Quartet #10: Thirty One-Sentence Mindset Tips, Two Sentences of Advice That Fired Me Up and More!
You might assume that someone who has given mindset presentations around the country wouldn't need a regular reminder to keep a growth mindset about various aspects of their life and career.
But you would be wrong - I need the regular reminder!
I hope you get as much out of #1 as I did.
And without further ado, here are this week's ideas...
Quartet of the Week
1. Thirty One-Sentence Mindset Tips for Side Hustlers One way to look at having a portfolio music career
I especially like #3, #10 and #13. Are there any you would add?
2. Get Your Twitter Bookmarks Emailed to You Once a Week
If you spend any time on Twitter you know how much priceless information there is there every single day. Much of what I share in this newsletter comes from Twitter.
But keeping track of all of that stuff can be hard. This tool automatically emails you once a week with any new bookmarks. Very useful if you use Twitter!
3. Two Sentences of Advice That Fired Me Up
Speaking of Twitter, came across this tweet and knew I had to pass it along to you. Not sure I have ever framed what we do as creatives quite like this first sentence and I am going to moving forward.
4. It's Just Where You Are Today I have learned so much from the people I've interviewed for TEM over the years. And of all the countless lessons I've learned from guests, this one is on the short list for having the biggest impact on me.
This Week's TEM Episode
In TEM279 I spoke about how putting restrictions in place can actually help jump-start the creative process - something that is counterintuitive to me but works like magic.
My Final Thought of the Week
Here's a quote to send you on your way:
"So go on and play, and if you make a mistake, make it loud so you won't make it next time."
—Art Blakey
Jazz legend Art Blakey with the helpful reminder here. I am always telling my students "strong and wrong", meaning to play with exclamation points and if you mess up, lean into it.
But sometimes I don't proceed with those same exclamation points when it is a new business venture of some kind - and I need to!
Because all growth comes from the tension of not knowing whether something will work or not work. And when something doesn't, we learn from it and move on.
So here's to making loud mistakes!
