How to Completely Overcome the One Agonizing Puzzle Every Artist Faces

Got 99 problems? We won’t finish that sentence...but we think there’s one problem that plagues every creative.It’s the artist in the mirror. In this passionate discussion from one of our Creative Checkups, we dig deep into the mindset shift that can bring external problems into perspective - by making ourselves the focus of our problem-solving process. No matter how the industry changes, or how the culture responds to new challenges, we creatives have the power to change our circumstances by making internal and practical adjustments, instead of waiting for circumstances to change. Resource Links mentioned in this episode: 20,000 Days and Counting by Robert Smith The War of Art by Steven Pressfield Read our review of The War of ArtGod and Gigs RoadMap: Seven Steps to Real Creative SuccessDiscovering Your Authentic Self as an Independent Artist With Maria Z - Ep. 64Navigating Monumental Success and Constant Change with Daniel Weatherspoon, Jazz Pianist and Grammy-Winning Producer - Ep.54 When Music isn’t Enough: 3 Responses for the Creatives in time of tragedy.Other Resources Learn about The 4 Questions you need to ask before going Full-Time in Arts and EntertainmentDownload our free Checklist to radically improve your livestreaming concerts Make your LiveStream an OMG!
