A Quartet of Ideas - August 11, 2022 — The Entrepreneurial Musician

I am off to the Berkshires today for one final visit in 2022. Nothing recharges me creatively more than that place.

And without further ado, here are the ideas of the week...

Quartet of the Week

1. Write a Letter to the Future This site allows you to write a letter to yourself that you schedule to be delivered at a specific time in the future and it is a surprisingly personal experience.

This exercise immediately brought my priorities into better focus. Highly recommended!

2. How to Create a High Impact Press Page and Why Everyone Needs One This is a great breakdown of why everyone needs a press page and how to make a good one. It also serves as a list of things to collect as you go through your journey to help tell your story to others.

3. The 7 Types of Rest That Every Person Needs I enjoyed how this doctor laid out the different kinds of rest and explained how rest does not only equal sleep.

I fall short on some of these fronts and need to do better!

4. How to Batch Create Social Content Whenever I get overwhelmed, the first professional thing to go is my presence on social media. That's because it never has to get done so it is always a candidate for getting put off for later.

This infographic is a great blueprint for how to batch the creation of your social media content and stay on top of things.

This Week's TEM Episode

For only the second time this summer, there is no TEM episode this week! I'm actually quite proud that I've only missed two weeks. But I'm also trying to be okay with the fact that between getting out of town and my wife giving a presentation out of state that I just don't have the bandwidth this week. Being patient and kind to myself is something I'm working on!

Be on the lookout for TEM274 next week.

My Final Thought of the Week

I challenge each of you to do something this week that intentionally takes you out of your comfort zone.

Could be music/career related or something else entirely. Could be a small thing or something huge.

Here's to leaning into the things that make us grow!

Cheers, Andrew The Entrepreneurial Musician
