I think you just made me realize i need to focus much more on Thriving, rather than merely Surviving. Thanks! Great advice Christine.

Thanks for the reminder to pursue what we love, not just what we're good at. That pie-chart is awesome, because in my experience, it seems, even some in the music industry don't realize (or at least react to) the fact that most money comes from gigs. Some artists put so much emphasis on the perfect recording, and then flounder on stage! That's where relationships are made, that's where money is made... that's where focus should be. I love that you stressed making others sound better. Imagine if we applied that to all aspects of our lives? What a world it would be :) Thanks! -Chase PS: Not a musician :0) Such an important distinction between surviving and thriving.

Things are back on track now, thanks for the inspiring words.

Kenny Werner devoted a fair amount of lecture time to the issue of not having a plan B when I was at Banff, and it had a huge impact on all of us. His words: "The world doesn't need you to be a musician," gave us a lot to think about. I'm thrilled to hear about all of your successes since Humber days - congrats! Thanks for sharing your wisdom.

Thanks so much for sharing. I imagine I'll be back to this one every few months to make sure I am practicing the points I agree with (which is pretty much all of them). I really appreciate how you placed "making others sound good" above "sounding good yourself." I think that is a very giving attitude. Christine this is my favourite post you’ve written so far.
