45 The 200% rule for a successful career in Music. ( any Musical genre ) - replay

from Self Management and Mindset for Musicians - by Mike del Ferro · host Mike del Ferro - Pianist & World Traveler

In this episode, we unpack a truth that hits home for so many creatives: "If a great artist does not work, it's 95% because of a mentality problem." Join me as we explore why talent and skill alone aren’t enough and how the mindset of an artist can be the single biggest factor in their productivity and success. We’ll dive into the mental blocks that hold artists back, from fear of failure and perfectionism to self-doubt and procrastination, and discuss practical strategies to overcome these hurdles. Whether you're struggling to stay motivated, doubting your worth, or facing the pressure of creative burnout, this episode is here to remind you that mindset is everything—and changing it can unlock your true potential. Tune in and start transforming your artistic journey from the inside out.I’ve been hosting this podcast for quite some time now, and I’m thrilled with the success it has achieved so far.
