Chapter 2: Guidelines

Posted by admin on February 23rd, 2010 | No Comments »

In my first post I spoke about the premise of my blog and my vision: to become a world renowned musician and motivational speaker set out to prove that anything can be accomplished with a clear and powerful vision, an unwavering belief in oneself and a shit load of hard work.  This blog will function as a transparent, happening in “real time” platform for me to share all the steps I’m taking to proving this theory correct and fulfilling on my vision.

Here are the general guidelines and what you can expect from me in terms of this blog:

-I will write a post every Tuesday and Friday of each week.    My posts will not be no more than around 500 words (my last one was 511 words, this one 481 words.)

-I will update and share with my readers any steps I’m taking towards fulfilling on my vision, including physical steps like sending my press kits out to venues and licensing companies, as well as metaphysical steps like “manifesting” and the power of using my mind to visualize my goals.

-Practicing my craft hours and hours everyday is a given and I will not be blogging much about my practice or rehearsal schedule, unless of course somebody requests it.  Mostly, as I said before,  I will be blogging about the physical marketing and business steps I am taking, as well as the metaphysical steps I am taking towards bringing my vision to life.

-Lastly I will be blogging about my performances.  What I felt during them, and how I feel I could make them better/steps I’m taking to make them better.

-Sometimes I will post more than twice a week, or write more than 500 words.  These will be exceptions and will only be used to communicate something out of the ordinary or of great importance to move the story along.

I had a comment on my first post that said it would be helpful to give myself a “deadline” for when this goal would be reached, both to aid in the development of the story as well as light a fire under my ass.  My intention is 2 years, but my deadline is 5 years.  I will be writing about it from the standpoint of my intention…2 years.

2 years would mean that not only would I have to work my ass off, but also that I would have to use my “6th sense” so to speak.  In order for me to become world renowned in just 2 years, a quantum leap would have to occur which could only happen if I exercised not only hard work, but also the spiritual domain of synchronicity, imagination, faith and the power of belief.  2 years is only possible by having unwavering faith in the certainty that my vision will come to fruition, even though I don’t know the “how” of it all.

2 years is my goal and intention.

Stay tuned.
