IX. Your Threats

Call your fears by their name. Look them in the eye!

As an artist you are exposed to so many different fears and threats: financial uncertainty, lack of attention, empty concert venues, black-out on stage, creative blockage and artistic stagnation, pressure from the “real” life around you, psychic instability…

How do you deal with all of that?

Take your time to ask and answer yourself this question: which are your most frightening threats?

Call them by their name and look them in the eye, one by one.

And then, take action: learn how to convert them into concrete problems you can rationally handle, solve and finally overcome.
