Perfectionism, procrastination, and promotion anxiety hold back countless independent artists, but are these really separate problems or just one issue in disguise? Today, we dive into the internal blocks that stop music artists from finishing projects, putting themselves out there, and following through on their own strategies. We talk about the difference between healthy striving and self-protective perfectionism, why marketing fatigue often has more to do with mindset than method, and challenge the idea that a better strategy is ever the real fix when the real work is internal.
