An episode... this episode is going to be on my creative process. Yes, my creative process. Enjoy the intro whichever it happens to be. Hopefully by this episode, I've gotten the new Table Rush intro together. But if not, I will be talking about after the coming intro, my creative process and how you can, if we can be aware of our creative process how that can help us so much.
Mischa Zvegintzov 00:35
(intro) You know when someone is selling from stage, and at the end, the audience gets up and rushes to the back of the room to buy. That's a Table Rush. My name is Misha Z. And the Table Rush talk show is all about bringing you the tools, strategies and tactics that you can use to grow your audience and inspire them to buy.
Mischa Zvegintzov 01:02
I'm back. Hope you enjoyed the new intro Table Rush intro if it was indeed there. The creative process is interesting as I it's being aware of my creative process is interesting and very helpful. And what's helpful about it is I see the pain loop piece of it. I get the inspiration. There's things that I want to do I want to create. And then it gets very painful to get the next indicated step. Usually I'll get to a point where there's a next indicated step that's incredibly painful. And I fight it and kick and scream at it. And gosh, that could take months, years perhaps, or weeks or perhaps a day. But usually the bigger bit of... the what I perceive as the riskiest creative point... Right? Perhaps need to put myself out there. Or the implications of getting that next indicated step. Or, or feels so great to me that it's a Herculean effort to get through it. And I'll kick and scream and do everything else under the sun then the next indicated step. And psychic pain, finally I kick and scream. Go deep into prayer and meditation, turn to God, source, whatever, I give all this to you. What am I supposed to do? How am I gonna get through this? I'm just screwed. And usually it's like, why don't you just do that next dedicated staff that's sitting right in front of you. And then freedom awaits.
Mischa Zvegintzov 03:13
And I was I have two big examples of it. One fairly recently, the summit and a feedback people people kept telling me oh, it sounds like this is your creative process. Oh, this looks like your creative process. And since I just went through this bit of my creative process with the Table Rush in the questionnaire, listen to the last episode, or couple episodes ago. Anyway, the questionnaire in the outline was fighting, next steps and all the turmoil it created in my life. Like should I stick with renaming the podcast? Which should I do? Who's my avatar? No, no, no, no, just ahhhhhh! I'm comparing myself to everybody and I start to get frustrated and resentment start to creep in and holy mackerel. I'm hearing I hope you are to please Jesus. I hope you're human too. Anyhow, this summit brutal man I you know, I turned what? In the best case scenario is a three month process seemed like it seems like a lot of people do it in six months. For me it what turned into nine months or something like that. That there was so much psychic pain of getting to incremental next steps. And so much messy action that needed to be taken. So it was committing to a headline committing to a summit name. Finally reaching out to the speakers you know...
Mischa Zvegintzov 05:00
The getting to the point of reaching out to the speakers was so painful, so painful, like psychically painful. Like I wanted to quit multiple times. It's actually... I was recently wanting to quit the 2CCX, as I was trying to get the questionnaire together and figure out my offer and all that. Because I have I know what I need to do for the offer, I just need to do it. But it's the next indicated steps to get there. Or I'm like, I'd rather just not do it. But the summit man, if you go back, what there six months were almost every day of episodes where I was just beating my head against the same wall. And what, at the time in hindsight, it was... what. In in the moment, as it was happening. It just felt like I was slogging through mud. Like, "all right, I can next little step is done." But then the next step, I'd be like, I want to quit. And when I finally made the choice, you know, got through... anyway, a lot of psychic pain, a lot of wanting to quit a lot of upheaval. And the feedback I kept getting, as I was talking to mentors, and things, my one mentor, John, who I talked to every week. He's a powerful spiritual adviser in my life. He just kept saying, Oh, it sounds like it's your spirit. It sounds like it's your creative process. It sounds like it's your creative process.
Mischa Zvegintzov 06:44
I'm like, Damn, you mean I get to be good through the psychic pain. Each time I get to be creative on a big creative project. The answer is "yes". So I this episodes a little all over the place, as a lot of them, but I hope I'm making sense. And bear with me... As I had clarity on as I got to the willingness to make the questionnaire which implied next steps of putting together get early, getting putting together the offer, and getting the questionnaire out to people.
Mischa Zvegintzov 07:29
Again, this is about how I can help you create a video sales letter and or webinar and or interview... based... what I call the winfomercial so I have this process, we go through the process, then we spin up a winfomercial. Where in effect I interview you and your natural amazingness comes out. You can point traffic to that product. And yeah, start bringing in some leads and some sales. Like an evergreen ad. And then also we can do retakes as we, you know, there's round one, let's get it done, and get it published. And then refine it. Well, I'll give the opportunity to do a couple of refinements to it. retakes. And also you get the asset at the end to slice and dice however you want, and have really cool content. And depending on how I see your you know what best serves you either we edit me out, or perhaps we might be in there as a foil to you. So we'll look and see what the best way to have that is.
Mischa Zvegintzov 09:08
Anyway, back to it. So that this is the ultimate goal of what I'm up to. need to have an offer around that. need to start finding customers for proof of concept which I am doing. but it's a creative process. super painful. The creative process was I go with this, so I encourage you to to so I was like oh I don't actually need to quit. That's just my emotional state. As I'm in my creative process, I start throwing a fit. Mischa throwing a fit; unfortunately for good or bad, is part of my creative process. I start stamping my feet at the universe. way away. I don't want to do this. No, wait. I'm gonna quit. Make it easy for me.
Mischa Zvegintzov 09:58
Anyhow, so you Yes, it's getting shorter though. So that was a really cool thing. The summit...took me an extra four or five months due to my fit throwing. My bouts of massive insecurity, etc, etc. This part of the process of the pain loop much shorter, I'm sure there's more creative pain coming.
Mischa Zvegintzov 10:30
I have one final example and I'll let you go. Way back in the day when I first got clean and sober... You know, there's, there's programs out there and their steps and all sorts of things. and ah, you know, if you apply the tools for sobriety, you can get tremendous relief and freedom. But how... and I would consider that part of a creative process. I would, I would liken it to the creative process. And that how I kicked and screamed at some of the required steps of the framework. And when the psychic pain got bad enough, by the grace of God, I capitulated which means I threw in the towel I surrendered. And was like, alright, I'll do that required bit. And, you know, that can be a couple year process. Oh, goodness, hope that makes sense. How is your creative process? Shine a light of awareness on it. And then perhaps you won't quit before the miracle happens. I'm done. Peace out. Cheerio.
