What happens when no one else seems to notice or applaud your efforts? Sometimes it seems like you are in it all by yourself and there is nobody pushing you or patting you on the back, like no one is there to encourage you. Picture this, you are on a stage, and you are pouring out your heart and soul into your craft, you are giving it your all, but the room is dead silent. Nobody claps, nobody cheers. Just silence. Here is the truth: consistency is harder when no one is clapping for you. It is time to learn to clap for yourself. --- Send in a voice message: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/sylvester-mixon-jr/message Support this podcast: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/sylvester-mixon-jr/support
