Stop Waiting to Feel Ready

James Hype. Stop Waiting to Feel Ready

The biggest mistake I see is waiting until you feel ready.

Take it from someone who's been doing this a long time. You never feel ready.

If that's what you're waiting for, you're never going to do anything. You only learn by actually doing.

When I first started out producing, I used to make a remix every week and put it on SoundCloud for the world to hear.

Most of them were shit. Looking back, I wasn't ready. But nobody remembers the bad ones. A couple ended up being quite good. People remember those. Those ones opened doors.

Stop waiting to feel ready.

What this actually means

readiness is a feeling that never arrives. you learn by doing the work in public, not by waiting until it feels safe.

What to do today

Reading about it doesn't make you better. These do.
