Write You - Do You Feel Lucky?
Turning in your resignation is not always easy. Even if you hate your job, hate your boss and can not wait to start that new exciting job or perhaps you have an inkling that you are about to be fired, it can be very difficult to resign tactfully and gracefully.On top of that you want to leave on good terms for future references or perhaps even to be rehired by the organization at some future point. The grapevine travels amazingly so you can never know how far bad vibrations left over will travel at some point.What to do. First of all do you really want to quit in your heart of hearts. If this is so then ensure that you handle your resignation with as much tact and preparation that you would assign any other business endeavor. A
To make a long story (8 years) a little shorter, I recorded two cassette albums and received over 30 rave reviews for my music and song writing from local and national music publications. I also discovered I loved the process of writing and recording music. In that time I played for many, many people. I even walked out on a stage in front of 1500 people with nothing but a guitar and played 45 minutes of my own music. Yes, it was terrifying and yes, I loved it!
After all this, I did finally get a couple of small offer
There is nothing fun about being injured. Not only do we have to endure pain, but we’re often faced with the thought of staggering medical bills. Many of us just pretend to ignore pain, hoping it will go away. If you climbed out of bed and have been feeling constant shoulder pain, you may have sustained a rotator cuff injury. The good news is that you don’t necessarily need rotator cuff surgery. It just depends on the extent of your injuries.If you’re experiencing a great deal of pain in your shoulder, it’s likely that you’ve injured one of your four shoulder muscles. You may know how this occurred. In the case of athletes who throw balls every day, this could be a problem that occurred over time. These are called chronic injuries.
I’m not rambling on about me to be self-centered, I’m just using myself as an example. My point is, you can see the glass half full or half empty. It’s really up to you. But I not only feel lucky and grateful for what I have, but I feel lucky about the future. I see opportunity and I feel like I have just as good a shot at accomplishing a given goal as the next guy. I expect to succeed. I don’t expect to fail. I think that’s the difference between people who succeed and people that fail.
I haven’t been successful at everything I’ve done, but I have with most things.
When I look back, I can see all the lucky breaks I got and times when things worked out just right so I could move along the process. But then I realize I put myself in the position to receive those ‘lucky breaks’. But even more than that, I expected to get lucky. I don’t mean in an arrogant way. I just figure when I start a project that I will be successful, that I will be lucky.
I’m also grateful for the success I’ve had. I don’t feel arrogant like “Look what I created all by myself!” I feel grateful that I had the resources I needed at the right time to accomplish whatever it was. I’m grateful for those ‘lucky breaks’ along the way. I feel like I deserved the success I had and I deserve to have success in the future. This doesn’t mean that success just falls in my lap. You have to work at it. But I always feel like if I work at it hard enough, I will succeed.
And the failures? Well, actually the failures are just successful projects that I never finished. For one reason or another, I decided to stop doing that project. I’m quite certain if I had continued, I’d have had success. Here’s an example: When I was about 18, I decided I wanted to be a rock-n-roll star. I knew how to play guitar and I had even sang a little in my Dad’s band when I was younger. But mostly, the idea of getting paid to play loud music in stadiums and get drunk and have girls chase me was what I really wanted. Isn’t that every 18-year-old guy’s dream?
Anyway, I started to try to find out what I needed to do. After a couple of years of playing songs with a band in a bunch of biker bars, I abandoned the idea that some guy with a big cigar was gonna come along and discover me. So, I decided to record my own music and send it to record labels. I had amassed a small recording studio with the extra money from playing in bars and I started really studying the songs of the artists I liked. I picked apart the chord progressions, the lyrics, and the melodies. I experimented with different recording techniques to get different sounds that I had heard on records I liked. I taught myself to play bass guitar, mandolin, harmonica, banjo, and violin to fill out the songs I wrote. I don’t play any of them very good, but I could mimic the sounds I heard on records to accomplish the same sound on my recordings.

Now we come to the first crucial topic in our discussion. A lot of people want to know how they can start investing while they are still having problems paying back their debt every month. " I do not even have an extra one cent to spare after paying back my mortgage, credit cards, insurance etc, so how possibly for me to have money to start my first investment!"Therefore, I think the first problem a lot of people are facing right now is they are actually work hard for the bank and not themselves. They have a lot of downpayment to make every month and eventually they become slaves to their loans. Don't you think it is funny for you pay the bank first when you get your salary every month instead of paying yourself first. feel grateful that I had the resources I needed at the right time to accomplish whatever it was.

Businesses usually operate from a leased premise because it saves capital needed to invest in property. It’s convenient because they can change premises easily to suit their business needs. Before establishing a business lease in Connecticut, it’s better to be sure that the selected location and building is appropriate for the business and if the rent charged is affordable and reasonable.Features of a Commercial Lease:Establishing a business lease in Connecticut requires that both the lessee and the lessor agree about certain aspects, like the kind of lease to use, such as gross, net, percentage, or graduated lease. The rent charged and the annual rate of increase, the term of the lease, options to renew to be included or not

I even walked out on a stage in front of 1500 people with nothing but a guitar and played 45 minutes of my own music. Yes, it was terrifying and yes, I loved it!
After all this, I did finally get a couple of small offers from two small record labels. But in that 8 year span, I also quit drinking, moved out on my own, and found that although I loved writing and recording songs, I didn’t like playing live as well, and I hated to travel. I’m actually a homebody. A far cry from the dream I had at 18 years old.
Being a successful recording artist requires a lot of traveling, touring and not a very ‘normal’ life. In fact, it’s hard to really ever have a home life. I discovered that at 26, I had grown to actually love the music (the art) but hate the lifestyle (the dream). I had to let it go. I have no doubt in my mind that had I kept working, I’d be a successful recording artist right now. Maybe not another Bruce Springsteen, but I’d be making a living. But it was a life I no longer wanted. So in effect I failed to accomplish my goal, but only because my motivation changed.
All along though, I expected to be a success. And when I started my mail order business I did as well. Again, not in an arrogant way, but in a feeling of tenaciousness. I feel that if I try hard enough, and keep my eyes wide open, willing to learn all I can, that I will be successful. In fact, I feel there’s no way I can’t be if I follow through.
I’ve said all this about me because it’s the same for you. YOU CAN SUCCEED AT ANYTHING YOU SET OUT TO DO IF YOU WANT IT BAD ENOUGH! It’s really that simple. Of course being realistic plays a part as well. At 32, if I decided tomorrow that I want to be a world class tennis player, I think I’d have to look at it realistically. I’ve never played tennis in my life, I’m past most of the great players’ prime years, and I don’t look good in white shorts. I do have Andre Agassi’s hairline though. The point is, it’s not very realistic that I would be a success at tennis.
So I hope that this self-centered tidbit has inspired you and motivated you. If you start out doing anything and you think it won’t work, it won’t! But if you expect success, if you feel lucky, and you put in the effort, you can’t help but succeed!
