Your Perfectionism Might Be The Biggest Obstacle To Success
A lot of us as musicians, artists, and creatives identify as perfectionists. We wear our perfectionism as a badge of honour because we think it means we're striving to attain excellence, and that excellence will garner us attention, praise, and ultimately, success. But being a perfectionist is not going to guarantee your success. In fact, your perfectionism might be the biggest obstacle to your success.
A Simple Tool For Better Decisions & More Effective Actions
There is often a gaping chasm between our values and our actions. That gap is bridged by our decisions. If you want to get leverage on yourself and take actions that move you towards your dreams instead of away from them, you can't do it by just trying to take better actions. You have to go upstream and address this at the level of your decisions.
How To Overcome Your Fear Of Failure

This over-identification with failure can totally immobilise us.

How To Reframe Your Fear Of Failure To Achieve Success
By far, the biggest fear that immobilises us and stops us from achieving our dreams is the fear of failure. We've been culturally conditioned that failure is bad. We're taught that it's safer to just not try, so many of us don't take risks for fear of failure. And yet the most successful people are often the ones who are willing to take risks. They haven't avoided failure; they've failed the most.
