14 Daily Practices of Modern Musicianship

Writing and Recording: Production

For most of us, it starts with the written word, but It could be video or podcast as well. What’s important is that you get started and remain consistent in this practice to put your reps in. You are building your craft and skills every time you produce a new piece of content.

Meditation

Meditation is the one of the keys to self development, self actualization, and self mastery as well as multidimensional liberation across the areas of universe mastery. Meditation is how you can grow into the person you want to become, improve your performance, create experiences you want to have, change limiting beliefs, generate breakthroughs and insights, intuit answers and guidance, generate more bliss and happiness in your life, and much more. Meditation is the mainstay discipline I’ve done daily for 15 years that helped me transform my life, my identity, my personality, and my potential.

Learning and Training

Life is learning. Life has taught me that. The thing about Modern Musicianship is that you not only learn, you implement what you learned into your life through action. Phronesis is a greek word meaning practical wisdom, and praxis is a greek word meaning practical doing. Modern Musicianship is the integration of both. Training is the process of acquiring skills. I know now that what I’ve learned to love is the training for becoming a champion capable of liberating the music business. Learning is the key to growth in your life, and training is how you prepare to perform in your life.

Journaling

Journaling has been one of the major tools in my personal development. This is why it is a mainstay practice of modern musicianship. Journaling is good for your mental, emotional, spiritual connection as well as a way to reinforce learning, develop narrative, brainstorm and explore creative ideas and concepts, as well as ways to log experiences and process emotions. Journaling is a default behavior I now have in my life as it’s a part of how I process and deal with life. The goal is to embody the identity of your most successful self through deep engagement, learning, practices and processing your ideas, emotions, experiences, desires, dreams and future. Journaling is a way to tap into your true self and develop your potentials.

Yoga

Yoga is an exercise practice whose function is the synchronization between the breath and the body for harmony and optimal performance more of the time. I’m not a an expert Yogi, but it is a necessary practice in self mastery, in order to have more peace, more flexibility and more flow.

Creative Imagination

The creative imagination is the sixth sense the creator equipped us with. It is our best tool in our toolkit of mental faculties. I’ve heard it described as god. As God is in your imagination. God is always communicating with you through your imagination. It is your imagination that you’ll need for inspiration and motivation mastery as well as Inner OS Mastery. Two courses I’m working on in the self actualization stage of the 9 stages of Modern Musicianship.

Mind Mapping

Tony Buzan really pioneered the mind map, and it’s become a staple for ideation, production, and process development. Mind Mapping has become such a fun activity I do it multiple times each week to keep developing the ability to map out ideas and construct frameworks as I build out the blueprints for my content business. There is always many ways to creatively organize and communicate ideas, and that’s why modern musicians use mind maps to get ideas out of their head and into their system and workflows.

Success Conditioning

The primary opportunity we have is to find our frequency of success through building a success consciousness. Success consciousness can be developed through success conditioning. When we think about success conditioning we have to think about how to integrate the conditioning of many individual dimensions or areas of focus in order to prepare oneself for the success that they will achieve.

Strengthening and conditioning every area of your life with exercises that will help you grow exponentially.

Mental, emotional, spiritual, physical, social, intellectual, financial, career and recreational success conditioning.

Speaking

Roger Love, my former voice coach says “all speaking is public speaking.” Modern Musicians learn to understand that what they say and how they say it affects their life and other peoples lives, so they learn to add value through speech and conversation as well as throughout all their communications.

Coaching

Modern Musicians both give and receive coaching as core practices so that they learn the system by playing the G.A.M.E. The coaching system I’ve built and am expanding is the vehicle to music business liberation. It will help the most amount of people on their flight path from where they are to where they want to be. It is the solution that will allow you to grow your career more effectively than a major label, on your own terms.

Contemplation

Is a key to learning, clarity and also a way of processing your life in an orderly way. Through purifying the mind, going through our emotions and workflow cycles we go through the process of contemplation by creating meaning on all the levels and dimensions, as well as receiving the gifts that god has for us each day.

Marketing

Modern Musicians integrate and become very skilled at marketing because marketing plays an important part in connecting and adding value to peoples lives. They focus on the long term process of mastering their marketing and building toward and constantly striving for omnipresence.

Performing

Modern Musicians turn their life into a masterful performance. It’s all about creating great moments and showing up for an opportunity with preparation and excitement and delivering passion and the coherent resonance of transformative influence.

Selling

Modern Musicians learn how to sell themselves and their content. This is one way they create extraordinary results, because they are willing to roll up their sleeves and go and sell copies of their album, product, merch, charity, cause or event.

These are your core practices that develop your genius and move the needle forward on your career and life.

Your daily practices get turned into your daily dials.

Tasks that are scheduled on the calendar until they are turned into habits, because they are processes that are developing your identity and shaping the results you’ll get over time

They are the 20% that generates 80% of the results

Do them 80% of the time.
