EXCUSES, EXCUSES, EXCUSES

From Chris Brogan....

Everything's hard. We're all busy. We're all tired. We all don't have enough money. We all have someone who says we can't. We all are worried about what comes next. We all remember the words of people who said we're failures or we'll never make it.

So what?

Are those your excuses?

There's a war going on but it's between your ears. Don't surrender before you've even tried your hand at the war. Your biggest work is in front of you, and it's not the work of comfort or the work of settling, or the work of saying something is "good enough."

The time for average is over.

It's time to decide what you intend to do next, and what the next few years will mean to you.

What are YOU going to do?

What songs are you going to write?

With whom do you want to co-write?

What do intend to do with the songs?

What's YOUR excuse?

How? By offering consulting, artist and business development, management services and song plugging for only the most talented and deserving professionals.
