If you struggle with low self-worth, perfectionism, procrastination, or self-doubt, then you might be making the mistake of letting fear into the driver's seat of your business.
Fear is a plague in our creative community.
So many of us let fear...
drive our rates down to pitiful levels (and keep us from ever raising them)
drive us working extra hours for free (so we don't "ruffle feathers" by asking to be compensated)
drive us to keep tweaking things for hours until they're "perfect" (even though there's no such thing as perfection)
trap us in a state of perpetual procrastination for all of those big things we know will push our business forward
It probably sounds obvious that fear is a terrible thing for you and your business, yet so many of us keep allowing fear to drive us every single day.
That's why I wanted to bring on someone who's literally written the book on this. The author of "Feck Perfuction" is a world-renowned artist named James Victore.
You may have seen his work in The Louvre or the Museum of Modern Art in New York, and I think it goes without saying that you don't make it to that level as a creative without annihilating fear.
James has managed to break free of fear and build an incredible name for himself, and this episode dives into his process for what he does when the "fear demon" tries to sit on his shoulders and tell him how to live his life.
