Just to start this out on the right foot - If you have hair & your hair is done, you don’t need anything else.   Shifting mindset… What does that mean to you?   What does commitment mean to you?   Do you think that they correlate?   If you can’t commit to YOURSELF how are you supposed to commit to anything else?   Most days you probably don’t want to commit to what you originally committed to,...

Being humble… Artists are notorious for having an ego about their art.
