Whenever we start a new skill there are often times of frustration and self doubt. We go through periods of anger and embarrassment as our capabilities fall short of our expectations.

This area of frustration is called The Gap.

It’s the distance between your competence and standard in any given skill.

Unfortunately for us, when we first start out with a new task or skill, our standards are much higher thant what we are capable of.

For example; You may have really good taste in music and be a great poet. However, if you were to pick up a guitar and sign something you wrote down, would it sound good?

Chances are it wouldn’t.

Now, as you learn the guitar and take countless hours of singing lessons, you’ll also continue to get frustrated if your song does not meet your standards.

It’s not that you’re a bad songwriter. It’s that your guitar playing skills and singing skills are just not where you want them to be yet. Because of this, many people quit.

Don’t let this happen to you!

Sure, we’re not all destined to be Rockstars or pop signers. However, you can increase your skills to a level worthy of compensation and acknowledgement.

It’s simply all about putting in the work and time to get better at your craft. Even and especially when your frustration is at it’s highest.

Trust me, we’ve all been there. This is a common for anyone trying something new.

Andrej and I sat down to discuss our challenges with The Gap and some tactics we use to push through and keep going. Because the only way to Bridge That Gap is to get to the other side.

Enjoy this episode of “No Rain… No Rainbows” and be sure to let us know how you bridge The Gap in the comments below!

Chances are you never really dove into that question with yourself. Even further, when something around you caught your eye, did you persue it or just admire from afar?

Every day we are given a chance to live our purpose and create our best lives. The only obstacle in front of us is the face we see in the mirror every morning.

What is your mindset? How disciplined are you with your routine?

Just listening to Sergio Loaiza, you can tell he has asked himself these questions many times and in many ways.

Being the founder of Pro Bros Production is just the tip of the iceberg for Sergio. He is a Photographer, Cinematographer, Marketer, Emcee, Visionary, Traveler, Explorer, and all around Good Guy!

You can’t sit in a room with Sergio and not get inspired.

Take a listen as we discuss the importance of a growth mindset and living with purpose. Sergio and I go deep on a number of topics as we recap hist story and share some valuable advice from our experiences.

This is “No Rain… No Rainbows”

This is an episode where we pull back the curtains a little bit and open up to our viewers.

Matt Snipes joins the panel this go around as we all share some of the biggest challenges we’ve gone through in our lives.

It’s easy to see someone and assume they have it all figured out. Things may look good on the outside but the reality is, we all have our struggles.

Part of being a Modern Man, I believe, is about acknowledging these struggles and pushing through them. Using your dark days to make the bright days that much brighter.

I hope my story, Tylers‘ Story, Charles‘ or Matts‘ story resonates with you and helps you push past your dark days.

“It’s not about what happens to you. It’s about how you react to what happens to you.”

Go out there and make the best of your current situation. I know it isn’t easy, but one day you’ll look back and thank yourself for being so strong.

Thanks in advance for taking the time to hear our stories. Please feel free to share some struggles of your own in the comments below.

Enjoy this episode of The Modern Man featured on No Rain… No Rainbows.
