😵💫 Are you a musician feeling disappointed with the opportunities available to you?
😫 Are you super busy, filling all your time, but instead of feeling like you're making progress, you’re overwhelmed and stressed?
🎧 If that sounds like you, then check out my podcast episode A Drummer's Guide To… Making Space
💪 In this episode I cover the 3 most important areas to create space to cultivate the best shot at becoming a professional musician.
1️⃣ Create Space Mentally:
🧘♀️ Take time to work out exactly what the goal is and the steps you need to get there.
🏆 (If you want more chat on that front, check out episode 18 A Drummer's Guide To... Success)
2️⃣ Create Financial Space
💸 Starting by understanding, and minimising your outgoings, and then either creating a 6-month buffer or taking on only enough work to just cover those bare minimum expenses so you can spend the rest of your time and energy on investing in your career and ultimate goals.
3️⃣ Create Physical Space
📆 Create space within your life, within your calendar that can be filled with time to explore opportunities and devote time to really going for your goals. Going for things that stretch your abilities and surrounding yourself with people who are living the life you are striving for so their approach and mentality can rub off on you as normal way of being.
🎙 If this resonates with you and you’d like to hear more, then check out my podcast episode A Drummer's Guide To... Making Space
