time experiences. 

For my first speech, I experienced a lot of butterflies in my stomach, elevated heartbeat, and shaking hands; probably this is called fear of public speaking. However, after failing, practicing I don’t see those symptoms anymore.

I am happy to take the role of president in the Ashburn Toastmasters club.

Be original & authentic.

Thanks
