Listen "65. The Panic Pivot."
Episode Synopsis
"Is this the right idea? Is this the right path? Should I change directions completely?"
If you're asking these questions, you might be on the verge of what I call a PANIC PIVOT. This is super common for artists. We often think there is one golden project, one GOLDEN CHOICE, where there is no resistance, no stress, no troubleshooting, no self doubt, no politics, no shitty-ness along the way. We change our direction because we don't want to feel the discomfort of the messy middle and we want the immediate relief that comes with quitting.
In this episode I'll talk about how to identify a panic pivot, why we do it, and how to overcome it.
