If you’re in the job hunt…

…please search, research, study, ask, ponder, mull, listen, and question until you find a medium that you can say something in.

You’re really on a hunt for a medium, an avenue, a canvas, a microphone.

You shouldn’t search for a job – you should find your medium.

An Entrepreneur…

…is simply one who saw something the rest of us didn’t see.

At some point this includes all of us.

What are you seeing that we need to see?

Show us what you’ve seen and you’re now an entrepreneur.

Everyone sees.

Few show and tell.

Will you?

Please do.

The Green Room

Let’s think of today as the green room prior to the stage of 2013. The green room is the space in the venue which accommodates the performers before they hit the stage and make their music. This is the room where the set list is made, the show is planned, and the Muse begins to whisper hints and nudge at the musician’s improvisation.

Give yourself some time in the green room today for 2013’s benefit.
Success feasts on preparation.

Words, Actions, and Music

There are some things words cannot say…we call those things actions.

There’s an aftermath that occurs when actions are taken because of one’s values…we call that aftermath the music.

Your music speaks where words fail and shows what actions cannot.

Music is your holy to-do.

Opting In

Instead of fearing the hard work, opt in for it.

Afraid to make the sales call, opt in and make it happen.

Concerned about showing your art to the public?…opt in for the gallery display.

What happens with consistent opt-in is a gradual move from fear to familiarity.

That speech that frightened you is now a comfortable stage.

The writing that was difficult to sit down and do is now a familiar part of your day.

We look at roller coasters a lot differently after the ride is over than we did while standing in line to ride it.
