I got what I was told was performance paralysis for a while. Just too many external factors that I weighed into every decision. Made it impossible to do my album at the time. So I took a break, came back to the studio with a lets have fun mindset. New singles are now coming this July and every month after. Reach out to collab indie artists.
Keep these coming brother!! I really look up to you not just as an artist but from I can see how you are as a man and how you move with love for yourself and everyone around you ❤ Keep being you! You’re a gift to the world!!
@frdiforartists 😂😂😂😂 wow bro you really serious about isolation man I love it 😀 the best part of this video when you say just move on to the next 😫😫😫😫 I'm soooo all over the place
Thanks Nic for sharing. Good tip and HUGE inspiraational content. I wanna be independent too and provide stronger for my family. 🔥. Excited about 2024... Much love. ❤✌️
When people find diamonds they don't want to share it. That's why I have the urge to not comment because the algorithm will further push it. Crazy how human nature is. Fck it ima share comment and like bros videos everytime.
Amazing video brother. I'm releasing 52 piano ballads this year. Been working on them all for the past 15 years. Almost all of them are already done so it's a matter of just uploading and releasing. Your book was great btw!
Decision fatigue is a great way to describe what I’m going thru rn. Been putting out singles every 2 weeks since July and am writing, producing, mixing and mastering all my songs. I felt like being a perfectionist and stressing over tiny details was making me fall behind and also made the process way too stressful/unsustainable. Now I try to ask myself “is this decision I’m stressing about a big deal or am I just blowing it out of proportion and setting unrealistically high standards?” That usually helps me place more of a focus on the bigger picture things that matter and not dwell over the small things that don’t as much. Great vid.
Bro…. PREACH. These are the things I always try to tell people. Especially younger artists. But can never articulate it so concisely and perfectly as this 💪🏻🔥
This has been my problem for years, overthinking and chasing perfection. Thank you for giving me the permission not to overthink it lol. your results and content are inspiring and I love the audio book 💯
Insane to me that your doing all this content your the part of the industry that realized you can actually make a living off music even in modern generations it’s increasing, the information you share is valuable I wish they understood that the tech made artist worth billions. Your ancestors smile. Love
I had a similar conversation (about the weight of decisions that hadn't been made yet on the project) with someone the other day, now I know I'm on the right track after I seen this because you took it a few steps further. Huge, thanks for posting 🙏🙏🙌🙌🕊🕊🎶🎶
These videos are dope bc nobody else that talks about how to make it as an independent artist are ACTUALLY making it as independent artists! Keep up the great work!
The energy in these videos is so refreshing. Tired of people yelling for my attention. Not to mention how simple it is... regardless of my streams I'm much happier as an artist simply making stuff more frequently. Still dialing things in, but I'm not gonna chill until I've got 100 songs on my backlog... I can control that metric. I think I'm about halfway there (I'm counting covers, btw)
Been loving the consistent mindset stuff so much! I tell people all the time that if/when i make it, your advice will be the reason! Can yoy make some music business side videos?
This is great advice and everything but if your the sole provider of your family wouldn't it make senes to hire a manager and delegate some of those things like synching, touring & brand deals INSTEAD of leaving massive amounts of money on the table simply cause you dont want to say yes or no? As indi artist those things are going to you / us money to keep the lights on and even be in the studio. 100,000 streams is only 400$ if your an indi reading this dont miss out on synch and brand deals if they knock on your door!
It sounds like you really don’t care about making good music. You just want to make money. It’s like a factory for you. That’s fine, I’m not judging but disposable music is not what I want to create. I think I need to find another way.
Please keep making these! Many creators can inspire people but Nic follows up the inspiration with detailed instructions on how to get after it! I read your book recently and to anyone reading this comment, just go get the dang book! It’s straight up gold! Appreciate you sharing your wisdom when most would keep it to themselves Nic. Without rambling on and on I feel like you’ve cracked the code on what it means to be human and live a purpose driven life. Much love brotha! 😊🤘
Nic if you ever need some nu beats, please hit me up. I could load you up with a library of totally fresh beats that I think would really inspire you. Discovering you has been a huge inspiration for me. Thanks for all the value you add the world.
Hey Nick thought this was good, wanted to say thanks. I’m getting ready to record/release my first few songs and I was doubting that they were good enough. Honestly, not all of them are my best songs but I believe in them and I needed to make a decision so the other musicians could learn them. I figured if I didn’t just start making music I never would. Felt good to get some validation from this video. 👍
facts , very important. Even in production, making a decision in your beats is just as important. Producers suffer from that as well. Finding that perfect snare or kick or sound etc. Just make a decision finish the beat and move on to the next. quantity is better as more quantity = better quality over time. you hinder your growth trying to make EVERY beat/song perfect
Love the vids, but the reason I try to make my songs ‘perfect’ to the best of my ability is because if I don’t; I will end up hating the song faster and not promoting it long enough
Love this content dude, still learning from you
The legend himself has arrived! Thanks for everything Connor 🙏
Who's the fook is that guy ??? kidding huge Fan
That’s real 🙏
Found Nic because of you and Brandman Sean now I'm learning from all of you 🙏🏽
Sage advice regardless of what you are doing in life.
"you put it off, it gets heavy"... so true
Facts have been spoken
Yeah, that interview with adam ivy got me interested. feels like you're getting some positive gears turning in my plans bro thanks.
I got what I was told was performance paralysis for a while. Just too many external factors that I weighed into every decision. Made it impossible to do my album at the time. So I took a break, came back to the studio with a lets have fun mindset.

Your book & vids have been incredibly helpful Nic, thanks so much for the more frequent uploads lately!!

Keep these coming brother!! I really look up to you not just as an artist but from I can see how you are as a man and how you move with love for yourself and everyone around you ❤
Keep being you! You’re a gift to the world!!

Time allocated doesn't equal quality. Thebests of experts (in any field) are best when they move fast.
Thanks.

If you ever need guitar work in your music I will be glad to send you some tracks on the house!
Love u so much for this. I feel its exactly what i needed to hear

Hello!
Thanks algorithm.
Perfect timing, got a bunch of releases coming up
You Just made me feel better:)
Preciate you for these videos bro! Helping me out a lot🙌🏽
Got you 🤝
"done is better than perfect" is my 2024 motto now.
Great video. I’ve dropped over 1800 beats and this is my mindset also.
Man I really love your stuff - thank you so much Nic!
I’d love to collaborate! Thanks for this!❤
These videos are dope bc nobody else that talks about how to make it as an independent artist are ACTUALLY making it as independent artists! Keep up the great work!
Taking notes, thank you

I like to see the underdog win🙌🏽 keep it up‼️😎💯
Progress over perfection. Love this way of not being too hard on yourself and allowing yourself to fail!
Been loving the consistent mindset stuff so much! I tell people all the time that if/when i make it, your advice will be the reason! Can yoy make some music business side videos?

Soon as find your channel, you upload a new vid lol. Appreciate the motivation ✨

thank you i love you loads
Great content Great advice 🔥🔥
This 🔥bro. Thank you for all you do for the Indie artists.

Thanks Nick. I stuggle with indecisiveness and perfectionism. I'm conscious of it and making effort to get over it.

So good! Decision fatigue is real. Plus as artists, we often wait for inspiration, which is not how you should make business decisions.
New artist here. Been watching many of your videos and you’ve helped me a ton dude!💯😁
Love the vids, but the reason I try to make my songs ‘perfect’ to the best of my ability is because if I don’t; I will end up hating the song faster and not promoting it long enough
Sound advice and such good wisdom; helped me a ton brother. Wow thank you. I got rocked by this.
You talk like a father would advise his children. Love your content!!!
