We all know the story of the Tortoise and the Hare. The hare was the faster runner and the tortoise was slower. But the turtle kept going, and in the end, the tortoise won the race.
I'm gonna be honest, when I first heard that story, I thought it was a bunch of malarkey. But I've come to realize that slow, steady steps will always outpace talent, and that most people who don't feel like they're talented don't show up to the party.
On the other hand, a perfectionist limits their potential because they will only participate in work that they can do perfectly. And let’s face it, most people don't become perfect at any one thing. Most of us develop many skills but none perfectly.
A perfectionist always has a ceiling in their work because they won't execute things that they're not very good at. On the other hand, a progress minded person always tries to make progress, regardless of how good or bad they are at whatever they are trying to achieve.
The bottom line is, If you can say you're better this week than last, you will outpace the perfectionist every single time, because they rely on their talent and abilities, while you rely on your relentless continuous pursuit moving forward.
As I was developing My Voice Mentor, I was pairing my YouTube channel up with my competition and the numbers were just so depressing that I was tempted to think to myself, Oh, gosh, what am I doing?
I wouldn't let myself go there, but instead I said to myself, who has the most potential for progress, me or them? I think I can go from 600 views to 1200 views.
I decided to start making progress. It won't happen overnight, but if I keep stretching myself, I'll be in the same space as the person I want to be like.
As a singer and mentor, my job is to provide a pathway for you to follow, because I've been through some of the paths that you're walking through now.
I want to tell you a great story that has inspired me greatly over the years. A student of mine had a learning disability and struggled even learning how to talk. She came to me to learn piano and didn't expect to succeed, but she kept coming up to bat and set herself up to succeed.
She was told she would never learn to speak, but now she's 26 and not only talks just fine, she also drives a car, and has never been in an accident. She's also learned how to play the piano as well as anybody. She's overcoming the odds and people like that light the world with their overcoming spirit.
Think about this, my piano student with a disability is one of my best students. She practices hours every day and is working her way through some very difficult material, and she has defied the odds.
You were born to also defy the odds. I set up the My Voice Mentor voice program for you because I'm rooting for the underdog. I believe in you and I very much want to see you win with your voice. And because you have listened all they way through this podcast. I can tell you are serious about your voice and I want to give you a free gift.
