The Clarity of the Craftsman

This article seems to be backing up what was stated in the lecture, having a passion for you career.

Bluegrass is a type of music that this character Jordan Tice produces. He lives in a rundown home, but he had his first record deal in High School. He’s passionate about the music.

“Musicians’ career paths are idiosyncratic, often relying on unusual circumstances and lucky breaks early in life.”

‘Be so good they can’t ignore you.'”

Jordan Tice was happy to spend hour search day busting his ass working on his skills to become amazing, in a rundown old messy flat.

The passion mindset focuses on

• the question of who they are and connecting it to work
• what the world can offer you.
• Makes you questions who you are, and what you want, which is impossible to answer,

The craftsman mindset focuses on

• what you can offer the world
• leaving behind self-centred concerns about whether your job is “just right”
• Putting your head down and working at becoming your best.

You shouldn’t envy the craftsman mindset, you should emulate it.

Fighting the cloud of external distractions is an ongoing battle. What you produce is what matters, don’t waste your time wondering if you’ve found your “true calling” or not.

“You adopt the craftsman mindset first and then the passion follows.”

*idiosyncratic means distinctive to the individual.
