I’m looking to buy a noun.

It happens sporadically throughout our days. We make a food purchase here, a hotel purchase there, and purchase an insurance policy every so often. All these places, things, ideas, and even people, we buy in the blink of an eye. But there’s a lot more going on in the blink that we typically give credit to.

This is a conversation about one’s preference.

So if you’re looking to be the preferred choice, are you an easy ‘no’ or an appealing ‘yes’?

Sales 101: You gain appeal with questions, not statements.

Accumulation

All things we accumulate happen under the radar. We don’t see them individually until one by one they pile up.

So you didn’t eat the apple yesterday and you’re not at the doctor today. Proceed with caution.

The second best time to plant a tree is now.

Don’t Give Up.

Just because you don’t have all of the answers doesn’t mean you shouldn’t be wrestling with all of your questions.

Lean in, bend your ear, and Godspeed in your music making from your Q & A battle(s).

Free Marketing

…and by free, I mean earned.

  • Being present.
  • Enjoying the extra mile.
  • Personal responsibility.
  • Being human.
  • Recognizing another’s humanness.
  • Making art.
  • Making change.

It’s your humanity that gets shared, gets talked about, sticks with the recipient, and is what you want to see in your rear view mirror.

You’d be surprised what a Super Bowl ad can’t do.

Enter Today

It’s not yesterday. And it’s not tomorrow.

There are some handshakes approaching today. Be there. Be there with them. Lock hands, lock eyes.

There’s a hug you’re to give you in your story today. Give it well. Leave the recipient better than you found them.

Discover something new. Smile in reflection of the newness now known.

Tend your metaphorical gardens of life, relationships, and business. Till the field. Sow some seeds. Pray for rain. Harvest if something’s ripe.

Turn a stranger into a friend.

Breathe.

Laugh. Laugh hard.

See what the sun is touching. See all of it. There’s enough light to not just look, but also see.

And stop and listen to today.

Be still and quiet enough so that you may hear what today is trying to relay your way.

It’s alive. It’s with us. It’s here. It’s now.

Will you join all of the music that is unfolding around you today?

Music is 1% possibility and 99% participation.

Say yes.
