Today’s topic has come up a lot in my one-on-one practice and in my Making Artists Mastermind, so that’s what I want to talk about today. We’re often told to dream big, set the impossible goal, and believe wholeheartedly that you can get there. As an artist though, if the belief isn’t 100% there, that can keep you from taking the next step.

We don’t need to worry about what the Academy will think of your performance if you go to that audition. We don’t need to worry about winning a Grammy if that stops you from writing that song. Don’t think that big. Play for the next point, not the whole match. Stay in the game, one point at a time.

Have just enough belief that would have you showing up in your craft today. Accumulate enough of those mini-milestones, you will be on your way to being your best.

What can you believe that will get you to take the next step?
