Think about this for a few minutes.
We are bound by our fears.
If we think about all the possible negative outcomes 10 miles down the road, we may never take that first step.
If we never take the first step, then we have already failed.
It feels like we havenāt failed because we never started anything to fail in the first place, but itās a comfort zone where nothing grows.
If we think positively and start then we automatically increase our chances of success because we have taken the first step.
Fear is natural and understandable, but please donāt let it kill your relationships or make you leave your dreams on the shelf collecting dust.
What would you do if you had no fear?
This is me, playing around with self-filming setups because itās time to start being consistent with my projects.
Progression Over Perfection. Always.
PS: This is a great movie, we all need to watch it again soon, if youāre going to watch it for the first time, itās beautiful.
Your purpose(s) are closer than you think and not as binary as you think.
You donāt need to find your purpose or search for your purpose.
Itās not something you find and then all your voids and are filled, itās a journey that constantly evolves. You may have more then one.

Your Network is Your Net-Worth.
Your relationships are everything. Your relationships within your industry, your relationships to your customers / audience, your relationship with your team members.
This is where you will build your reputation, your value and your repeat ābusinessā and this is where you can compound it.
Always deliver great value, itās as simple as that. I donāt mean great value as in lowering your price. Value as in your worth, as in what you can give and grow to your industry work, your audience, your fans / customers and your colleagues.
Give something valuable and have a great attitude and people will come back to you.
Snippet taken from the āPassing Pointsā podcast.
One of my mentors wrote a book, I havenāt read it yet, but this opening line resonated with me. (My thoughts went a bit off-topic, but itās still meaningful).
Fitness and Sports people know and do this very well, we can assume itās because thereās no other way, as if creativity and business can exclude repetition and create greatness, but no, just start and get your repetitions in to improve and build confidence.
And yes @aliabdaal I know, I need to get my YouTube reps in.

Letās talk about perfection.
We chase it, believing itāll bring that elusive ābig breakā weāre all after. But the truth is whether itās in our creative pursuits, business endeavours, fitness, or personal growth, any ābig breakā stems from consistent, progression, not a perfect product.
If youāre waiting for the perfect moment to start, youāre actually waiting for a āperfectā situation that you can control s
To give you the confidence you want as you think this will give you the perfect results that you want.
But Focusing on perfection is the very thing holding you back from your dreams.
So, start now. Stay consistent. Progress. With each step forward, youāll not only get better but also cultivate meaningful relationships, grow in self-confidence and build an audience who loves what you love. And that, my friend, is what leads to your real ābig breakā.

It was great to celebrate the release of Skeptaās Tribute to Amy Winehouse with a secret pop up street party.
I love what Skepta & Jammer are creating in the dance music scene and all on their own terms, this has been needed in dance music for a long time.
MAS TIEMPO, MAS TIEMPO, MAS TIEMPO.

Weāve all heard the phrase āItās not what you know, itās who you knowā.
Well, itās a bit different than that, I break it down here.

You all have a purpose in life, and the key thing is not to spend life trying to figure out what your purpose is or what ātheā purpose of life is.
You give life purpose, you are giving life purpose by living it and learning on your journey and doing the things you want & need to do as this will give you growth.
Whatever it is you want to do, do it, as long as it doesnāt harm others.
Do it because it is your purpose in the stage of your life.

Managing Overthinking Creativity:
Overthinking in life & creative industries is very common and can be demobilising for many of us.
This is an response to an answer to a question I put out on my stories.
One of my takes on overthinking is that we attempt to create perfection as a way to control failure because this comes from a place of fear.
