This feautures my favorite quote ever by an artist about creating art. So good. tem.fm/blog/tem-coaching-tip…

Everyone you admire was once a beginner.

Pricing is a signal. What signal do you think it sends if you are the cheapest option for private lessons in your area? And what if you are the most expensive? Each is a signal about who you are and what you do and if you don't value your own work highly, others won't either.

There are so many paths forward and the tools to draw your own map have never been available to more people.

This relates directly to the latest TEM266: Err on the Side of Action. There's a huge difference between in theory and in practice and that only comes about through doing the work. tem.fm/blog/tem266

There's a lot of honesty in this thread about the challenges of being a musician right now. Guaranteed this will help someone realize that they are not alone in their struggles and that is a gift. Thank you, @rustiology.

I learned today that the term impressionism was originally derogatory. The powers that be will always be resistant to change - in the arts and in life. So if you are getting resistance, there's a good chance you are on to something.

You can replace creators with musicians (even though they are not mutually exclusive) and this tweet is still on the nose. On both counts.

This is a great visualization. The beginning of any new thing, when you don't even know what you don't know, is always the hardest. But we can't let that talk us into inaction because it always gets better once we get going.
