Lack of Confidence.
I have worked with quite a number of people and have come to the realisation that many people are afraid to step out of their comfort zones. Risk taking and income are positively related – The more you are ready to take risk, the higher income bracket you can belong.bolsa de pierna decathlon

Okpede is humble and willing to learn. I love the way he consumes new ideas. His potential to become a great Sound Engineer is very high. But it becomes another story all together when he sees people. He looks so confused. When you tell him to “go”, he will rather hear “come”
Whether a sound mixer has 8 or 64 channels, there is one secret to decoding the sophistication you see on that board: Take your time to study just one channel strip – how the EQ works, how many auxiliaries or busses are available and their features, how to pan, the dynamic processing abilities and how to manipulate them. Once you get the hung of it for one channel, it is the same for even a 100 channel mixer. You feel intimidated when you see the several knobs, graphs, faders etc. but when you study just one channel strip you can apply that to all.
When Okpkede prepares for a show, he does not stick to his plan. Client begins to make all sorts of demands, some of them, outside his confront zone. Okpede is not able to talk back and tell Client, what you are asking for is not possible today. He tries to satisfy client without considering the “what ifs.” How do you feel when you interact with someone who has a first degree and you do not have one? Or with someone who holds a Masters or PHD? Do you notice that the most educated and or wealthy people will need someone to repair or maintain their cars or home etc? When the mechanic who is not a graduate does not work with confidence, know-how and alacrity, he can easily cause the vehicle to be involved in an accident. When you find yourself in the technical space, practice and exposure makes you very valuable. You are also an authority in your field when you provide tried and tested solutions to many.
There are cordless microphones that have only one switch for on/off/mute. There are others that allow the user to manipulate the frequencies, volume, interference or sometimes the pickup polar patterns. Though the sophistication adds to the cost, there are many sound technicians who feel that to use a microphone, you plug it, switch it on and say “try-one-two” and you are ready for a show.
When Okpkede meets situations during some events where his cordless microphone does not work at all, experiences several breaks or squeaky noises, those situations are communicating to him of some weaknesses he has. What Okpede needs to do, is not to turn a deaf ear to them. He must not tell himself that the next time he is sent, he will go with a different microphone.
Master your craft well and be confident about what you do. You will realise that people will begin to consult you. You might have learnt your craft through the vocational way or even through apprenticeship, but once you have gone through the mill and you are endorsed by your master, it takes confidence to win the trust of people so they can work with you.
Lessons:
1. Do not let others look down on you within your career space.
2. Analyze why things don’t work. Do not just go for alternatives.
3. Don’t be intimidated by complicated shows. Break them down into units and add them.
4. Lack of confidence in your service delivery equals poor sales.
