EP: 042 - Removing the psychological drag of past decisions - The Producer's Notes

Quite often, we end up carrying around a ton of psychological drag that holds us back from what we want to create. What's often so crazy about this is that the "past" we're actually get stuck in is the past of only 5 minutes ago. This makes things particularly tricky, because it seems harmless, or invisible.

Think about the boxer who loses a couple rounds. He has a choice to make: he can either focus on the current round, and how he's going to win it. Or he can obsess over what went wrong in those previous rounds, and let that destroy his confidence.

On this edition of The Producer's Notes, Host Jon Stinson talks about his own struggles with letting the past decisions of 5 minutes ago or 5 years ago threaten his confidence.

Listen now to get some ideas for how you can relive yourself of this type of psychological drag, keep your head in the game, and maximize your momentum towards living your artistic vision - to ultimately create impact with your music.

One of the most high-impact ways you can break through your current limitations, is to hire a coach.

Jon currently has limited availability in his coaching schedule at a discounted rate. So if you're ready to dive in and hire a coach that can empower you to towards your peak potential and executing on your vision, get in touch with Jon Stinson via his Contact Page.

World leaders have coaches, top performing athletes have coaches, world-class recording artists have coaches. Get yours.
