Moving Forward-Systematically

Today, I spent the day uploading my video (finally) to my own Youtube page. When you are an independent artist, you have to wear SO MANY hats. Family, I have to be honest with you...I'm really trying to take it one day at a time. I know that if I put one foot in front of the other, and work really hard at getting everything together properly...everything will be fine.

The pink sneaker's designed by the one and only, Mr. Kanye West, helped me establish mindset for this post. In any "career game", you have to be innovative, frugal as possible (without actually being/looking cheap :) ) and it is very important for you to diversify (without spreading yourself too thin).

Instead of leading my musical career decisions based on emotion and fear, In 2011, I am going to try systematically strategic. Meaning that, I am going to set up certain strategies and execute them in very systematic (yet creative) ways.

I'm going to keep us all in my prayers :)

Have a Wonderful Holiday Season!!

It's time to expand my territory!

Jabez prayed to the God of Israel,"Oh that Thou would bless me indeed, and enlarge my coast [territory], and that Thine hand might be with me, and that Thou would keep me from evil, that it may not be to my sorrow!' And God granted him that which he requested." 1 Chron 4:10

I'm at a point in my life where I find myself feeling a little anxious. Not because things aren't going well, but because I feel like I have all the tools I need to succeed...if only I had a team that worked with me on a daily basis to help promote my music and create more opportunities.

You may not know this, but I've been involved in the music/entertainment industry since 1999, and have of course accumulated lots of great contacts. The funny thing about that is that since I stepped into the role of "artist" about four years ago, I find myself being very reluctant to contact any of those great contacts to ask for assistance with my personal career.

Well, a couple days ago, I decided to challenge myself, and just start voicing my needs to the universe. I do need to be out in the public more performing, I do need to get a promotion team together, I do need help with creating my overall "brand" and if I know some of the best in the "business", why not call on them? I'm not asking for a hand out, actually I'm looking for what my good friend, Derek "Prettyboy" Dow, would say..."a hand up" :) And if they are too busy...hopefully they can connect me to another professional that can be genuine and really assist me.

So, today, once again, I'm sending out my own prayer into the universe...Lord, please expand my territory, please shield me from evil, please let all my actions to be positive, peaceful, and productive...Amen!

I hope this post inspires not only me but you as well!! Love you all...Indi
