I am very excited as I succeeded in stepping out of my comfort zone and trying something new.
I noticed that a real estate website (http://www.bytheowner.com/) did not have an English language columnist to write about Home Staging. I wanted to do it but I was scared - (What if I am not good enough, what if I will not know what to write about, etc) but my friends pushed me....So, I contacted the owner of the site and offered him to write monthly articles for them. To my great surprise, he quickly agreed (after talking to me for a bit and checking my website) and I became their ''official'' Home Staging expert and columnist!
I had 2 days to come up with the first article to meet their deadline. I decided to keep it simple and start from the beginning - writing about what Home Staging is and why people should consider it.

And the key point of this story is: it's normal to be scared and doubt yourself but you have to do it anyway, it might be easier and turn out better than you thought!
It ain't bragging if it's true.
Congratulations, Sveta.
I wish you continued success.
