Now, on to today's episode.

I'm wondering if you can identify with a personality

type that I happen to identify myself with, and that is that of a high achiever. Now, a high

achiever is someone who just naturally always wants to be progressing, like isn't usually

completely satisfied with where they're at in any arena of life and always wants to continue to go forward and get better.

Which has been a great thing for a lot of aspects of my life and has really helped me out and been a great tool.

On the other side of things, sometimes it's actually been quite the detriment because not feeling satisfied with where you're at continually can be a

big problem and you have to learn how to manage that. Well, musicians and creative types often

identify with this kind of personality type. They want to move past musical plateaus and become

better musicians continually. So in today's episode, I want to talk about six

things you can do if you find yourself on a musical plateau and how you can start overcoming that

and also managing the feeling of being on a musical plateau. Let's do this thing. All right.

All right.

What's up everybody, Brent here from Learned Jazz Standards.
