D.I.Y. Rock Star Rewind: Not Sweating Anything (March 2022) đ

Rough Start
â Itâs amazing that yesterday turned out so well, because, as you know, it started out very poorly, attitude-wise for me. My stomach was in knots, I didnât feel like I was accomplishing much, and doubted my abilities to be able to leverage the time the way I had originally envisioned it. But I kept GOING. Despite everything. And thatâs all I COULD do to keep from just breaking down and throwing up my hands. I just kept saying to myself that, even if I WASN'T able to check these things off my list, that I was going to feel happier having worked on all these things at the end of the day, IF NOTHING ELSE. So, I just kept working. I didnât give up, even if I moved from project to project. đđž

Found Myself Somewhere in ThereâŚ.
The BEST news is that, now, today, I feel like I am BEYOND that ravenous period of trying to grow for growthâs sake. I feel like that was the mode I was in when I quit my torturous job in 2017. But I feel like I have been through a couple of different phases since then and I have settled into this NEW place of looking for a selective few key connectionsâthat MAY lead to opportunities over timeâbut that I donât mind being in this weird bubble where some folks know about us, but that OTHER folks donât. I like being a little mysterious and donât even think I could handle being massively successful overnightâŚ.đ¤ˇđ˝ââď¸ Which is PROBABLY one reason that I am not doing that âsparkle vomitâ thing quite as much anymore. đł I think that choosing fewer individual and institutional targets is better than just raining down all our shit onto EVERYBODY we ever meet. đ¤ˇđ˝ââď¸ I feel that we get a better result as far as attention and it feels better, so THAT'S the phase I am in now.

As simple as it seemsâŚ.
âHaving said THAT, I TRULY decided that, if (insert any seemingly important personâs name)âor whomever!ââwantsâ us, they know where to find us, but that I am NOT anxious for ANYTHING now and, that instead, I am just out here, trying shit and enjoying life. đ¤ˇđ˝ââď¸đĽ°đ âI MEAN IT! âSo, THATâS where getting the Cricut and making things and coming up with projects to try and products to launch comes in. I just LIKE doing that shitâALWAYS have!âand the lack of having folks say anything about it is okay, because in the back of my mind, I KNOW we make an impression and THAT'S all I need for now. đđž Unlike ANY time EVER in the past, I am NOT sweating ANYTHING. I have decided that, for now, we will find all this, but I am CONVINCED that, like water building in a dam, when the time is best, we will breakthrough into the RIGHT opportunity. đ¤ˇđ˝âđ So, I have this sense of peace that, frankly is so unexpected, but it has caused me to allow that peace to flow on into other areas of my life. đ§đžââď¸

Whatâs exciting?
As I mentioned above, I am SOOOO excited to have emailed our brand new 100+ person mailing list (for our band, Bourgeoisie Paper Jam)! Our artist mentoring program suggests that we email them weekly, but since weâre SOOOO new to this, we have settled on a monthly check-in email. (If youâre interested in hearing more about this whole artist mentoring process, check out next monthâs blog post on it.) đ
