438 - The One Thing All Artists Struggle 06/06/2023
In my many, many years as an artist and a mentor of artists, I've seen triumphs and challenges of every description. And while every artist's story is different, there is one thing I have seen that can get in the way of any artist's success.
I'll give you a hint: comparison.
Artists have a tendency to compare themselves to other artists and peers in a variety of different ways. And when you start to make those comparisons, you're treading a path that has led many an artist to give up.
In this episode of 5-Minute Mentoring, I go over why I think comparison is such a problem for artists, and how they can avoid falling into that trap. It's an important lesson, and you should really take it to heart.
