Hustle + Passion + Resiliency
Over the past year and more, I've come to really understand what
passion, hustle and resiliency are. If you don't have the
passion for what you're doing, how on earth will you really be
successful right? On the other hand, when you really enjoy what
you're doing, then what you're attracting into your life is
absolutely fabulous, right? Do you remember a situation in your
life when you really did something because you enjoyed it, and
as you continued, your drive, energy and enthusiasm increased?
How did it feel? Now, wouldn't you like to have that all the
time, every single day, in every single thing that you do? I
sure do...
Back around 2001, I was really frustrated that I couldn't get
performances regularly. I probably got invited to play once in 3
months, and I didn't like that. I wanted to play every week. I
spent some time really questioning myself, my abilities and all
the rest, and sure it was really tough but I had so much
leverage that I really wanted to change and so used my
self-esteem to combat them! For me, my self-esteem builds up
when I see professionals playing and so I went to so many
concerts. I fought hard with my Self 1 and the inner voice
telling me that I'm n the way that works for them, and rubbish.
Then came the secret to my heart, I've got to tell people what I
do iunfortunately, it's different for every single person. I had
to work on getting my communication effective! (I'm sure we'll
explore this at another date).
Having fought through, I saw powerful results for myself and
with everyone I came into contact with. I attracted performances
every week and soon enough, people just asked me to come along
and perform. It was phenomenal, and I found that I was having an
impact on other musicians as well themselves being recalled to
play with me regularly. It was pure magic, and I was doing what
I really enjoyed.
What I learnt from all that is that its just not enough to have
the passion. If you're not dedicated to the cause, for example,
getting performances, then how will you be able to strive
towards and get there. The most effective way that I live my
life is to really, and I mean really get clear on what I want
and why I want it. Then, I analyse what I need to do, connect
with the outcome, and just let it appear in my life, simply
through attracting it. In simple, that's the "strategy" of my
life, and it works magic with all my clients who want to live
success.
The third key thing that I learnt at the same time is that
you've got to hold yourself together when you get a "NO" to
performing. Man did I have so many of those! But when you're
resilient, you have the power within you to quickly dust
yourself off and hit the next name on the list. What I've also
found is that these three ingriedients of success are key to my
business, either in getting marketing done, getting clients, and
just seeking opportunities to work with musicians.
What you've got to realise is that no matter how much passion
you've got, you need to stand firm in your position as being the
best you can be, conveying that message and trusting that
whatever decision the other person makes is right for both you
and them.
I invite you to think about this for yourselves and see what you
could ammend in your approach to making it much more successful
for you. What in your music or personal life could you change a
little? What would really get you going more? What approach
could you take to getting that performance you want?
If you've got the hustle and resiliency to develop your passion,
I invite you to take up one of our one-off PERSONAL COACHING
