God has given each and everyone of us talents and gifts. We have free will, but we also have an obligation to share these gifts with other people with whomever we come in contact with. If you are not sure of what direction you are headed, then how can you be a great artist and share your music and gifts to the masses? How can you have an abundant joyous career if you don’t have a strong vision, plan and execute it? How can you be a leader? If you are not leading, then you’ll surely become a follower, drifting day to day through this earthly experience. This way of living may be ok for some, but is that your ultimate desire for your music and life?
As artists, many of you already possess the power of leadership, but you may need to access your current game plan and find ways to stimulate and motivate change. You may need to take strong action in order to become that great artist that you strive to be. Having a secure foundation and a clear understanding of your past will ensure a bright future.
You may have heard the quote, “life is what you make of it”. What do you want to make of your life? What are your hopes and dreams? Do you want to tour? Do you want to be involved in a recording studio? Do you want to record and play your own music? Do you have a finished CD and you don’t know what to do with it? Any successful business has a clear vision of where they see their company. As an artist, you are your own company. Now I know that many of you don’t like to think in those terms. You would rather play and make music, leaving the rest of the business stuff for someone else to deal with. Unless you are signed to a major label, you will have to carry most of the burden yourself. Even if you are signed to a major label, you should always take an interest in the matters and affairs of your life. Always take control of your destiny. Let’s start today!
