Could it be that the that thing you are least interested in doing is the most important thing you could be doing?
Meet the challenge.
Overcome the fear.
Success is probably summed up best in being defined as the road less traveled.
Don’t go to work just to avoid it.
We share what’s new and what’s fresh.
Constantly renew and stay fresh.
You, your product, your service, and your music will be shared if you do so.
“Sharability” is the key to growth in the modern era.
Think about how you bought that last album, found that great restaurant, or heard about that book you love…Someone shared it with you.
We are a world of promoters just looking for great things to endorse…that’s where you come in.
Do your thing and LTMP.
The average man is a conformist, accepting miseries and disasters with the stoicism of a cow standing in the rain.
-Colin Wilson, British Author
Stop.
Stop with complaining.
Stop with the coveting.
Stop believing you do not have a choice.
Stop thinking that someone else is responsible for your current course.
Stop accepting decent.
Rather, start.
Start something.
Start the pursuit of extraordinary in all things.
Start to dream.
Start to DO.
This thing is on you and your partnership with The Muse.
In-lieu of conforming start thinking differently. Sounds cliché, but give it whirl.
A mentor from afar of mine, Donald Miller, (that’s one who has written things that I’ve read and listened to, not one who actually has physically mentored me) once said: “You will either write your own story, or someone else will.”
I think the same goes for our music. We either will write it for ourselves or adopt the waltz of another’s noise.

For some reason we don’t always see these as they are, but as we want to see them.
Change this and you change everything.
Have a problem? No, you have a challenge. Big difference.
Have a job? What if you saw your job as a calling? If you don’t have a calling, then yes – you have a job.
Checking email or wasting time? Probably the latter.
See how things are and magically you start seeing how things can be.
This type of vision is one of the true marks of leadership.
Leadership sees the unseen and calls it out for everyone to notice.
Great marketing is rarely about the product or service.
It’s typically more about the hope the product or service holds.
You or your company must be believed in before your product or service will find acceptance.
Telling the marketplace what you believe is probably more beneficial than promoting your world’s greatest widget.
We buy people and companies – not products and services.
