What’s the riskiest path you are willing to take that won’t put you under or bankrupt you if it fails?
That’s a line worth getting closer to.
Said another way…If it won’t knock you out of the game and it’s something you want to do or need to do, why aren’t you trying it?
You get another chance if it fails.

There was only one extra seat in the Maharishi’s helicopter and John Lennon more than the other Beatles was insistent on getting the spot.
When Paul asked John why…John said “To tell you the truth, I thought he might slip me the answer”.
(That story is from one of the anthology dvds. If you haven’t, go watch all of them)
It’s a funny story especially when Paul tells it…even though John knew the Maharishi wasn’t going to slip him the answer, there was that part of him that was really hoping he would.
The quick fix, the life hacks, the short cuts, the tweaks on the morning routine.
Podcasts and blogs and videos and interviews and articles and podcasts and more podcasts are great. But more and more I get the sense that too many of us are John Lennon hoping for a helicopter ride and the answer.
***It all has its place and purpose. Don’t over state the purpose. It’s tempting, but don’t.
I’m sure the helicopter ride was great…Revolution 9 is better.

You don’t have to believe that writing a blog about the music business (or whatever topic you’d like) everyday will make you better.
You just have to do it. And you’ll get the result.
No believing required.
Sometimes when you don’t believe you simply need to trust the people who do.
Writing every day will change you for the better.

If this is a nightcap to Friday night, I must be having one exceptional Friday night.
The plumber isn’t worried about his plumbers butt like you are because he’s busy fixing your sink.
Getting a little more gas in at the end just isn’t worth it anymore.
It’s a whole other level, not a whole nother level.
The best thing about bowling is that walk back.

Offering dessert isn’t out of the ordinary.
Offering dessert at the beginning is out of the ordinary. It’s strange…yet welcomed.
Dinner is going to start off a little bit better when there’s a little something sweet for everyone FIRST!
Offering dessert first is a little twist, a little finesse. And a little finesse goes a long way.
***Go ahead have eleven cookies.

The summer after I graduated from high school, I worked at a cafeteria table making factory in Minneapolis. A bunch of friends and I were doing it since the job paid well and we all needed the cash for college
There were two sides of the factory: making the parts and assembling the parts.
I was on the making the parts side.
So I would show up everyday and there would be a bin of thousand pipes that needed to be bent thirty-three degrees. Or a bin of fifteen hundred metal discs that all needed a hole punched in the middle.
Every day I showed up and every time I looked at these giant piles I thought there is no way on earth I’m ever going to make it through that entire pile.
And you know what…every time I was wrong.
I made it through all of them.
My eyes and brain thought I would never make it through, and I made through every time.
Just because I couldn’t see the success happening didn’t stop the success from happening as long as I kept working.
Sometimes you can’t see your way so you have to stop and wait for the fog to lift.
Sometimes you can’t see your way so you sprint as fast as you can until you’re not in the fog anymore.
The second one is takes a lot longer to learn and discern.
