Hi everyone,
When we want to start a business at a certain age, we might experience doubts about the current technology. Many of us had no prior knowledge of online business behind-the-scenes technology.
There is this feeling of uncertainty that we would be able to learn how to use it and keep up with it going forward. I am sure some have even given up before starting anything.
I experienced this exact feeling when I decided to start my golf balls blog. To be completely honest, I didn't even know how WordPress worked. I had no idea how a domain was hosted, and I knew very little about SEO.

I was in my late 30s, and it would have been easy to think that I had missed the boat and would never catch up.
Luckily, I have realized that if I looked at it as a one step at a time process, I still had a chance. It turned out I was right, and I am glad it did not stop me.
How about you?
Did you ever fear that the tech gap was too big to overcome when you started?
What was the hardest technical hurdle you had to jump in the beginning?
Thanks for reading,
Dan
