Discovering your purpose
Fri, Aug 6 2010 11:42
One of the greatest gifts my parents gave me was the love of books, and the desire to do anything I set my mind to.
(as long as I had a plan to do it right).
I have conversations with friends and collegues everyday who are frustrated with being stuck and simply not knowing how to be able to make a living doing what they love.
Many of us spend our lives endlessly searching for the quick fix to fill us. I know I spent years, focusing on making money because that's what I thought, and was told, was the important thing to focus on. Yes, the great green does provide us with the "comfort" of having "things" around us, it doesn't really quench our thirst for fullfillment to do what WE love.
I know I have been given blessing to search and seek what I love. For me, it took a huge life changing moment to stop me to acknowledge what I had known deep in my heart, that I was chasing the wrong thing for the wrong reason.
So I set forth to follow my calling, and part of my work is to share this with others, and help others "discover their calling" then, drop by drop our little pool grows into a great ocean of fulfillment.
We spend our lives seeking to feed 3 hungers:
1) To connect w/ the creative spirit of life: At some point we become aware of the creative energy all around us.
2) To know and express your gifts: Everyone contains some unique talent(s) some discovered some yet to be discovered- for the undiscovered many seek fulfillment in countless ways,
the fastest cars, the biggest house, affairs, addictions, distractions from the day to day constantly searching for "IT". Many spend their lifetimes looking for the thing that will provided the fulfillment they seek.
3)To know our lives matter: Each of us wants to know that we will leave behind a reminder of their existence, a impression that we have left for others to see and experience after we have left.
Fulfillment is achieved by feeding all 3 of these hungers- we can make alot of money, have fame, but success w/out fulfillment means you are not feeding all 3 hungers!
DISCOVERY
First start with yourself- not the external demands put upon you or the situation.
Then, discover what makes you unique? Where do you find your joy and passion? When you connect with your passion your chances of success are HUGE.
Finally find peace / solitude- The greatest gift you can give yourself is a quiet space, maybe it is a favorite hiking path, a favorite rock to stare out on the city, ocean or open space. maybe a sunny corner of your favorite room. If this solitude place is someplace that takes time to get to, then create a space where you can find a similar peace of mind.
A client of mine, used posters, colors, and a ipod to replicate the beach in her urban space. This quiet place will help you deal with the starting w/ yourself, uniqueness, discovering where you find joy and connecting. Your imagination is a powerful, and FREE tool you can use anytime everyday!
WHATS YOUR ANSWER?
What is your ideal of "living the good life"? In today's society we are consumers, we focus on "things" the kind of car we drive, the designer clothing we wear, the cool new gadget everyone has, the neighborhood we live in. Distill things to these elements:
Living in a place that you feel you belong, with people your love and in relationships that work (including the relationship with yourself). Having the right work. When you focus on something you believe in with your heart & soul in a environment that represents who your are, and doing the tasks w/ purpose you have suddenly found the meaning for yourself, rather than trying to be something to everyone else.

Missed Opportunities bum me out!
Mon, Apr 26 2010 03:50
In the past 28 years in the music industry you have seen the fat label cat days-hot tub filled w/ beautiful girls 1 hairy backed producers, lighting cigars w/ C notes-
To the back on the street days.... The Fat cat is now an ol broken down Ally Cat after cocaine rehab. The beautiful girls are looongggg gone with the drugs and the money-
In a way today is like the old wild west, The old model of big label music deals is dead, and it's a Indie jungle out there what few "deals" are out there are not geared toward the performer making ANY money. The one thing hasn't changed is that it is STILL the Music Business- the smart and successful people are using basic business strategies to create and monetize the brave new world. Folks that shun technology and educating themselves about how business works will be find themselves forever treading in the same small pond with no measurable earnings from their craft.
Let me give you a couple of examples of missed business opportunities that happened this past weekend:
Example 1- Who to do business with:
A client recently asked whether they should do business with a particular organization who for $400 / yr would "promote" the "selected artists" to their in house Music Supervisors and Publishing company.
(It wasn't clear if your $400 suddenly made your "a selected artist" or THEY decided which artist was bestowed that title).
Beyond that, on the website in the selected artist publishing area the word MUSIC is Mis-Spelled as MUISC. If I was not hesitant to give up my $400 I now would be.
LESSON: CHECK THE DETAILS.
A much better investment would be have your $400 applied toward a direct & measurable result.
I would recommend a business assessment where you are provided with the framework you will need to insure you have a catalog which is properly cleared, licensed, THEN learn to to properly use the tools to develop relationships DIRECTLY with the music supervisors/ publishers. These folks are SO BUSY that when you have established a repoire, and have a properly prepared pitch for them you have maximized your opportunity for having your songs HEARD and considered for placement WITH the decision makers.
EXAMPLE 2- Where is the business?
I recently performed at & conducted a workshop at a 1st time GO GREEN Expo:
Granted in Northern California the GO GREEN mantra is a bit like preaching to the choir, but a good cause and great info for a FREE bring your family event.
IF YOU COULD FIND THE EXPO!!!
No where on the GO GREEN Sacramento website did they have the event address! or a QUESTIONS or FAQ link.
If I had not been performing there I would have given up looking and found something ELSE to do.
Needless to say it wasn't a surprise to me that the micro version of the Los Angeles Expo that I had previously performed at was a HUGE missed opportunity- & for all the business owners that paid money to have a booth at the expo???? money down the drain because targeted leads didn't know how to get to them.
LESSON: if your business provides a service- put your address on ALL of your marketing collateral INCLUDING the WEBSITE.
Website Content Review! make sure it's current and targeted DO NOT put any barriers between you and your customers.
EXAMPLE 3: What is your business?
Conventions & Expo's have booths filled with people selling you their products or service: Unless you can capture your audience in the 1st 15 seconds you have lost the sale. EVERYONE must have a "elevator pitch" (called this since you should be able to tell someone in the time it takes to get from one floor to the next who you are and what you do).
In music this missed opportunity happens thousands of times each day.
When someone asks you what you do ? I hear songwriters say " oh I'm a singer songwriter" REALLY wow! know if your a girl I assume you sound like Jewel or a guy John Mayer or James Taylor and I'm kinda bored with you.
What if you Tell me your a performing songwriter that sounds like Green Day doing a rockabilly jam w/ Sinatra developing your catalog for film & television Then I know what you sound like, and that your a developing artist with a interest in placement opportunities.
NEXT, the knowing when to and when not to pitch....
LESSON:
Every day you meet at least 5 people who are potential customers- properly utilizing opportunities, developing relationships so you grow your base so each DAY you have a minimum number of individuals BUYING something from you.
These are 3 examples reflecting missed opportunities for customers to buy something, or add to a strong foundational componant that you are building toward your dream opportunity.
You might not even recognize the opportunity passing by, unless you know where to look.
These are a couple of examples of area's I can help you:
BUSINESS ANAYLSIS-
ELEVATOR PITCHES-
ORGANIZATIONAL PLANS-
DEVELOPING REVENUE STREAMS-
1 HOUR CONSULTATIONS
If you are interested in learning how to make your passion a successful business let's talk! Face to face, phone, email or skype tele-consultations available.
I want to help you be successful, so you can help others succeed!

Creating mode...
Sat, Apr 10 2010 04:42
As an artist I find things to be cyclic. Creating a new release is a birthing.
Spring Gardens, digging in the dirt, and planting the seeds to go back in the studio... Creative seeds are scattered about in scribbles, and ponderings in the margin of books and journals.
Texturing music,
blending, sounds
and emotions
til it stands on it's own
Then shoved out of the nest to see the world.........
Behind the scenes you also get to take your lumps for not fitting in a box....
Not everyone feels comfortable being in a collaborative environment, they get scared, and I think the fear stops them from growing. Fi Fi Fo Fife-dom
I want to learn from everyone, What excites you about what you do ?
How can each of us use what we love so dearly to help others around us?
I think that is religion to give something with total love and let it help another.
You can check out some refinements I have made to my website under my services.
I'd love to help you discover, rekindle, or even make a living from what excites YOU.
