Yes, I have been deadline-resistant for most of my adult life until now. A few years ago, I had finished my music degrees, and the gigs that had come so easily to me stopped. I went quite a while without performing. And my self-confidence dwindled \u2013 I was a fish out of water. I then realised I had to take responsibility for making my opportunities. These brilliant ideas I kept telling people about (mostly my Mum and my best friend Amy, who I FaceTime daily) wouldn\u2019t be manifested without action. So, I reached out to JMI Live and asked for a gig. It was a few months into the future, so there was enough space not to freak out but a clear deadline. And I found my new method to make things happen \u2013 book the show even when you\u2019re not ready! This method can apply to any project really. Set a date and tell people about it! In this episode, you can learn about how to: \u2728 Bite the bullet and give yourself a clear date (even if you don\u2019t feel ready), and then reverse engineer your project.  \u2728How to ask for a gig at a Venue - ask for what you want!  \u2728Uncover resistance and coach yourself out of it.
