"It gives me purpose, meaning, and direction, that for the last 15 years or so I’ve been completely lacking." I love this for you! Keep up the amazing work, Michael.
Michael, thanks for sharing your success story here! We’ve connected a number of times on AWAI posts/threads this past year, and I’m just so excited you’ve found opportunities to begin making an income from your writing! You encourage me, man. I’m working hard to build up a body of consistent content writing so I have a pseudo portfolio to be able to point potential clients to. I haven’t started reaching out to clients yet, and I’m scared to, honestly. But I’m hoping by getting some work published to show what I’m capable of will help me with the confidence to begin reaching out to try and land that first client. I’m continuing with AWAI courses to also help build up the confidence as well. Anyway… I’m just encouraged by you as I know you’re early in your journey as well. And I appreciate how you’ve taken a dive into this and it’s working for you! It gives me hope that this is a legitimate path for me as well.
Thanks for your work! 🙏 Looking forward to sharing more together. 👍
Thank you so much, Jonathan! That initial fear has been the hardest part of my journey, by far.
Mind you, some things are still hard even today, but once you push through that initial fear and doubt, it’s like something happens in your brain and you realize you CAN do the things that make you so afraid, you don’t think you could ever face it…
I know this moment (or something like it) is in your future - and I predict that when YOU decide you’re ready, you’ll do it, and you’ll do it beautifully.
I do feel like the one thing that's certain is God. Since I gave my life to following Him, he's repaid me with blessings greater than anything I could've dreamt up myself! Including this newsletter, and the success I'm having with AWAI.
I'm gonna push you a teeny bit, because I know you but I don't know you super well:
If you can write everyday, you can learn to write for a client (AND you can learn how to find those clients!) Whatever fear is holding you back is just that: fear. 9 times out of 10 it's not even something that will ever happen... and that 10th time, you can figure out a way around it.
If you want to work, Angela, (and get paid for it) you should be pursuing paid work, every day. There's no real reason why you can't do it.
I'm always rooting for you, Angela, no matter what! In the end, you alone will know what you're supposed to do; all the rest of us can do is decide if we're going to support you in your efforts, or not.
