A while back I asked a friend what he really wanted to do. His answer was that he really wanted to do that particular course... It was like he just wanted to "drive the car" and didn't care where he would go. But what if the car breaks down? In his case that course is way too expensive. People get frustrated this way and can't see the alternatives! He could ride a bike, take the plane, a zeppelin, etc. So I understand what you say, Debra.
But isn't the goal for "every one" on the forum the same? Making money through music. So maybe the title of the thread is misleading. Is "Post your actions after attending the Rally" a better title. I know the goal "Making money through music" is very unspecific and it should probably be a lot more specific. How much money? Music in what way? When? etc. The five year plan comes to mind, for it is, I think, filled with goals.
Well just thinking aloud. Looking forward to part 2 of your blog!

Yes, exactly! And you'd be surprised how different that goal that everyone supposedly has when you get right down to the specifics. Beyond how much money and what kind of music. You need to also ask yourself what kind of lifestyle do I want? And how important is that to me? For example, if you want a really wealthy lifestyle of a pop star - are you willing to exchange your privacy for that lifestyle? Are you willing to be on the road 6-9 months out of the year in order to build that fan base? Where do you want to live? Who do you want to work with? How do you spend your days?
If you have a clear vision of all those things, and then create a 5 year plan filled with specific milepost goals, you'll be much better positioned to actually build that life.
