Moments with an Artist
I really do feel that the world conspires to bring you amazing things if you are open to them.
Moving Up In Life
It has been accurately stated that when you hire somebody smarter than yourself, you prove you are smarter than they are. We can apply that to all areas of ability. The sales manager should strive diligently to hire sales people who are better at selling than he or she is. That way they can share information and they will both be even more effective. Also, by continuing to learn from each sales person, the manager will stay one step ahead of all of them. Exactly the same thing applies in coaching. A good head coach seeks assistant coaches who know more about their specialty than he does and he learns from them. Ditto for managers in manufacturing, engineering, architecture, etc.
Leadership
A team of all-stars or an all-star team? When my wife and I were in Sydney, Australia, we had an opportunity to attend a performance of the Sydney Philharmonic Orchestra at the famed Opera House. The seats were choice, our night was free, so we jumped at the opportunity. When we arrived 30 minutes early, the orchestra members were already warming up. The individuals came in all sizes, ages and colors, and were both male and female. Some of them, like the cymbals player, would perform five or six seconds during the entire evening, while the cellist had one part that would extend over 20 minutes. As they warmed up, the "music" sounded like noise to me.
Professional Sales and the All-Star Jazz Performance
Professional Selling is just like being in the All-Star Jazz Ensemble. It's being so good and so experienced, that one can perform perfectly, on demand, in any environment, despite tremendous pressure, regardless of product knowledge and expertise. How many of your salespeople have this capability?

How To Use Articles To Increase Search Engine Position
One of the best ways to get a top search engine position is through articles. How do articles do this? As an example, say you were to approach a table with 5 people in a restaurant. You ask the table "Are any of you a musician?" and one person raises his hand. You will probably take his word. On the other hand, if everybody at the table points to that person, you are even more likely to take their word for it. That is how search engines work.
Train Your Workers, Develop Your Leaders
Some managers view training and development as the same thing, whereas they are actually distinctly different. Managers sometimes send their employees to training courses expecting them to return with a new set of behaviors that will make them more effective as leaders—and are then disappointed by the results.
The Importance of Loving What You Do
Why is doing something that you love, so dang important? Why, because it sustains you for the long haul, of course. Well (you ask) won't my love of making money sustain me for the long haul? And (I answer) - No my friend, doing something you are indifferent to, just because it makes you rich, is not a long term success strategy.
Is a Work From Home Online Business Opportunity For You?
First we need to ask a few questions. Are you happy with your current financial situation? Do you have a job or business and are you happy with it? (Do you really love doing it?). Do you commute to and from work and do you like it? Is your life where you want it to be now and is it going to be in 1, 5 or 10 years?

Musicians, Put More Time Into Doing What You Love

Time is a Valuable Commodity; Make it Work for You

PR for Musicians
Perhaps the most difficult question that a musician has to answer when it comes to public relations or marketing is - why? Isn’t having created the art enough? The short answer to that is no and particularly not now. If you want to reach your public and get your art exposure, you need to take control of your marketing and your career. This is particularly true in the music world.

Present Like a Rock Star
You live and breath your subject matter. You own your expertise. You wouldn't be presenting or speaking if you didn't have this command of your topic. So I always wonder why people need notes to talk about what they know so well. After all, you don't need notes to have a chat with your children or grand children, you've lived the experiences all your lives.

Don’t get a job with benefits
Last Friday night the group attending Kent Julian’s Speak It Forward Bootcamp was gathered in his living room. Participant Chad Jeffers shared an amazing short set on the dobro and then some of his personal story. Chad said years ago his dad, who is also in the music industry, told him: “If you want to make this music thing work, never get a job with benefits.”

Lesson #2: Make A Commitment To Be The Very Best
“My first ambition in life was to be Miles Davis,” recalls Gardner. “I didn’t want to be a trumpet player, an artist or a jazz musician – I literally wanted to be Miles. My mom said to me, ‘Baby, you can’t be Miles. There ain’t but one, and he got that job.’ But I made a commitment at an early age that I wanted to be world class at something,”
Sean Combs Godzilla
In 1998, a film was released that would introduce Sean ‘Diddy’ Combs to a new audience of music listeners. Starring Matthew Broderick and Hank Azaria, “Godzilla” opened in theatres across America to mixed reviews. It was yet another remake of the classic Japanese film “Gojira”, but this time, there were a few twists, one of which was the film’s soundtrack featuring rapper Sean ‘Diddy’ Combs in a joint venture with the guitarist of famed English rock band Led Zeppelin, Jimmy Page. For Sean Combs, Godzilla was his chance to show people he wasn’t just a one-genre musician; he could rock it out with the best of them.

I Am Iman, Fashion Legend
Supermodel IMAN needs no introduction. There's simply been so much written about her background, model career and marriage to Rock star/Musician David Bowie it would be repeating it heare would be redundant.IMAN has managed to brand her image and name as a fashion icon/legend. It is indeed why we chose to make her our feature during this month of the prestigious New York Fashion Week and to aptly title her feature as “I am Iman, Fashion Legend.” We caught up with the extremely busy Supermodel, albeit briefly, while she was in Canada shooting Project Runway Canada, a show she hosts, to gain a little more insight into her world, especially the Africa side of things.

Is Reading Music Really That Important?
An important part of being a good musician is acquiring the skill of reading music. There are many musicians out there that still do not know how to do this. Many people learned to read music through music lessons. This may not be available to everyone and it does not guarantee that you will learn how to read music. Surprisingly, there are a lot of music teachers today that teach mostly by rote or by ear. Students in these situations never have to learn how to read music.
