Stop Waiting To Become Yourself

About this episode

Jim Kroft shares insights on embracing one's creative journey and the challenges of self-improvement.

Hi guys, This is an adaptation of a script that I wrote for my YouTube - I thought that the ideas inside it might be really helpful for anyone who is wrestling with themselves, their work or the question of how to get better. At the moment I am being called massively by my musical heart, and it's opening so many questions, insights and provocations about the next steps of my own creative life. It means that I am spending far more time practising again, and this single focus - of trying to get better, is reducing my overall time to tailor my "content" for different channels. However, when I think there is value in something worth sharing - I will share it here - and please forgive instances like this when I haven't adapted precisely for the podcast. I want to be led first by idea and if something's worth sharing, than by the vagaries of formatting. If you would like to join me on my YouTube you are most welcome of course!
