What a Difference a Week Makes

From Monday July 16 – Sunday July 22, my eyes and ears crossed paths with the following truths and people.

I heard at a conference this week that – Success is your duty, obligation, and responsibility. Grant Cardone

Last night on Twitter I saw – Every time we see someone God made as just ordinary, we turn the wine back into water. Bobb Goff

At a lunch meeting I was told – Investing is not about your rate of return, it’s really about your spending. My Mentor

In the book I started on Saturday the author wrote – Success is never owned, it is only rented, and the rent is due every day. Rory Vaden – Take The Stairs

This is beauty unlocked in mentorship. This is the beauty found in the connectivity of social media. This is the beauty hidden in books.

This is why this blog is constantly about connecting, idea swapping, dreaming, learning, and changing. Because when we change, we then have taken the first step to changing the world.

Until we, musicians, are exposed to other thoughts, ideas, and expressions – we’ll just keep making the same old records year after year. Sure they may sell, but we won’t be fulfilled.

Happy Monday. #LTMP

Where’s Your Value?

The anthem in our business is that we seek to be value focused – which will achieve results – instead of being results focused and hoping to add value.

So your idea, product, or service isn’t selling?

Chances are the market’s perceived value of what you are offering is less than the price you are asking or charging.

The market never stops asking “where’s your value?” Check yourself.

Music Class

The reason so many claim that they’re not “musical” probably dates back to their elementary music class.

We never were just handed the mic or a drumstick with the opportunity to jam.

We were handed a 100 page book on reading sheet music, it confused us, and now we claim we have no music capability.

We were taught that music is very proper. We were taught it is mathematical.

Our Intro to Music 101 was a semester about rules.

The same goes for most business school classes.

Your Music

We are the only thing that keeps us from taking our music to the next level.

Not content with your music today?

Find a mirror and figure it out.

The Shine of Greatness

There is a voice that must be muted.

This voice says things like, “not now”, “not you”, “they won’t understand”, “not in this market”, “not a chance”, “what will people say?”….

It’s going to be scary on the road to greatness.

You’re going to have to retire your pride.

You’re going to have to go out on a limb.

You’re going to have to look foolish at times.

You’re going to have to give more than thought you would. More time, more effort, more imagination, more __________.

You’re going to have to be ok with people not understanding why you’re doing what you’re doing.

It’s your push against resistance –  it’s  your challenging of the status quo – it’s YOU being YOU that will cause you to shine.

And the more you shine the more we all will be able to see.

We are all benefactors when you live out the character you were created to be in your story.
