I'll confess, I have a soft spot for "Making the Team," the show that dives into the intense and competitive audition process for the Dallas Cowboys Cheerleaders. Watching these hopefuls navigate the rigorous training and high standards reminds me of my own journey. In high school, I led our dance team as Captain for four years. This taught me to thrive on the excitement, the thrill of the game, competition and challenge. Winning is great, but losing has its own value too—it teaches you how to improve and come back even stronger.   This experience taught me the importance of continuous learning and growth. Embracing new challenges and learning from both successes and setbacks is essential. I challenge you to incorporate learning into your daily routine—whether it's mastering a new skill, seeking out new experiences, or simply being open to new ideas. It's a powerful way to keep improving and achieving your goals. Here is a quote I enjoy, when presented with a challenge: "I like challenges, but I like solutions even more." Kelli Finglass Director, Dallas Cowboys Cheerleaders

You’re not alone with this. I’m about to how you how to take the steps to stop getting into a money hole with your show, film, or program. You see, many people focus on getting started with the work with little planning. Because of this, you find yourself in a money hole with your work. Now, there are 3 major things you need to focus on - clarity, budget planning, and taking action - and we cover this in my upcoming beta offer that includes a budget template and checklist, but I am going to give you my favorite one right now because I don’t want to overwhelm you. In fact, you can use this TODAY and drastically limit the amount that you’re stressing with your upcoming show. Want to know what it is? When looking at and planning for the different things you’ll be spending, add an 5-10% contingency to what you think everything will cost. This gives you a buffer if there are expenses you didn’t plan for, whatever they may be, and helps to lower the chances of spending more than you make.

People who come to tarot are curious souls in search of personal growth. They ask these types of questions. They also ask, "How do I evolve and elevate in the most efficient way, and avoid wasting my precious time on unproductive patterns in my life? How do I minimize the detours and deviations from my path? Incorporating tarot cards as one of the tools into your self-improvement journey can offer insightful guidance. By tapping into the wisdom of the cards, you can gain clarity on your strengths, weaknesses, and the opportunities ahead. Tarot can help you identify and break free from unproductive patterns, guiding you toward efficient growth and evolution. It's a tool for honing in on your path, minimizing detours, and aligning with your highest potential as individuals and as a collective.   How does Tarot do that? The 22 Major Arcana cards in tarot symbolize a journey of self-discovery and personal transformation. Each card represents a stage or archetype that individuals encounter on their path toward self-realization. From the innocent Fool embarking on a new journey to the enlightened World card representing fulfillment and completion, the Major Arcana guides us through various aspects of life's challenges, lessons, and triumphs. By reflecting on these archetypes, individuals can gain deeper insights into their own experiences and navigate their journey toward becoming their best selves more consciously and efficiently.

Music teachers are just as susceptible to clickbait as anyone else...One cognitive bias that sneaks under the radar is the "first impression."

Which way do I go? 🔎 The meaning behind Yogi's words may surprise you. I sourced the story behind today's "Yogi-ism" from the Yogi Berra Museum & Learning Center website. "While giving directions to his best friend Joe Garagiola to his house in Montclair, Yogi told Joe to take the fork. The fork was unique in that no matter which direction you chose, you would end up at Yogi and Carmen's house." Interesting, right!? In Yogi’s case, no matter the choice, you achieved the same result. We're rarely afforded that luxury. There's more to the story! Yogi was a risk-taker and wasn't afraid to take a fork in the road. Even though he couldn't always see what was ahead, he recognized opportunities would be available. The path forward is rarely a straight line. There's more than one way to get from point A to point B. A fork in the road is a gateway to action, not habit. "People who deliberate fully before taking a step will spend their lives on one foot." ~Chinese Proverb~ Consider the possibilities. You won't find "it" unless you first get there. 😉 Have you considered adding the value of voiceover to your marketing and advertising campaigns? How about your website?
