Overcoming my fear

How to Prepare for the First Time at Anything
http://www.lifehack.org/articles/productivity/how-to-prepare-for-the-first-time.html

The first time for everything is always the most exciting one. Whether it is your first day in a new job or going on a first date, you will always remember those “first” times.

Not only is there a lot of excitement loaded in those events, but there is also a fear of some sort included. You may be thinking about whether or not you are able to perform well enough, or what the other person (or persons) think of you if you fail.

I’ve spent the last week recording tutorial videos for my free Minisite template and it took a lot of effort for me to overcome the fear of doing it.

What if I stumble my words?
What if people don’t like my English accent?

You know what, I’ve realised you can’t please everybody all of the time.

Hopefully the majority will appreciate the content (it’s free after all).
