Welcome to "The Jim Kroft Podcast," where I explore the convergence of creativity and the digital economy.
Over the last year, I've spoken to many people:
- experts in their fields
- seasoned professionals
- those just starting out
I've noticed that many have a particular project they've never started, always dreamed of initiating, or feel so stuck they experience a mental block about making the first step.
One of my strengths is that I'm a great initiator. I know how to turn an idea into reality, whether in music, film, photography, podcasting, or freelance life.
For that reason, I wanted to make an episode where I draw from my knowledge for anyone struggling to start a project.
What are the nuts and bolts of a project?
What are the actual steps you need to take?
How can you prepare yourself psychologically for action?
As such, this episode is called:
How to Start a Creative Project from Scratch
In it, I'm excited to share a step-by-step method to overcome creative paralysis and kickstart your next project.
Here are the fundamental steps:
- Clarify One Thing: Focus on a single goal to channel your energy effectively.
- Start a New Journal: Begin fresh with a dedicated journal for your project.
- Brainstorm: Embrace chaos and log ideas without judgment.
- The List of 5: Pick 5 specific tasks daily to maintain focus.
- A Thing a Day: Commit 10 minutes daily to build consistency.
- Build a Sequence Chain: Use the brainstorm, list, and log method to create a feedback loop.
- Kill the Excuses: Resolve to stop making excuses and commit to your goal.
- Prioritize the Priority: Always focus on the most important task first.
- Bring People on the Journey: Share your progress and journey with others.
- The 30-Day Challenge: Commit to 30 days of consistent effort.
I have put a lot of effort into the video for this episode, with both text, visuals, and film footage from my own life and projects. Do check it out on YouTube if you have a moment; of course, all subscribes are appreciated!
