M. Scott Peck, author of The Road Less Traveled, said:
"Until you value yourself, you will not value your time. Until you value your time, you will not do anything with it"

How true! Now get out there and do something with your valued time and your valued self.

High achievement always takes place
in the framework of high expectation.
You'll always hit what you aim for in the long run.
So why not aim high?

Have the courage to follow your dreams.
It's the first step towards attaining your destiny.

The empire of your future resides in your mind.
If you don't have a dream,
how are you going to make it come true?

Big thinking precedes big achievement.
If you can dream it, you can do it.

[Madalyn’s Note: In a few short weeks I’ll be celebrating 11 years of our great community, GoGirlsMusic.com, as well as 11 years of my web design company. I’ve juggled both for a long, long time. And now with 2007 in the wings I’m thinking big and doing what most of us only dream of… chucking the day job. Well I wouldn’t say my web business is a day job. I only do enough work to cover the bills. I know many of you can relate to that. I then spend the rest of my time on the music business. Well I’m at a place where I’m going to run full steam ahead at 100% music business. It will be 100% GoGirls, 100% IndieMusicCoach, 100% Indie Music Seminars. I have BIG goals. I’m dreaming it and can do it! What about you? What are you thinking BIG?]

Promote your Unsigneds Band with a Newsletter

I'm always scouring the Internet looking for great resources. Here is something I found that is quite useful. And it's so simple. A band newsletter! I know many of you collect email address and DO NOTHING with them. Ugh! You have no idea what a goldmine you have sitting stale and collecting dust in your computer. Use it!

Read the article from the above link. Go get inspired! If you are not putting out a newsletter at least monthly to your fans you are doing yourself a huge disfavor.

Go get 'em!!

The day you take complete responsibility for yourself, the day you stop making any excuses, that's the day you start moving down the road to success.

No one else can do it for you.
Only you can make it happen.
You're the only one that has to live your life.

Success on any major scale requires you to accept responsibility.
It's up to you to choose the thoughts and actions that will lead you to success.

Your life will be what you make of it.
Nothing will ever happen by itself.
Success will come your way once you realize that you have to make it come your way by your own actions.

The power to succeed is yours alone.

[Madalyn’s Note: that first line is awesome! And so true. You and only you can make things happen. Your success is dependent on YOU. I can’t make it happen, neither can your friends or significant other. Only you. It’s that simple. So what are you doing now? Are you still making excuses like “I don’t have the time” or “I don’t have the money?” You must get past that! If you feel scattered and need some direction, get in touch with me for coaching help. It’s what I do. So stop making excuses, take charge and visit me at http://www.indiemusiccoach.com. Rock on!]
