Stop Making Excuses! Kick 2019 in the Teeth and Get Yours!
079 - Stop Making Excuses! Kick 2019 in the Teeth and Get Yours!
You know what's sad? 80% of us are going to give up on ourselves and our "New Year's Resolutions" by February 1. That's a fact.
You took the time to identify weak points in your life; things that were holding you back. You identified areas you want to excel in. You identified parts of you life that made you feel weak or bad about yourself. You committed to yourself: “yes I will make a change... I NEED to make a change!”
But by just 4 weeks after all these dreams and retaliations and commitments - 80% of you will QUIT and GIVE UP. Because it's uncomfortable - because you weren't really doing it for yourself, you were doing it to satiate someone else - because you didn't want to sacrifice. Because it got too uncomfortable.
Is it comfortable laying in bed disgusted with your weight? Is it comfortable working at that job you hate? Is it comfortable refusing to put in the work on that project that keeps nagging at you to complete? Hell no. Nothing about life is easy. Comfort is a lie.
Wake up and STOP MAKING EXCUSES!!
2019 WILL be your year - IF you grab it.
D.j. Dugan, of Shake Magazine and Smith Music, sits down with Simeon Hendrix in the Steady Focused studio for an amazing interview about winning in 2018 as a musician, Texas Music and so much more.
078 - One of the Most Important Men in Texas Music, You've Never Heard of - D.j. Dugan Interview
One of the Most Important Men in Texas Music You've Probably Never Heard Of...
Without D.j. Dugan's relentless efforts, the Texas Music landscape would look very very different. And that’s no exaggeration. Hailing from the Ft. Worth Stockyards, Dugan is a creative innovator, a 7th generation entrepreneur, creator and co-owner of Shake Music TV, and marketing / digital distribution manager for Smith Music.
Odds are pretty good – if you’re listening to a Texas artist on Spotify, or buying an album at Buck-ees rest stop – D.j. had a hand in getting in there. He’s done a whole heck of a lot more too…
Watch as we discuss: pitfalls most musicians are making in 2018, online distribution, the importance of marketing, being yourself, becoming a “Music Friendly Community”(LET'S DO THIS WF!) and much much more…
Books recommended by D.j.:
– Guerrilla Marketing by Jay Conrad Levinson
