My First 5 Successes - July 6, 2010

Before I write down my successes for today, let me briefly explain what I am doing.  I am taking the Ariel Hyatt - Music Success in 9 Weeks Blogging Challenge - details here.

To summarize, you purchase Ariel's book "Music Success in 9 Weeks" and blog about your journey.  Today is my day 1.  I am to write down 5 successes I've had yesterday and today.  So here they are:

5 Successes For July 5, 2010:

1.  Sent emails to PeTA and the HSUS to inquire about them carrying my new CD "Transitions" and working a cross promotional platform with their campaigns.

2.  Sent emails to some clubs to begin booking my summer/fall solo acoustic US tour.

3.  Started working on lyrical ideas for a new song I'm writing.

4.  Said a bunch of positive affirmations to help get me unstuck from my self-sabotaging ways.

5.  Shared some very personal information about my life with my peeps on facebook regarding my previous life as a pot head and touched many people.

5 Successes for July 6, 2010:

1.  Booked an open mic night spot at a venue in Galveston, Texas (I will be visiting there this weekend and hoped to get in on this open mic to secure a future gig).  I talked with the owner directly and he guaranteed me a good spot since I'm coming in from Austin, Texas.

2.  Announced my performance at Kick Butt Coffee-Triangle's open mic night Wednesday to my facebook, twitter, and myspace peeps.

3.  Received an email back from both PeTA and the HSUS about them carrying my new CD "Transitions" and also working out a cross promotional platform with my music and their campaigns.

4.  Talked with my good friend vegan bodybuilder Robert Cheeke about getting my music in front of some big time movie producers he's friends with in LA for use in their movies or even possibly making a music video for me.

5.  Started working on lyrical ideas for a new song I'm writing.

Wow!  When you write these things down, you really do see that you are making progress.  It feels good!
