The Quiet Trap

When artists & treps are poised to pitch, present, make a risky change, or face a room full of possibility, it's not the crash we fear—it’s that quiet not knowing whether we’ll fly or fall. And that limbo of uncertainty brews doubt, stirs panic, and keeps our insides shakin’ like a leaf on a tree! 

Ironically, once we stop fearing the outcome…we stop reaching for the sky. And when that happens our presentation, or our work becomes guarded, safe, and routine, and we become complacent. And while others may wallow and bask in the comfort zone of complacency, the professional artist, and risk-taking entrepreneur—the real ones—despise it.

Important because the comfort zone is not a destination—it’s a trap. And complacency? That’s when the lights go out on Broadway.
