The Shy Musician – A Lesson For Us All

by | Oct 24, 2023 | Weekly Blog

What you see is what you get

Last weekend I met a shy classical musician who I shall call Carlos. His story paints a very familiar picture for all of us. It is the reason why we often find it so hard to perform at our best when in the public arena, or even just when others are watching us.

As you know my latest book Get Lucky Now! has just been published on Amazon. It narrates the seven secrets that lucky people use to achieve their successes, and how you can use them to get lucky.

In a nutshell Carlos is a world-class concert pianist. This is the good news. The bad news is that when others are watching him his performance becomes very wooden and is far from world-class. Even during a lesson with his teacher.

In this short video I provide more details. You can apply them to any part of your life when you know you are not performing to your best. Let me know how you get on.
