If you are just coming across the Tommy Dubs Website for the first time, you may find it odd to see me posting about my career goals in plain site for everyone to see. Well to be Honest it is a little weird, but I am taking part in a 9 week program intended to drastically increase the success I obtain in the music industry. Ariel Publicity is an excellent resource for musicians and she is hosting a blogging challenge that will end up awarding a custom marketing campaign to the winning musician. After re-reading music success in 9 weeks by Ariel, I noticed that I did not include my goals. in the next year My goals are:
Expand my live performances into every market within a 3 hour drive
Sellout of all of my remaining Gadfly Stock. I have boxes of Gadfly records in my garage that are Taking up valuable instrument space.
Get regional radio play
Book 1 high profile Producer gig
Sell 100 downloads a month continually
Place 1 song on TV or film
Have a mailing list totaling 1000 readers
Consistently pull 250 people to shows
According to Ariel's book only 3% of people write down their goals and actually taking the time to complete this step drastically improves your chances of attaining your goals. This, however is not the only step to be taken. It is obvious to me that consistent reminders of my goals and small steps to be taken daily are going to be the key to reaching them. Another great point that I took away is celebrate daily success's and stop beating yourself up. The book suggests writing down daily success's and then reading over them. Doing this a few times so far has really been eye opening and motivating. Well I hope you take something from these blog posts and I am really excited to look back over the next 9 weeks to see what I have accomplished.
If you feel so inclined to help, buy a CD, tweet this, subscribe to the blog, contact me via email or show up to a show.... Or show up with a million dollars and that can be a shortcut!
This video that I am posting is something I recorded today. It is an version of the song "True love will find you in the end" by Daniel Johnston and just like the last one, it includes audio from a different crazy neighbor. I live in the Warzone... OB.. Where the Ghetto Meets the Sea.. and I LOVE IT!
