I'm glad you were able to find a way to overcome it, even if in baby steps. My passion is in making music and I know exactly what you mean in having to overcome that fear of failure. Thanks for reading, Ruda Adriane,

I can say that I am one of the offenders of such, though I am in a constant battle to persevere anyway. A while back I took a creativity coaching course (to become my own best client... see http://www.themuseisin.com for info) and discovered that many creative types suffer from what I like to refer to as creative constipation (ugh.. I know.. not a pretty visual). There are many possible reasons for it, which can range from self esteem issues to a plethora of various fears (of success... of failure... of change, etc., etc.). Oftentimes, though, it's because the concept of the idea is worked out, but not so much the method to get there, which is where creativity coaching steps in to provide some, well, steps... small steps, preferably, using the creators' innate intuition and past experience, bolstered by a plethora of tools, to keep putting one foot in front of the other. And it doesn't hurt, either, to have a bodyguard to watch your back. There are any number of reasons why people don’t carry through on ideas and/or goals.
