On this episode of Career Friday, I wanted to talk about NIKE. Just kidding! This episode picks up where we left off the previous one. Getting your tasks and projects done. I think it is safe to say that most of us have had a situation in which we didn't do something, didn't apply for something or sent a concert proposal to someone because of our inner voice. Instead of "just" doing what had to be done we sat there and thought why should someone care about us or what we have to offer. Well, this episode tackles those situations with real life examples from my experience and potential solutions. If you need help or would like to talk about your doubts in becoming or continuing your career as a professional musician, you can book a virtual coffee with me or a one-to-one coaching session on my website.
