Why so many creators fail.

Many people come to me wanting to explore their creative side.

They have knowledge and skills they've picked up over many years.

They want to get into content creation.

They want to create a new income stream, and find a way to wind down from their main job.

They're looking for more meaning in their lives, and want to find a way to make an impact and leave a legacy.

They've been meaning to write more, but haven't been able to find the time.

We sit down and talk about it.

We talk about goals and, passions and talents.

We create a plan for their new direction.

But it often does not take long until we see little blocks emerge.

'I get writer's block.'

'I continually procrastinate on starting.'

'I hold back on publishing, so I have lots of drafts.'

'I am nervous about other people seeing my videos.'

'I don't know what to say...'

These are all indicators to me that this isn't a strategy problem but a mindset problem.

When we talk through various mental blocks, the channels open again. Insights about the joys of work emerge, and they get back to work.

They make progress because their feet aren't on the brakes.

One example of a typical mindset problem is feeling the need to create flawless creations.

If it isn't the best it can be, then you'll let down your audience.

You'll be outed as a 'fraud,' or not good enough.

And so, in your pursuit of perfection, you stall.

Nothing gets shipped.

But the truth is that you don't need to be perfect. You don't need to overwhelm your reader with value.

You only need to help in a small way. One tip that helped you goes a long way for another.

With less pressure, your performance skyrockets.

Getting your mindset right doesn't need to be a massive endeavour.

You just need access to the right ones, so you can internalise them quickly.
