Get on the Grind
When you hear someone talking about grinding what comes to mind? I have an acquaintance that always makes a post where he says #RiseNGrind, which is somewhat motivating for me. What does he mean when he says that though? All types of images come in mind from a pepper grinder to someone working on a chain gang. The definition of “grind” states the reduction of something to small particles or a powder by crushing it or rubbing together gratingly. Now how appropriate is that? When you are working your business, it is you against the coarse wall of challenges you face each and every day as you build your empire. As it pertains to your music plans the stack of obstacles can be daunting because many things you need to complete before you have a hit are outside of your skill set. You might be an awesome songwriter but you really cannot sing that well (outside of Autotune fixing it for you) for example. Well don’t give up hope and stay faithful to your dream. The more you are willing to expose your talents and skills to people, you will find and attract others who are willing and able to help you. This is not to say the next person you meet will make you famous or help you get a lot of downloads but they might give you that “next level” tool to help improve your grid or open up a new door that you did not know was even there. The business of music is way more vast than the average person knows. Be patient, be professional, be persistent and keep grinding.

We are quickly approaching the spring months as evidenced by the fresh little flowers and bright green blades of grass. Spring is always one of those times in the year we all feel a sense of rebirth, renewal and an escape as from our wintery doldrums. With the longer days and shorter nights, we consciously make an effort to do more with getting involved and active.
Although I find myself writing new songs all of the time, I seem to get some sort of energy push during the spring, which leads me to start new projects or ideas. What about you? I think this time of the year can be seen as similar to the rush of the New Year where people try new fitness classes or diets. I never understood why but think we all desire to have something fresh to sink our teeth into. The real trick is staying with whatever it is long enough to make it a habit that helps create that shift in life. In your desire to start this” new thing” on your bucket list, you will inevitably meet new people, forge new networks and start new collaborations. You might have the opportunity to work with Grammy nominated producers or songwriters and think this person will help your career tremendously failing to remember they are just people too. We all have to put our socks and shoes on the same way… one foot at a time. The same goes with you and your desire to be the best. Approaching your new endeavor one step at a time will help your realize that you are great as you are and that although you will learn a lot from networking and collaborating with others, you will do well by staying true to yourself and your work. Sometimes riding the coat-tail of another is not a ride worth taking. |
