The dreaded publish button. That moment when your finger hovers over the keyboard, second-guessing everything you've created. Sound familiar?
Today, I'm walking and talking about the universal fear that plagues nearly every content creator: publishing your first piece. After speaking with countless creators who have their equipment set up perfectly but simply cannot bring themselves to record that first episode, I decided to address this head-on.
What's fascinating is how this fear transcends experience levels. Even certified coaches and professional speakers find themselves suddenly at a loss for words when it's just them and the microphone. As one student wrote: "Every time I go to record my first episode, I completely freeze up. I don't know what to say. Does this mean I'm not meant to be a podcaster?"
The truth? This happens to EVERYONE. That awkward feeling when you're talking to yourself, questioning if you sound stupid, wondering if anyone will listen—it's not unique to you. What separates successful content creators isn't the absence of these feelings but their willingness to push through them.
My advice might sound overly simple, but it works: Record something. Delete it if you hate it. Record again. Keep going until you have a version you can live with. Because content creation isn't about perfection—it's about progress. You're in this for the long game, committed to showing up consistently and improving gradually.
Whether you're launching a podcast, YouTube channel, or newsletter, remember that your first piece won't define you. What matters is starting somewhere and keeping going.
