The Confidence Gap

Have you ever started a project and then... just fizzled out... never finished it?

I know I have. Tons of times. Sometimes, no one noticed. Sometimes, everyone noticed.  

Over the years, though, I've learned one simple truth - It's a game.  It's a game I call the Confidence Gap. 

There is only one way to win it.  Stay till the end of the video below to see how:

 

 

Let me explain this a bit.  It all starts...

 

PHASE ONE: THE DREAM

As a creator, you think big and dream large. 

You aim high, excited to face any challenge standing between yourself and your Dream.

You study. You learn. You train. You practice...

... but then... 

 

PHASE TWO: A CONCERN DEVELOPS

You start to develop some Concerns. You think:

'Did I choose the right career path?'

'Why didn't that person like my work?'

'Do I know enough?'

'Am I using the wrong software?'

 

PHASE THREE: THE CONCERN BECOME A DOUBT

Before you know it, these Concerns become Doubts. Suddenly, you're thinking:

'I think I chose the wrong career path.'

'Maybe I'm not a good enough Artist.'

'I must not be good enough.'

'It's too late to learn new technology now.'

 

PHASE FOUR: THE DOUBT BECOMES A REASON

Eventually, these Doubts become Reasons. You start to tell yourself:

'This is the wrong career path.'

'I'm not an [insert your reason].'

'I suck.'

'I'm obsolete.' 

 

And, lo and behold, you've managed to build a giant chasm between yourself and your Dream.

 

Sound familiar?

 

PHASE FIVE: THE WORK

Here's the thing: It's still not too late. :)

Here's something else: The solution is simple.

 

All it takes to fill the void and bridge that gap between yourself and your Dream is for you to do a little bit of Work.

 

So, my question to you is:

What is the WORK that you need to DO?
