Succeed In Music Biz With Proper Planning

There are many experienced professionals in the music biz who will tell you that the music biz is all business. I agree. With any business, proper planning is the key to success in the music biz. This article describes some things to consider for your success in the music biz.

Think of your career as a business. Have you assembled your business plan? How do you plan to market? What is your mission statement? Are you going to start your own record label to be distributed by a major, or are you going to use the full service resources of a major label? These are all important issues that you have to have in order to really succeed in the music biz. A music biz plan helps you resolve these issues well in advance.

A lot of recording artists enter the music biz with one big goal "to make it". These artists see themselves on a big stage in front of thousands of screaming fans, but often that is as far as the planning goes. Artists rarely conduct the planning that it takes to succeed in the music biz.

I've yet to speak to an artist who has a business plan. In my experience if you don't have a business plan, then you shouldn't plan on being in business. A good business plan will cover your business and legal structure, your marketing model, financial projections, goals, benchmarks and finally what you'll do after the your career is over.

Relieve Me of Myself

"If anyone would come after me, he must deny himself and take up his cross and follow me. For whoever wants to save his life will lose it, but whoever loses his life for me and for the gospel will save it. What good is it for a man to gain the whole world, yet forfeit his soul?" Mark 8: 34-36, NIV

This has been a long arduous summer and yet so fully alive with all the possibilites that God has shown me. I'm fast approaching the nearly finished task of co-authoring a book on natural dog health with a holistic veterinarian, launched out a new product line with Saving Grace Enterprises, and ramping up for an online conference with veterinarians, doctors, etc., to help educate on stopping a superbug staph infection. Now this all sounds kind of serious right? Well not according to what God has been telling me all week!

Last Sunday in service, our pastor had a very interesting sermon on Psalm 23 as we closed out a series on The Godward Heart. We've all heard and read that psalm since we were children most likely, no matter which Christian religion we are. However, I've not ever heard it presented like this and that is most likely why it resonated so loudly with me. Let me do my usual roundabout way of getting to the point here...

Psalm 23 is all about the Shepard and His sheep, right? Understanding what a shepard's duty was and how he went about it in Jesus' day is what got my attention. Anyone who has read my articles here know that I am not only a pet lover but my business is a business in natural pet care. When our pastor started explaining how a shepard cares for his sheep and what tools he uses, I felt like God was sitting next to me and whispering in my ear and it sent shivers up my spine in a most delightful way!

I've wondered for a long time how God would use me in a natural pet care business. Then He brought me together with Dee Kreidel and Saving Grace Enterprises to create our new product line in custom hand-tooled leather collars, leashes and journals. Huh I said? How does that go with natural pet care Lord? I got an interesting answer Sunday AND one that told me not to take myself so seriously. I'll get to all that in a bit.

The shepard had a staff (we all know that) that was about 5 or 6 ft tall I believe our pastor said. It had the hook at the end we all know about and that was to keep sheep gathered in and not wandering. Sound familiar? Ever wonder why God refers to us as sheep? It's not a flattering statement because they are not the brightest creatures in creation, and they need constant tending and supervision. The shepard also carried a baton about the size of what our police officers carry today. He would use that to fend off attacking predators. He also used it for something a bit more harsh.

If one sheep was constantly wandering off and not learning to stay with the herd, the shepard would use the baton to break one or two of this sheep's legs and then immediately set them. Then he'd carry that sheep around his neck until he was fully healed. The purpose? For the sheep to become dependent upon the shepard for all its needs and to bond fully with him. Again, God does the same to His children.

Another interesting thing the shepard would do is to put oil on each sheep's head and also body to ward off pests (fleas, ticks, flies, the usual suspects). Now the oil referred to isn't your vegetable cooking oil as that would not ward off insects. Nope it was what we now know as essential oils (which by the way still are used extensively in that part of the world for their healing benefits and fast growing here in the USA) mixed with most likely olive oil. The oils served another purpose too. Sheep are goofy and get angry with each other over anything (again like us). When they did get angry, they'd go charging into each other to butt heads so hard that they could kill each other. With the oil on their heads, it would help them to skid off each other keeping them from killing each other.<

Are You Afraid Of Success

It is well documented that many people fail to achieve their goals in life due to the phenomenon known as "fear of failure" but are you aware that a major factor that is often overlooked, is a state known as "fear of success"?

Fear of failure will lead many people into inertia - the inability to make decision or take action in case they receive rejection or negative outcomes. This mental state is fairky easy to identify and there are many tools in the personal development industry to help combat this plague and reprogram the mind for success. However, the fear of success is much more subtle, harder to spot and also harder to eradicate.

Perhaps you have this tendency in your life. Here are some indications of a fear of success mentality.

Studying and trying to implement self-improvement techniques and/or personal development tools but your life does not improve or may even get worse.

You settle for less than you feel you deserve or are capable of achieving.

You start new projects full of enthusiasm and optimism but wane in your efforts or stop short before you have completed them.

You expect things to go wrong no matter how well the situation appears to be at the moment.

Can you identify your own patterns in the any of the above statements?

The fear of success can also make you behave in ways that hold you back. Look at the list below. These are ethe symptoms of the fear of success.

Procrastination - putting off what needs to be done or not doing what you know will bring you closer to your desired result. Everyone suffers from this inner 'demon' at some point in their lives (although some of us suffer from it more than others!).

Procrastination is a 'success killer'! How can ou expect to reach your destinationm if you do not take steps towards it? Strive to do little things each day that will bring you small steps closer to your goal. This is why having a personal development plan is an essential ingredient in the fight against procrastination. Take action! Any action! Refine your steps as you go along but do not sit and do nothing. Taking action is one of the key aspects in personal development.

Can't see the forest for the trees! - this is almost the opposite of procrastination but has the same effect on your personal development. The aforementioned saying is well known but have you ever given it real consideration?

Don't get caught up in your plan believing that it is more important than the materialised goal! For many years I got caught in this trap. I started to think and act as though my plan was more important than my end result and thus missed many opportunities to alter my path and reach my goals more quickly! Let go of your ego and allow the Universe to show you a quicker route to your goal. Remain flexible.

Penyesalan kepada Ayah

Seorang pemuda sebentar lagi akan diwisuda,sebentar lagi dia akan menjadi seorang sarjana, akhir dari jerih payahnya selama beberapa tahun di bangku pendidikan.

Beberapa bulan yang lalu dia melewati sebuah showroom, dan saat itu dia jatuh cinta kepada sebuah mobil sport, keluaran terbaru dari Ford. Selama beberapa bulan dia selalu membayangkan, nanti pada saat w...isuda ayahnya pasti akan membelikan mobil itu kepadanya. Dia yakin, karena dia anak satu-
satunya dan ayahnya sangat sayang padanya, sehingga dia yakin banget nanti dia pasti akan mendapatkan mobil itu. Dia pun berangan-angan mengendarai mobil itu, bersenang-senang dengan teman-temannya,
bahkan semua mimpinya itu dia ceritakan keteman-temannya.

Saatnya pun tiba, siang itu, setelah wisuda, dia melangkah pasti ke ayahnya. Sang ayah tersenyum, dan dengan berlinang air mata karena terharu dia mengungkapkan betapa dia bangga akan anaknya, dan betapa dia mencintai anaknya itu. Lalu dia pun mengeluarkan sebuah bingkisan,... bukan sebuah kunci ! Dengan hati yang hancur sang anak menerima bingkisan itu, dan dengan sangat kecewa dia membukanya. Dan dibalik kertas kado itu ia menemukan sebuah Kitab Suci yang bersampulkan kulit asli, dikulit itu
terukir indah namanya dengan tinta emas. Pemuda itu menjadi marah, dengan suara yang meninggi dia berteriak, "Yaahh... Ayah memang sangat mencintai saya, dengan semua uang ayah, ayah belikan alkitab ini untukku ? " Lalu dia membanting Kitab Suci itu dan lari meninggalkan ayahnya. Ayahnya tidak
bisa berkata apa-apa, hatinya hancur, dia berdiri mematung ditonton beribu pasang mata yang hadir saat itu.

Tahun demi tahun berlalu, sang anak telah menjadi seorang yang sukses, dengan bermodalkan otaknya yang cemerlang dia berhasil menjadi seorang yang terpandang. Dia mempunyai rumah yang besar dan mewah, dan dikelilingi istri yang cantik dan anak-anak yang cerdas. Sementara itu ayahnya semakin tua dan tinggal sendiri. Sejak hari wisuda itu, anaknya pergi meninggalkan dia dan tak pernah menghubungi dia. Dia berharap suatu saat dapat bertemu anaknya itu, hanya untuk meyakinkan dia betapa kasihnya pada anak itu. Sang anak pun kadang rindu dan ingin bertemu dengan sang ayah, tapi mengingat apa yang terjadi pada hari wisudanya, dia menjadi sakit hati dan sangat mendendam.

Sampai suatu hari datang sebuah telegram dari kantor kejaksaan yang memberitakan bahwa ayahnya telah meninggal, dan sebelum ayahnya meninggal, dia mewariskan semua hartanya kepada anak satu-satunya itu. Sang anak disuruh menghadap Jaksa wilayah dan bersama-sama ke rumah ayahnya untuk mengurus semua harta peninggalannya. Saat melangkah masuk ke rumah itu, mendadak hatinya menjadi sangat sedih, mengingat semua kenangan semasa dia tinggal di situ. Dia merasa sangat menyesal telah bersikap jelak terhadap ayahnya. Dengan bayangan-bayangan masa lalu yang menari-nari di matanya, dia menelusuri semua barang dirumah itu. Dan ketika dia membuka brankas ayahnya, dia menemukan Kitab Suci itu, masih
terbungkus dengan kertas yang sama beberapa tahun yang lalu. Dengan airmata berlinang, dia lalu memungut Kitab Suci itu, dan mulai membuka halamannya. Di halaman pertama Kitab Suci itu, dia membaca tulisan tangan ayahnya, "Sebaik-baik manusia adalah mereka yang paling bermanfaat bagi orang lain. Dan Tuhan Maha Kaya dari segala apa yang ada di dunia ini"
Selesai dia membaca tulisan itu, sesuatu jatuh dari bagian belakang Kitab Suci itu. Dia memungutnya,.... sebuah kunci mobil ! Di gantungan kunci mobil itu tercetak nama dealer, sama dengan dealer mobil sport yang dulu dia idamkan ! Dia membuka halaman terakhir Alkitab itu, dan menemukan di situ terselip STNK dan surat-surat lainnya, namanya tercetak di situ. dan sebuah kwitansi
pembelian mobil, tanggalnya tepat sehari sebelum hari wisuda itu. Dia berlari menuju garasi, dan di sana dia menemukan sebuah mobil yang berlapiskan debu selama bertahun-tahun, meskipun mobil itu sudah sangat kotor karena tidak disentuh bertahun-tahun, dia masih mengenal jelas mobil itu, mobil sport
yang dia dambakan bertahun-tahun lalu. Dengan buru-buru dia menghapus debu pada jendela mobil dan melongok ke dalam. bagian dalam mobil itu masih baru, plastik membungkus jok mobil dan setirnya, di atas dashboardnya ada sebuah foto, foto ayahnya, sedang tersenyum bangga. Mendadak dia
menjadi lemas, lalu terduduk di samping mobil itu, air matanya tidak terhentikan, mengalir terus mengiringi rasa menyesalnya yang tak mungkin diobati........
SEBERAPA MAHAL DAN BERHARGANYA KITA PERNAH KEHILANGAN SEBUAH BARANG, NAMUN TAK SEMENYESAL JIKA KITA KEHILANGAN ORANG-ORANG YANG KITA CINTAI (Sebelum kita meminta maaf padanya)

Love Note..

Genggamlah tanganku bersamamu
Kaki ini sudah lelah untuk melangkah
Raga ini pun sudah letih untuk menahan beban ini
Pikiran ini sudah berat untuk berpikir tentang hari esok
dan mata ini pun sudah tak kuat untuk membendung air mata
Airmata yang telah lama tak meluap
Untuk melepaskan semua beban kehidupan ini
Mengapa setiap manusia harus melangkah ke depan ?
Kenapa manusia tak boleh menengok ke belakang ?
Salahkah jika aku lakukan itu semua ?
Salahkah jika aku belajar dari pengalaman pahitku
Salahkah jika aku menangis ?
Menangis ku bukan tentang kekalahan
Menangisku pun juga bukan karena aku lemah
Namun menangisku adalah untuk BEBAS
Bebas dari semua belenggu beban ini
Bebas dari semua paku kehidupan yang aku injak selama perjalanan
Perjalanan yang pahit, sulit , dan sakit yang aku rasakan
Sayank, pinjamilah aku bahumu
Untuk aku sandarkan kelelahan ini
Melepaskan semua beban ini
Untuk berjalan bersamamu sekarang
Melangkah ke depan bersama
Untuk kehidupan yang lebih baik
Dan melupakan semua kenangan pahit di masa lalu
Sayank, Genggamlah tanganku
Untuk sekarang, esok, lusa, dan selamanya
