I Wouldn’t Start Making Content Unless
Summary
- If you're just starting, it's useful to document your journey from the beginning.
- Don’t position yourself as an expert if you don’t have the experience yet.
- Share your experiences and mistakes so people can follow and learn from your journey.
- When I started, I didn’t make content until after six or seven years in business.
- Having documentation of your early journey can provide valuable insights and show growth.
- Credibility might come later, so focus on sharing what you’re learning and experiencing.

How To Take Action
I would suggest implementing a documentation strategy when starting your journey. You don't need to position yourself as an expert; instead, share your experiences and mistakes. This not only helps you track your progress but also provides valuable insights for others who are in similar situations.
A good way to begin is by starting a blog or social media account where you post regularly about your day-to-day activities, challenges, and learnings. This is low-cost and can be done with minimal time each day. You can use free platforms like Instagram, Facebook, or Medium.
Focus on authenticity. People are drawn to genuine stories. Share what you're learning, even if it's a small win or a lesson from a mistake. This builds a relatable and engaging narrative that people can follow and learn from.
Keep a journal. It doesn't have to be public, but documenting your thoughts and progress can help reflect on your growth. Later on, you can decide to share these insights.
Engage with others who are on similar paths. Comment on their posts, share your experiences, and build a community. This not only increases your visibility but also provides you with a support system.
Remember, credibility might come later, so your focus should be on consistency and sharing authentic experiences now. This way, you'll have a rich story to tell and a documented journey that showcases your growth.
