I love boxing.
A few months ago, I decided to hit the gym more seriously to build up strength and endurance for boxing. As part of my membership, they offered me a personal trainer to help create a plan and track my progress.
Right away, my first thought was, "I’ve been going to the gym for years—what is a personal trainer going to tell me that I don’t already know?"
Then I sat down with him… and damn.
The Power of Expert Guidance
The amount of new information I learned about my body, strength training, and endurance building was next level.
A couple of months in, I started noticing massive improvements in my sparring.
I went from flinching and backing up when a punch came my way…To charging forward with confidence, holding my ground, and controlling the fight.
And it wasn’t just because I was training harder. It was because I had a coach giving me direct, expert guidance and a structured plan to follow.
The Misconception That Holds People Back
For the longest time, I was surrounded by people who believed, "What am I really going to learn from a personal trainer?"
And I can’t blame them. I thought the same way.
But as the saying goes, "Be careful of the environment you choose, for it will shape you.”
I see this exact mindset holding people back in music production all the time.
“I Can Learn Everything on My Own” vs. “I Need a Coach”
Producers say,"All the info I need is out there for free—why would I pay for mentorship?"
And sure, the internet is full of tutorials. You can spend hours, weeks, even years piecing together knowledge.
But there’s a difference between having access to information and having the right guidance.
A coach cuts through the noise. They tell you exactly what you need to work on to get to your goals faster and more efficiently.
Clarity Over Guesswork
I’m grateful I chose to learn from experts because I thought I knew what I needed…But the truth is, I had no idea what was actually holding me back.
Now? I have clarity. I have a plan. And I know my time isn’t being wasted.
If you’re grinding your way through production, trying to figure it all out on your own, I hope this resonates with you.
At some point, you have to ask yourself—Do you want to take the long, uncertain road?Or get direct, expert guidance and hit your goals faster?
Your call. 💪🎶
