From the Sound Up✈️ Lesson 8: Why is this important?

Sound Design Live - Career building interviews on live sound, theatre, AV, recording, and sound system tuning

Welcome to Lesson 8! If you missed the previous lessons, please go back to that email or head over to the course page. http://sounddesignlive.com/from-the-sound-up/ Notes - At this point, you should have scheduled a check-in call with me to verify your position statement and make sure you are on track for the rest of the course. If you haven't done that, yet, please go back to lesson 7 and schedule that call before going any further. - At the beginning of this course, we talked about what you want and you told me that you wanted to tour with rock bands and start your own studio and grow your rental business. We all want to get lots of new clients, work on fun projects, and make lots of money. Now I want to know why? Why this? Why now? Because if we can connect with a greater purpose in our life, then we can move from ambition to meaning. And when we are deeply connected to the meaning our work has for us, we become unstoppable. - Lots of things are going to change in this new city. Maybe you were planning on starting a business renting high-end wireless mic kits, but then find out that there's no demand for it. I'm planning on teaching about sound system tuning and business in Minneapolis, but maybe after a while, I'll discover that there is a greater need on another subject. Anything could change, but because I'm deeply connected to the meaning of my work to pursue learning, I stay flexible and committed every day, not matter what. Homework 1. Write out these statements in order and put them near your computer or wherever you will see them daily. Read them every day before you start work. a. Goal from Lesson 2: I am creating... b. Financial and time needs from Lesson 3: I am earning... c. Position Lesson 7: I help... d. Purpose: Above all else... 2. Where does the money come from? Who is going to hire you? For the job or business that you want to create in this new city, who is going to pay you for it, or who makes the decision to hire you? Congratulations on completing lesson 8! -Nathan
