There’s Not Enough _______________.

False.

There’s an abundance of whatever you’re looking for.

  • joy
  • friends
  • hope
  • buyers
  • sellers
  • money
  • love
  • good people
  • time

Where things get scarce is with those who are willing to sacrifice the time, energy, and effort to draw and walk the maps to find the abundance of such things mentioned above.

The market will never take the blame – so we must.

If you’re thinking there’s not enough _________ in your world, perhaps the market is simply rewarding you with what you’ve been giving it?

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.

You’ve got a service, product, or idea and now you’re locked in the green room to dwell on its…

  • content
  • appeal
  • connectivity
  • engine
  • fuel
  • form
  • fans
  • followers
  • assets
  • market trends
  • edges (smooth and rough ones)
  • vision
  • weakness
  • strength
  • untapped markets
  • craftsmanship
  • trade-offs
  • vibe
  • truths and lies
  • purpose
  • design
  • pace
  • taste
  • feel
  • style
  • why
  • promise
  • hope
  • legacy
Ralph Waldo Emerson, once said, “People only see what they are prepared to see.”
Give yourself some time in the green room today for 2013’s benefit.
Success feasts on preparation.

Celestial Fire

George Washington once said we should “Labor to keep alive in your chest that little spark of celestial fire called conscience.”

For most purposes, the world will call today the last workday of the year.

But I’m hearing 2013 whistle at us to come on, keep going, and water and grow what was sown in 2012.

Open your chest and put another log on the fire.

Stephen R. Covey’s Definition of LTMP

In The 8th Habit, Stephen R. Covey’s encore book to The 7 Habits of Highly Effective People, he says “When you engage in work that taps your talent and fuels your passion – that rises out of a great need in the world that you feel drawn by conscious to meet – therein lies your voice, your calling, your soul’s code.”

  • You’ve been specifically wired. Plug in.
  • Something stirs in you. Expose that.
  • There’s need here. Fulfill it.
  • And then there is that small, green-light voice..the one that assures…the one that prompts. Lend it an ear.

This my friends is the formula to the music you are longing to make and we are eagerly awaiting to hear.

Let her rip.
