Baby, I'ma be my Motivation.

This week has been a dream. I'm working to get my motivation back and I have to say I've been doing a damn good job (yeah I too my own horn...beep beep motherfuckers). My nigga Arty invited me back to LMU to the 100th anniversary celebration this past Sunday. Too good. Too Good. Met up with a connection, the incredible Mr. Charles Mason (who originally recuited me to LMU) and there continued the path towards completing my degree. From there I obtained an appointment for Tuesday that went swimmingly. Between Mr. Mason, Linda Jorgenson, Roger Pardee & Mr. Milicevic ( yes, that many people) I was armed with all the tools to stage a comeback. Will I be able to finsih my degree? Yes. Am I in over my head? Maybe. Will this be the next chapter in the 2nd Greatest Story ever told? (I see you JC), Yes. In addition to this, my producer contacted me about some studio time and writing new records. Way too hyped to get back to laying tracks down...Look for the Mixtape #1 on 11/11/11. All new tracks, all new writing, all new flow. So many cats out there in the music world, and it's really time to show them how its done. I'm tempted to say that this is the beginning, but I wonder if that will diminish the work it took to obtain it. So I'll say that this is the progression. Hmmm...I might change the name of the Mixtape to "The Progression" Top it all off, I've found excellent properties that I am currently selling to my investors. So now that I've successfully acquired motivation for my action, the next step is to raise my determination..More on that Post Later.

In continuing with the theme of success...I've got a couple of updates. Generated some interest with the new marketing that I have done, now I'm looking to get the motivation to convert these inquiries into checks. Having gone on a couple of listing appointments that didn't end in listings, I started to question: Where could I have done better? Each time I was afforded with an answer of unbelievable value...The most prominent lesson is something that I have heard from my mentor and various other sales technicians "Ask for the deal". Such a simple sounding concept, but one that up until recently didn't appear to have a practical application. Wasn't the very fact that I arranged an appointment, prepared marketing materials, and provided all the information that would lead one to deduce a sale enough? No. Most people want to be lead, and once you've lead them so far via road maps and street signs, it's time to ask them the quintessential question of any road trip or journey "Are we there yet?". Although this question seems annoying to the driver, it provides a point of practical assessment where one is forced to check the surrounding and determine how close (or far) our destination truly is. My focus has now distilled into the moment. What am I doing this moment to provide a serice? What am I doing this moment to generate income? What am I doing this moment to improve my life? What am I doing?...to quote my contemporary "Oh yeah, that's right I'm doing me....I'm living life right now man."
