COMFORT ZONES

i often have heard...."you gotta step out of your comfort zone". i even liked vanessa williams song" the comfort zone". plus how can u not be comfortable with vanessa williams singing to u.:::digressing::::::

ANYWAYS...these terms and related thoughts on the term brought me to a different outlook that i want to share with you. i believe that it is important for all of us to understand what "our comfort zone" is and expand it. who ever said the comfort zone doesnt go thru re construction every now and then. This thought stems from the fact that much of the "comfort zones" that we live in are places in our mind that seem most comforting to us. most familiar. least conflicting.
Yet from birth we had to develop some sort of a beginning and foundation to this place of peace known as "the comfort zone". i wonder if this comfort zone was made to be a crutch to hold us back from going forward or a stepping stone to understand the type of place we would want to live in and what we should strive to create around us.

Nonetheless,i believe our comfort zone is whatever/wherever we find peace in our minds. so my mission is to not only embrace my comfort zone, but 2 continue to expand this zone for the rest of the world that i love to live in and share as well. L.G.I.T.

RANDOM ARTIST ADVICE

DEAR HARD WORKING ARTISTS WHO LOVE GOOD MUSIC....N ALSO U COOKIE CUTTERS RUINING IT..LOL.....I think im beginning to understand...WACK MUSIC AND ARTISTS HAVE OUTNUMBERED US BYYYYY FAR!!!! BUT THAT WAS THE PURPOSE!!



EXAMPLES
--THE RADIO
--LACK OF CD SALES
-- LIL B SELLING OUT SHOWS
--PUFFY ENDORSING ANYTHING THAT SELLS(or has a buzz)..lol-----

















-- GOT TALENT??--


















ITS TRUE!!! BUT ITS NOT OVER FOR US....NOOO NOOOO...THIS IS THE START..



havent you ever felt like theres just too many simple minded people out here........well believe yourself cuz your right!!!

now in a business sense....its way easier to categorize/market dumb ass or negative music....than something that may not fit the day to day criteria......THATS WHERE THE SMARTNESS HAS TO KICK IN FOR GOOD MUSIC MAKERS



BOTTOM LINE

People still want great music,emotional music,inspiring music and just that good ol good music. To be honest,their dying to get it!!!! but we tend to miss the one thing that these wack artists continue to carry.......AN IMAGE..A BRAND..an ACTIVE following..if the music sucks...u would eventually have to sell something else....SO they create their image..they sell it..they market it..they merchandise it...as it spreads in a physical form...it begins to take a noticing to the people who are looking to be a part of the next thing.....example--skinny jeans,mohawks,bling,it cud really be anything,fuzzy slippers in public,u name it etc.... image and following are important!! and these wack artists that are on often have a theme to their bs brigade......SO MY GOOD MUSIC LOVERS.....i know you may not love this business perspective im bringing to you...BUT WE GOTTA DO IT. its important that we share/spread ourselves to people just as much as our music........and merchandise,image and marketing is how you do it.

STOP CHASING THE RADIO,STOP CHASING THE A&R OF BUBBLEGUM GANG RECORDS, STOP LOOKING FOR APPROVAL. FIND YOUR FANS. BE THEIR VOICE. SUPPORT THEM. AND GIVE THEM SOMETHING TO SUPPORT.u'll be surprised how much easier the road gets...once you got people driving with you....L.G.I.T.
