Listen "160 - Common (mis)Beliefs"
Episode Synopsis
Is what you believe holding you back?
Are you a musician that has certain beliefs about yourself or others and what you should be doing to move your career forward?
Ellusive I know, well in my podcast episode A Drummer's Guide To... Common (Mis)Beliefs I address topics that seem to be coming up again and again in my one on one coaching sessions, and let me tell you, they’re not only not serving my students, they’re actually undermining them and creating unnecessary barriers in moving themselves forward, and I’d like to share them with you too.
The three most common I seem to be coming across are:
‘If I could be as good as ‘that person’ then I can have a successful career’
‘If I just keep posting consistently on social media, then musicians and artists will be reaching out to me left, right and Chelsea’
‘I don’t want to play other musician’s parts, I just want to play what I want to play!’
If any of those statements resonate with you on any level (and I apologise if you’re uncomfortable right now) then maybe it would be worth watching or listening to A Drummer's Guide To... Common (mis)Conceptions.
And if you want to lift the curtain further on all the other things it takes to be a professional musician, aside from playing your instrument, then look for A Drummer's Guide To... on YouTube and all good podcasting platforms.
