The Missing Piece Of The Puzzle
You want to make a living from your music. But being a musician, being an artist, is not just a job for you and me. It's a calling. It's our mission. It's our life's purpose. It's the thing that lights us up the most. And it's soul-crushing when we don't get to do that. If you've been doing music for a while but you still haven't been able to make a full-time living from it, you can get discouraged.
Which Pain Would You Rather Have?
All human behaviour boils down to two fundamental motivations. We move towards something in order to gain pleasure, or we move away from something in order to avoid pain. If you've got a dream or goal that's important to you but you're not taking action to move yourself closer to that goal, which of those two motivations is driving you?
Do You Ever Feel Like An Imposter?
Achieving our dreams and goals often means we have to put ourselves out there more and be in the public eye. For a lot of us, this is way outside of our comfort zone, especially if you're an introvert. We're afraid of getting judged or criticised by people. This usually manifests as imposter syndrome. We think “Who do you think you are to do this? You're not talented enough, attractive enough, smart enough, educated enough, successful enough, etc.”
Are You Afraid To Put Yourself Or Your Music Out There?
As creatives, many of us struggle with putting our work, our music, our art out into the world. We're paralysed by self-doubt. We don't think it's good enough for people to hear. We're afraid of people reacting negatively and criticising us. We feel like we'd be humiliated if people didn't like it, so we don't even bother to share it. We say that it's not ready yet, and we engage in this perpetual cycle of perfectionism.
