Hello!
It's funny when you start a regular Blog, you're never quite sure what you're going to write about and how it's all going to turn out. Mine has turned into a mini coaching session regarding your music career goals!
So how did you get on last week - have you made your goals KISS?!
This time I'm going to ask you to look at what you have achieved so far that will help you to make it to your ultimate goal within your music career.
To do this I want you to take a blank piece of paper and write down everything you have ever done musically - even if you have to go back to when you were 5 years old - yep, even including learning the recorder at school!
For example:
written music and lyrics for 10 songs
attended 3 audions
regular gigging
member of a band
Don't miss anything out - this is evidence for you to see how far you have already come in your music career - I want you to be proud of this - so however big or small your achievements they are a step forward in the right direction!
Also, some of the above may have given you other skills. For instance 'regular gigging' may have led you to learn:
how to interact with an audience
how to stop the fear of performing live
how to quieten your nerves before getting up on stage
how to dance on stage whilst playing your guitar
So now go back to your list and continue writing down all the subsequent skills and experiences you have gained as a result of your music achievements.
What's the point of this exercise? This will help you to see what you are either missing or what you now need to put in place to move you further towards your music career goals. And if nothing else, if ever you are feeling down and that you're not getting anywhere with your music, you can take a look at this list to help you see just how far you have already travelled!
Get back to me with your comments!
Until next time...
Linz xx
