8. A Peek Behind The Curtain

Making Artists

Nov 15 2022 • 33 mins

I was inspired by episode 6 about your creative process and I thought it might benefit you and me to share a peek behind the scenes of how this podcast gets made. I hope to accomplish 3 things here:

  1. I hope it makes all you creatives out there feel less alone, no matter how your process works.
  2. I hope to debunk any myths you have about me, both as an artist and a coach.
  3. I want to show you the difference that coaching can make, because these are the processes I have used with myself.

For example, all of my recordings for these episodes have been late for internal production deadlines. I could choose to beat myself up about this, or I could coach myself through whether or not this is actually a problem. I do this with my clients, too. We work through what perceived shortcomings are actually a problem, then intentionally choose what things need to be fixed, and fix them.

What we usually find is that there aren’t many problems. When we reclaim the energy spent on things that aren’t actually problems, then we have more time for what we actually want to do. Things like making art, making our audience, or making money from our skills and talents.

Ultimately, it doesn’t matter if or how much your creative journey goes according to plan. What does matter is whether the art got made. A success audit is your key to problem solving, learning, and moving forward with the new information you have found.
