The Best Laid Plans

First Monday of the month means a new Hum Love playlist on Spotify and Apple.

If everything turns out the way you hope it will and you achieve the mountain top of fame and fortune…not everyone will know who you are. Most people on earth can’t even hum a Beatles tune, or Michael Jackson or Beyonce.

And that might be a rude awakening. Not everyone is going to know who you are.

So once you live with that for a while you’ll probably realize that you don’t need everyone to create the career and life you desire. You just need some. You need enough.

What is the life you want and how many do you need to get there?

Layers Worth Peeling

As your fans or customers pull back the layers to what you do and what you’re all about, what will they find?

Will they peel back the layers to find even deeper beauty and intention…or will they find they would have been better off not peeling?

If they look closer will they discover a trail of beauty you’ve been building for them all along?

What would it look like for your thing to be imbued with meaning?

Doing It For Show

When you’re on stage it’s unlikely every single little movement you do is for show.

However, every single little movement you do on stage is part of a show.

Degrees From Center

If your style of music is only one or two degrees away from the kind of music that is successful and famous and generates lots of revenue…then it probably makes sense to stick with what you’re doing and simply wait for those markets to shift toward you.

However if your style of music is nine or ten degrees away from the kind of music that is successful and famous and generates lots of revenue…you might be waiting a long time for that shift. It might make sense to adjust your style to make it more likely enough people will latch on.

»» Worth noting…if you’re way off-center, having a plan (and patience) to build slowly will always give you the best chance to bridge the gap to larger markets.

Adding To The List

Brushing your teeth, taking out your contacts, washing your face, locking the door…the day doesn’t feel complete without these things. There’s a nagging awareness of incompletion until they’re complete. So you do them, without fail, every day.

The secret is you can add other things to this list. Whatever you want to add. Everything on that list is completely made-up and put into place by choice. And that nagging feeling is a gift of a reminder…use it to your advantage.
