Stop Conforming

 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.

Marketing Is…

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.

What’s next?

The artist is the perpetual creative.

He always longs for more and is caught in wonder about what’s next.

Here’s to setting our sails off the shores of complacency so that we may find new islands of opportunity.

Good News

Your music is yours and only yours.

The same goes for your story.

Own it.

Make it.

Create it.

Lead it.

Speak it.

Breathe it.

Live it.

Share it.

These are the things no one can take from you – AND, they are your competitive advantage as well.

This is the good news of all things entrepreneurial.

Now that art is involved….

Back in the day (not long ago), art wasn’t blessed within the lines of commerce.

We just wanted the news and maybe The Late Show.

We just wanted a pair of shoes.

We just wanted a hotel for the night.

We just wanted a cup of coffee.

No room for art here in these wants.

But that was then and this is now.

We just wanted a pizza when that is all Dominoes offered. Now enter Cane Rosso to open pandoras box on what you thought a pizza was. You didn’t know you wanted art with your pizza did you?

We just wanted to make mobile calls when that is all Motorola offered. Now enter Steve Jobs and with his cronies looking to bring sexy back with your phone. You didn’t know wanted fashion and art with your phone did you?

We just wanted to take a picture, but Instagram knew we wanted to make art. You din’t know you could be or wanted to be an artist did you?

Look at who is gaining market share and you’re going to find a bunch of artist, modern day hippies, ex-hippies, and so called “randoms” shaking things up and changing the world.

Intro to Art, in my opinion, is just as necessary as Intro to Business in your career development.
