There always are and it’s often hard to know (and value) what they’re going to be.
Taking vitamin D everyday for a week isn’t going to yield any noticeable results so it’s easy to think it never will. Because if it were such a magic pill, wouldn’t a week be long enough to reveal its powers?
If you’re looking for fast results you’re missing out on the glories of long term affects.

I’m overwhelmed and have too many choices and don’t know what to focus on and I don’t know what to do next.
Well, what ARE you going to do next?
See, we get caught in that first loop. But the follow up question breaks us out of it and into reality. The answer to the question is much more telling and much more important and much more powerful than your anxious uncertainty.

Any extra thought that an artist puts into their live show often goes toward: what if something goes wrong?
What if a string breaks? What if the mic stops working? What if the tracks hiccup? What if the audience doesn’t really like us?
But on the other hand, and often overlooked…What if something goes magically right?
What then? Are you prepared to do something with it?
It’s worth considering.

I love this term.
Our definitions my vary a little, but we’re all pretty much on the same page.
You can walk on stage.
Or you can walk on stage with a little razzle dazzle.
The glitter, the detail, the spin move, the funny when you don’t have to be.
It’s the extra part,
It’s show biz, baby.
You can add a little razzle dazzle to anything and it makes it more fun for everyone.

You need to have someone on your team who is good at answering the phone.
You need to have someone on your team who is good at making phone calls.
Both of these rolls fall under the expectations you probably have of your manager. But not all managers are good at both.
Answering the phone has a lot do to with day to day operations and fielding opportunities.
Making phone calls has a lot to do with finding and creating opportunities and proactively developing and executing the vision of the artist.
Some managers do both. Sometimes don’t.
So you can have a day to day manager and a manager who flies at thirty thousand feet.
One way or another, you need both.
