97. I'm the Problem, It's Me.
14 MAG 2024 · Welcome to Musicians Tip Jar where we talk about musicians and money. Where we have been unintentionally quoting Taylor Swift for years. Hi I’m the problem, it's me, Chris Webb, joined by my co-host and front desk attendant at the tortured poets department, Dave Tamkin.
“Being fearless is having a lot of fears, but you jump anyway” - Taylor Swift
Limiting beliefs among musicians can be all over the place depending on individual experiences, backgrounds, and aspirations. However, here is our list of the top ten most common. Our hope is to help you identify how you may in fact be holding yourself back for the very goals you desire.
Action:
- Identify the biggest limitation you are holding on to and write it down in the opposite as an affirmation. This shit works. If you don’t believe me, try it and see. What do you have to lose!?
** We know how valuable your time is, we appreciate you for spending this time with us and being a part of this community. It is our hope that you feel that sense of community here at musicians Tip Jar and help us spread the word to make us stronger together.
As always, Thanks for joining us and remember, there is already enough for everyone, you just need to know how to get it. Until next time, on behalf of Dave Tamkin and myself, Chris Webb. Stay happy, healthy and wealthy. It’s not what you are singing that determines your life, but what you are whispering to yourself that holds the power. This is Musicians Tip Jar.
