To stop being scared...

[Tanja]

Basically that's it, I'm just scared.

To fail or to be worse off than my slow lane, yet successful, freelance career.

And of course... and don't want to be scared. The funny thing is I've done some fierce stuff, I've done downhill racing (mountain bike) and stopped working for an employer just months after buying a house to start an uncertain freelancing career. But that was all within my comfort-zone.

Moving on to start a FastLane business, one where I have to step into the spotlight, create content and reach out and gather an audience... oh boy that's far out there-stuff.

I've yet to figure out how to use this progress thread, I'm not going to update it daily - I have twin daughters that are 10 weeks old (yes, I read Freedom vs. Children ;-) ) but I would be smart for me to find some cadence. So I'll start with weekly updates every Friday.

This week:
- decision will I focus on Dutch audience or approach wider and write in english?
- send first newsletter to my first subscribers (4 atm)
- write a blogpost on my personal blog about my journey
- plan content strategy for TFL business

thanks for reading!
