Being vs Doing

I finished a book yesterday called Love Works by Joel Manby.

Joel ends the book encouraging us to focus more on our BE goals instead of our DO goals.

I had never heard it put this way and thought it would serve well for a Monday post.

Answering the questions of who am I, what’s my purpose, and where am I headed will get you to doing what you always wanted to do.

You’ve got to BE before you can DO and you’ve got to DO before you can HAVE.

It’s easy to have a product or service. On the other hand, its a reward to have a product or service that stands for something.

What Are You Avoiding?

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.

Not enough of us are brave enough to ask these questions – and even less of us are brave enough to find the answers.

Want to dent the world? Start asking questions.

Dreams to paper to pockets to realization. 2 Daily Actions That Have Changed My Life.

75 days ago my life changed.

I wrote down my Definite Chief Aim as Napoleon Hill encourages us to do.

Meaningful Specific > Wandering Generality.

I now read this allowed twice a day and carry it with me wherever I go.

I also met a guy named Grant Cardone who encouraged me to write out my goals and dreams twice a day at morning and night. It should be noted he encouraged me to write them in the present – as if they had already happened. This is action is full of power.

In the last 75 days I’ve seen more focus, more productivity, more fulfillment than I ever thought possible. Across all lines – family, life, business – everything has become richer and grown deeper roots.

When the dream leaves your mind and hits the paper it becomes physical. You no longer have to picture it – you can actually see it.

Now I’m finally getting clarity on where this train is headed.

I hope these steps can help you in the same way.

Godspeed in your music making.

Further and Further

Now, more than ever, success is going to require that you get further and further from the pack,

further and further out of the box,

further and further from standard operating procedures,

and further and further from limited thinkers and dreamers.

The rat race is noisiest and most crowded place on earth. The problem is you don’t notice the noise or the mass competition of the race when you’re there. The rat race will convince you that “this is just how things are.”

Did Usain Bolt race this past week or just do his thing?

Was Apple ever in a race to creat the first cell phone?

Wherever you’re looking to go or whatever music you’re trying to create think the opposite of rat race.

From here on out, it will only be the outliers that move further and further from all things normal and average that will succeed on massive levels.
