that your always going to doubt yourself even 25 years into this  
that self doubt and questioning if what your doing is total crap or great is what keeps you coming back…  
i was so frutrated aged appx 30 that it was taking me so long to get to a balance where i could enjoy the mixing but it comes slowly but surely…  
lastly find the talent…and then hold on!!  
the gear is fun but ultimately just a tool.
