Finding Your Voice: Overcoming Fear in Creative Endeavors

And I am not stopping this podcast, folks.

That's not what I'm doing.

I am researching and getting ready for the next one, which I think we've talked about a little bit, but it's going to be about how to start a podcast if you're a senior or a baby boomer, a Gen X, Gen Z, Gen Y, Gen anybody.

But it all has to do with the book and the new project, the Gray Hair Dave project, which is actually going to be called, as you already know, Gray Hair Voices.

And I think that what I'm having lately, too, is there's two things.

There's imposter syndrome, which is hard to get around.

And then there's also fear of doing, not doing it, fear of the fact that it might work and I might have to do things.

So, you know, it's the opposite of fear of failure.

You're afraid to fail.

No, I'm afraid.

I'm almost afraid it might succeed and then I won't know what to do with myself because I'll need to start hiring people or whatever.

I don't know, I'm looking too far ahead.

I'm thinking too much about it, and I'm in my head.

And I'm sure each and every one of you have been there, deep in your head.

So, of course, you're thinking, well, if I do this, who's going to want to use my services? And, yeah, you've got these ideas, and you know it's a good idea.

You do.

You just know it's a good idea.

But you've got to get yourself out there and push.

And there's nothing wrong with that.

It has happened to me a month or twice before where I get to a point and then I say, oh, geez, can I really do this? And this is a personal problem for me.

And here is my promise to you, which is also a promise to me.

Because if I'm promising you, you guys are going to hold me accountable.

And you're going to hold me accountable.

So...

I promise I'm going to start this.
