"Failing Forward" [Get Some Grit]

from The Gritty Musician

Welcome back! Episode 29, "Failing Forward" is a bit of a mixed bag of a show. Follow along as best you can! First and foremost, GSG is now on iHeartRadio! We are expanding our reach to serve you, the listener, better each week. Check out the weekly Twitter poll for your vote on future episode topics! @getsomegrit On my most recent Indiana road trip, I listened to the entirety of Steven Pressfield's The War of Art, and consider it one of the finest books I've read in recent memory. Three big "take aways" include: Pressfield struggled with early professional failures, and his biggest commercial success only came about because he didn't listen to those who told him it would be a failure. Don't fall victim to comparison! Resistance to our work is very real, and evil! You can learn more about Mr. Pressfield at his website, www.stevenpressfield.com This is followed by a discussion on how to "fail forward" in all that you do, and the dangers of diminished grit once you reach your goals. I believe that this is one of my better recent episodes, so please don't wait to check it out! --- Enjoying the show? Let me know and tell a friend! I would love to hear from you, whether it be an encouraging word, your questions, or ideas for future shows! Our listeners are our lifeblood and why we do this show!
