Selfdoubt and selfsabotage and make creation go.
Selfdoubt. Can’t get rid of it. Flow happens when you do the work. Selfsabotage is not permited. If you want to do the work do it. Go for it. Don’t use your doubt. Call the bluff of resistance. I’m going to go back to be an insurance actuary. Flow will follow. Not the other way around.

Greatefuldead did not outlive their audience. New music that rythm with the old music. My audience. People who would rather level up. People curious, genereour and want to get connected. I have to repeat. I don’t want to replace my self. Dylan or the Dead.
How do you convice your leader that you can serve the same to the same people. Managements and leaders are a different thing. Anyone can be a leader. Boss is possible that order you something that it doesn’t make you proud. Are we doing this for a reason? If I can show you how to make profits go up, can I try that? If it works your call, if not, my bad. If you are lucky enough to have a good gig. They want you to become a leader. Diferent to being a manager.
