Countdown to failure. Make it into a game.
Rookie salesmen - the best instruction they receive is not: go and get 10 sales. The best instruction they receive is: go and get 30 Nos.
The goal of 30 Nos means they won't give up before that even if they face a lot of shit.
A lot of pickup artists do this too. They instruct people to go and approach as many girls as they can with a made up opening line before they are rebuked a 100 times.
Counting down to failure works better in making sure you don't give up before you can raise your confidence level.
Action Summary:
Figure out what you consider your failure point.
Come up with a number. You need to reach your failure point that many times.
Eg: It could be 10 people asking you to stop playing your guitar within 2 minutes of you starting to play.
