Reviewing The Journey

Dear Friend,

I did say that I'd write these lovely newsletters every two weeks, but it's just got so damn fun and exciting, especially with all your comments, that I just want to explore more. So here I am, sitting on the couch with my laptop and enjoying the sound of the birds chirping.

It's now Spring in sunny London and the fresh smell of flowers and the lovely morning air just takes my senses to another world. I feel it's a world where I'm able to have really exciting dreams and ambitions that can draw the trail in my life. It's really encouraging for me to see this in myself, and I really encourage them in others.

I believe that in order to pursue these desires and passions we have succesfully, it's really valuable to review your music journey so far and learn from it and that's exactly what we're going to look at right here.

After working with several musicians recently and helping them review their journey, they've told me that although it's quite simple, they have learnt things about themselves and especially how they can move forward from here, so I really suggest you take part and see for yourself!

A few days ago, I placed an order for another large batch of my "Express Yourself" for musicians workbook that I've written from the printers and I so want to give away two free copies!

By the way, I know it's beside the point, but what the heck, you've got to see this: go to www.potentialmovie.com and see for yourself what you have to offer to yourself! Make sure you check it out!

Th-th-th-that's all folks!

 

How far have you got?

Finding out how far you have got in your music career is all down to what you want to be and how close you are to reaching that goal.

Is your goal to perform regularly? Is your goal to practice with your band? Is your goal to meet various musicians? Is your goal to learn to play different styles? Do you want to attract regular performances? Do you want to build better audience rapport? Do you want to be more confident?

What a wonderful journey! How you want to be is down to what you believe and what you want. In order to review how far you have got so far, let’s spend a while discovering what you really want from your music...

Please take some time to answer the following questions for yourself. Spend time being specific and detailing your answers.

  1. Why are you a musician?
  2. What do you want to be doing as a musician?
  3. What level do you want to be performing at?
  4. Where do you want to play and perform?
  5. With whom do you want/aspire to play with?

This forms the basis of understanding what you really want to get out of your music career. Now let’s move on to the real stuff – seeing how far you’ve got!

Spend some time answering the following questions.

  1. Up till now, where have you performed?
  2. What measures have you taken up till now to get yourself performances?
  3. What things didn’t seem to go your way?
  4. What setbacks have you experienced?
  5. What understanding have you gained from your past “failures?”

How far is it to go? Great stuff! Before we continue on our path of reviewing your journey, there’s one more thing I want to share with you...

“There are no failures”

Yes, that’s right! There are no failures whatsoever and the reason is this: If you do something which you may term as ‘failure’, think back to it and ask yourself if you’ve learned something from it. If you have, it’s definitely going to aid you in your future pursuits, right? And if it’s helped you in your future pursuits, then how is it a failure?

So in order to successfully review your personal music journey, understand that there are no failures and that everything you’ve done successfully or not too well acts as a learning curve in your future attempts. You NEVER fail until you stop trying.

Go back and look at your answers to the first five questions. These are the goals you are out to achieve. Now look at your answers to the next five questions.

How far on a scale of one to ten (10 being your goal achieved) do you think you are from your goal?

Why do you think that you are in your current position? What can you be doing to move forward and closer to your goal? What actions will you now take to move closer to your goal? What are your next steps?

Congratulations, you have now briefly reviewed your journey.

orking with a coach to achieve your goals is one of the best moves you cn make. If you would like more information, simply drop me an email at info@coachkavit.com
