Get it Done – 7 day evaluation

It’s been a very productive week and I feel motivated.
In the evaluation it talked about Ask A Coach and although I couldn’t think of anything as I wrote, by the time I got to the end of the second sheet I realised that I have been putting something off for months.

I would like to ask a musician if he would play the piano for me.

My brain keeps telling me;
*that he is my partner’s friend, not mine. I somehow feel that my partner may be uncomfortable with this (although I haven’t even mentioned it, there is no evidence to support this thought.) I also don’t want the guy to feel that he HAS to help me out.
*that he is a real musician and I’m not.
*that I ‘should’ be able to play the part myself.

I have just thought that I could offer to pay him, that may ease some of my mental chatter. But I have no idea how much or how people in the industry do this.

So, I will try an intentional model.

C: My goal – to record my first song.

Th: It’s time to reach out to other musicians.

F: confident. (that’s how I want to feel…not how I feel right now)

A: I speak to my partner, I get the guys number, I ask him if he would consider this, I ask him how much his going rate is per hour, I write out the chords and rerecord them myself so I have something to give to him, I get clear on exactly what I want him to do, I consider myself his equal rather than inferior, I do thought work on this, I reach out to AAC, I journal my insecurities, I think of the next best step,

R: I reach out to another musician.

 

 

Answer:

You know what I love most about your thought? That you included “It’s time.”  Notice the big story you have about not reaching out sooner and all the choices you’ve made in the past.  This thought erases all that. It wasn’t time before. You weren’t supposed to reach out. But now you know what you want and you’re ready to do it. The only shift I would make is to add a deadline to your result, and the sooner the better. You’ve already thought enough. You’ve already picked the first person you want to reach out to. Now’s the time to just go.  You may not feel 100% confident, so what?
