The Proof that the 'How To Make A $Million From Your Music' ten month course WORKS
It's easy for me to say that I have made $Millions from music...the proof is all there to see [check out my band 'The Bachelors'] in 'Guinness Book of Hit Records', 'Television's Greatest Hits', 'The Ten Best of Everything'....but it's better to see the success of Members of 'The Serious Writers Guild' under my personal direction.
To all our
subscribers: "Thank you for making us the widest read, weekly, music, Ezine
on the Net!"
and thank you for our Number One rating for 'Producing Hit

OK, so I got that guy’s name wrong again…what is it? Gordon, Roland, Boland, Nordon…oh heck! Gordon Haskell.
I’ve had so many of the Members on the phone to me…..the real reason for them ringing though, was to have a little giggle at my expense. That’s what I suspect, anyway. You see, I’m well known for being very outspoken about ‘old’ music…in other words, I can’t see the point, in this year of 2002, in trying to write like Dylan, like Baez, like The Beatles even. I call that type of writing ‘vanity’ writing…
COS IT DOESN’T SELL!
So along comes Gordon Haskell
.Old style song.
But have you notice the promotion behind it? The fact that BBC Radio 2, in the UK are firing on all cylinders behind it? Featuring prominently in all the TV advertising? So, you could say that Gordon happened at just the right time!
Lucky boy? No….
Right man for the right time. Radio 2 are basking in the wonderful glory of being the most listened to Station in the UK…after years of being in the doldrums. Years of being ‘out of touch’. So, they are really going for it big time…and having a record that they discovered, nurtured, shaped and plugged to death, close to that Number One spot is top of their multi million dollar agenda.
Apart from that, every five/six years, a quirky, silly, song comes along and sweeps the charts…’Little Drummer Boy’, ‘Matchstick Men’, ‘Bob The Builder’…you know the sort of thing…
So I would think that Gordon [an overnight success in thirty years?] reaped all the rewards of sticking in there and having a tinge of that magic we call ‘luck’.
Gordon would be A-typical of someone who found his
'GOOBI'.
A lot of the time, the work we're faced with, if we are not 100%
earning from music, is often boring and monotonous. Wouldn't it be great
if it were fun? Ding, dong! Are the lights starting to flash, and sirens
starting to scream inside your head?
I'm tempted to carry on
waffling at this stage, but I know you are just itching to find out what a
GOOBI is. Am I right?
Well, I'll put you out of your misery
right now! GOOBI is simply a mnemonic for ‘Get Out Of Bed Inducer’.
It's that thing that gets you out of bed in the morning and puts a spring
in your step. It has also been described elsewhere, as your "Friday night
essence." Think about it, what would you, happily, spend Friday night
working, instead of having a nice dinner with friends or watching a movie?
Or drive 200 miles to work instead of going to a 21st birthday bash by
taxi ride?
I was reminded of the GOOBI concept recently,
whilst watching a film. The title of the film escapes me, which is
probably best, because it was rubbish. If I was to tell you the title
you'd only go watch it, and then you'd be saying: "Why did he mention
that film? It was rubbish!"
Anyway, at one point in the
film, the leading character made a statement that struck a chord with me.
He said: "The secret to success is to find something you love doing,
and do it for the rest of your life!" Of course, he was talking about
finding your GOOBI.
So here comes the hard part. To find
your GOOBI you have to start thinking for yourself. I know that bit
is going to come as a shock to some of you, as a lot of people will go to
the ends of the earth to avoid thinking for themselves. Isn't it just a
lot easier to run with the flock and let the shepherd and his dog make all
the decisions for you?
If you've just answered "Yes" to that last
part, then all I have to say to you is "Baaah!". For those of you who
don't speak Sheep, roughly translated this means "You'd be better off
grazing with the flock, you haven't got what it takes."
You know that your GOOBI is really music, or I can’t figure out what you are reading my stuff for, whether it be writing it, performing it, producing it…so why not learn to do it properly, with a forward thinking ‘money seeking’ mind, so that you can wake up every day and just ‘make music’….read the books, get the knowledge, get the experience, do the gigs, learn the instrument, the computer techniques....
With your thinking adjusted to ‘fortune making’, then music will be rewarding, both mentally and financially…in fact you won’t be working ever again…you will just be enjoying yourself….that is:
Now that you have found your GOOBI
It makes sense, well doesn’t it? I found mine years ago…..do you think I work? Think again!
