8. Consistency does not equal having a boring routine
Hello to all of those brave souls - the entrepreneurs and musicpreneurs in dance music who are going it alone - making a living while building a life around your passion for electronic music.
You’re doing something most people question. Is there money in that?
A question I have heard a gazillion times. ever since I founded my company The Unicorn Mothership. Since 2015 I guide DIY DJs and electronic music producers who are ready to face the fears that limit both their craft and career in dance music - particularly through overcoming procrastination.
I teach them how to cultivate a greater sense of personal wellness and mental well-being which helps them to feel confident about their steps so that they can move the needle in dance music.
I have learned a ton since starting my business and wanted to create a space for myself as a CEO where I can just get raw and real my personal experiences, expertise and future vision for all things wellness and mental well-being in electronic music, mindset, spirituality, entrepreneurship in electronic music, and more.
Consider this the secret diary of an electronic music wellness expert. A place where I get to be all of me - no filter, no strategies, no nothing. So if you do decide to listen, that’s what you’re going to get.
PS. I decided to not care too much about getting it all perfect in terms of how it sounds. I just record these episodes on my phone and honestly don’t even bother to edit de-s or de-nothing anything. It’s literally as raw and real as it gets.
On this week's episode, I talk about consistency in dance music, why I think routines are boring, and how to approach consistency instead.
Any pattern in your life and in your music that is not serving, has got to go. Because you deserve better.
And you deserve to have it all, and all at once - which is possible, and on your own terms.
The question arises, how do you do this?
This is where prioritising yourself comes in.
You learn what wellness and mental well-being means to you, on your terms. How it fits with your energy, emotions.
Energy in motion, you see?
You commit, you create a sacred contract for yourself that you come first and that you will commit to practicing prioritising yourself each and every day.
“Consistency does not equal routine. Routines are boring and can kill creativity.”
In this episode I talk about:
The issue many DJ/producers think they have with productivity and procrastination,
The answer to more consistency does not lie in having a routine, or discipline,
Exploring what consistency really means and how to cultivate it.
I hope you’ll enjoy the episode!
