Just do it, now
Has someone ever approached you and told you that you are capable or really good at a certain activity, and your first thought was really? The worst part is you didn't know whether they were telling the truth because you don't see yourself quite as capable and that kinda sucks.
My question is why should we feel the need to review such compliments in the first place, and does it help you become a better person at the end of the day? Of course with the help of uncle Google, I literally typed in the search box 'why do we feel the need to analyse praises'. Turns out, there's something called 'personal growth' and this thing, or lack of it, affects everybody to a certain extent. It's the different techniques or assessments that we as people in our different capacities make and do to improve individual awareness, develop talents and potential, and this contributes to the realisation of dreams and aspirations. So, are you as a musician still in the category of 'upcoming' artist five years later?
The key to all of this is about stepping out of your comfort zone and no, it's not about taking your time because time is not waiting for you. And it's also not a thing of I'm still perfecting some areas and then I'll have my big break. It's about taking a leap of faith firstly in youself as a human being that will make mistakes and will learn. You will not know everything and that's the beauty of being human. Get comfortable in your own skin and trust yourself a little. Put pen to paper and list your strengths and weaknesses.
Trust me, the 'I got this' mentality doesn't take you far. Positive, constructive criticism is the cherry on top. Once you have a strategic plan in action, create a personal task statement and set objectives that you will live by. State and write down what you want to accomplish, by when and how you intend on doing so.
