Practice

To See the Whole Video, Go To - Practice Below is a transcription of this video Hey, this is Justin. I just wanted to talk to you about people who are feeling some pressure as you’re doing your video marketing, and usually it’s the pressure from not knowing what to do and wanting to make things perfect.

What I’ve taken up practice on, especially when I just don’t feel good about what I’m doing today or what I’m working on, is call it practice.

I say hey, this is all practice. What I do is I do five videos along a certain line, a certain theme, or a certain topic.

I practice and practice to get a little bit better, see what worked. That takes the pressure off and actually makes what I produce a lot better because if you think about it, it’s all practice.

Even the showtime when you’ve got the big performance, that’s still practice.

If you take the pressure off and say hey look, if I’m practicing, you don’t have to practice perfectly, then you have the opportunity to produce something great.

I was just listening to a podcast with George St. Pierre who’s one of the top mixed marshal artists in the world and he’s a jiu jitsu practitioner.

He’s a full mixed marshal artist. He says that when he’s practicing, he gets tapped a lot, which means he gets submitted, which means he loses.

He says there is no ego in actually getting tapped so he’s one of the greatest competitors of the world.

He’s looked at as one of the baddest people on the planet and while he’s in practice, he puts his ego aside and he actually gets tapped a lot by other people.

So that’s exciting to think about. That’s exciting to look at. If you look at practice, you have a whole other range of possibilities for what you want to do.

So take the pressure off yourself and just call it practice.
