Words…or la vie en words?

I crawled out of my little (or more like huuuuuuge) hole yesterday when I decided to finally REALLY go live with my website www.mistufi.com

The site has been ready for a while now, but maybe fear got the best of me? I even decided to create a Facebook page to share the “release” of my newly renovated website.

With FB, came Instagram and then I also posted on Twitter that it’s live now…but still tiptoeing around LinkedIn. Maybe this article will help with that?

Maybe I should have created a better launching strategy? Do I really want to use Social Media and sell my writing services all at once? Do I really need a newsletter signup on my site? Will my articles make a difference to anyone? Will I keep enjoying creating web content for clients? Will I be able to create an even more sustainable business? Will my work be great and perfect? Do I really have time to manage all that AND still have a life?

That was me the day before yesterday.

But I’m sure that was everyone before a major decision too. Many should haves, would haves and could haves.

What got me through the fear of the unknown and the self-doubt? Words.

Lots of positive words that is. Genuine positive words have had such tremendous influence on practically everyone I know. A simple “yes” can change our expectations and perceptions.

The best part of such positive words? Receiving them when you least expect it and from people you least expect it from (thank you HW for your words).
