My New Morning Routine: An Entrepreneur’s Quest for Ultimate Productivity, Happiness, and Fulfillment

Posted on2 Comments

I’ve never been a morning person. In fact, I’ve always been an extreme night owl and had little-to-no morning routine. I feel that the height of my creativity happens after 9pm and I am most excited late at night. While this works really well for my musician life and could potentially be doable in my blogger life, it doesn’t necessarily work well for having a wife, a dog, friends, family, and a real life. While I’ve never been good at sleeping Read More …

Finding Motivation When Working for Yourself

Posted onLeave a comment

The following 2 sentences are taken from my personal journal on March 2nd: It’s tough sometimes to be art director, production artist, author, copywriter, editor, and marketing guy. I find it difficult to make decisions, especially when trying to final-ok something. Man, is that true. When you’re working for yourself, you have no one to bounce ideas off of and no one to keep you in check. You have no real deadlines to meet because you created them. If you Read More …

Insane Music Week, Part 2: Rockett Trio

Posted on2 Comments

And my story of an insane music week continues… The other half of that week consisted of the re-debut of the Rockett Trio. We rehearsed a couple times that week during the day, so I was having some jam-packed (pun semi-intended) musical days going from Rockett Trio in the afternoon to The Boy Who Danced on Air at night. The week culminated in the re-debut of the band at Sycamore Den Thursday night with King Taylor Project and a second Read More …

Insane Music Week, Part 1: The Boy Who Danced on Air

Posted on1 Comment

Let me tell you about my amazing week… Not last week, but the week before, I had one of the most incredibly musically fulfilling weeks I’ve had in a long time. I had two different music projects to work on that week: one, the new musical I’m playing at Diversionary Theatre called The Boy Who Danced on Air, and the other, the re-debut of the Rockett Trio. In the first half of the week, we had a couple rehearsals for Read More …

Quick Update 3/2/16: The Quickest of Quick Updates

Posted on1 Comment

And late, but I wanted to get it out. I’m writing from my iPad for the first time on this blog, so I’m curious to see how the formatting works. I’m also not sure if it will go to the social sites, but I’ll do that manually later if it doesn’t. Oh, and I’m going to use this fun picture of Walter instead of my usual date picture. Anyway, I finished the last bonus today, added a couple things to Read More …

My day today — sales page, dogs, and pictures.

Quick Update 2/29/16: Making Leaps on Leap Day

Posted onLeave a comment

Not sure why I chose the corniest of all titles today, but it just felt so right. So, I’ve decided that I’m going to get everything done for the book by March 8th. I won’t be launching that day because I’ll need a couple/few weeks to reach out to affiliates and polish up some back end stuff, but I want to have everything related to the product and website done by then. That means that, starting this morning, I’ve kicked Read More …

Quick Update 2/24/16: The Seemingly Never-ending Battle with Hosting

Posted on1 Comment

That title may be a little dramatic, but today was, indeed, a day full of technology blunders and a battle with hosting. The good news is, I think I’ve got it all squared away. The bad news? I didn’t get quite as many things finished up today as I planned. I did, however, get the main things I wanted to get done and a couple secondary tasks, to boot. And that, my friends, means progress. I think it’s the nature Read More …
