Do not tremble; do not be afraid. — Isaiah 44:8 NLT

When was the last time you did something for the first time?

Can you believe it? I am writing an essay about my first experience as a podcast editor and producer? Seriously?

What do I know about editing audio? Nothing! Well not “nothing” but this is my first time! Just upload the program click on the editing button and press START!

How did you feel?

I am scared! I am apprehensive! I don’t know how!

And then. . .

I remember the greatest key phrase to get past fear! I don’t know how, YET!

  • Have you created a budget for your online business? Not YET!
  • Have decided what problem your product solves? Not YET!
  • Have you cleaned out the cat litter box? Not YET!

So this is probably a project that I would put off until the end of time, but thankfully I promised my co-creator, Michael, that I would have this done by Friday.

And. . .

It is Saturday morning.

And. . .

I haven’t opened the Anchor.fm app on my computer. YET!
