Hey, ya’ll! At the bottom of today’s post, I’m going to let you know about some free stuff I’m giving away to all of you great Man vs. Row subscribers. Now, on to today’s post…
Per Michael Hyatt, prioritize your goals like you’re setting up dominos. Which of your goals, when you accomplish it, will make it easier to accomplish your OTHER goals? Like toppling dominos, which goal, when met, will help to knock over your next goal, then the next, then the next?
Look at your goals and how they interrelate. Pick the goal which can really kickstart the others, and go after that goal FIRST.
I thought it was a cool idea, and I wanted to share it with you.
God Bless,
Brent
I’m excited to be speaking on song idea discovery and development at the 2014 Songwriting And Music Business Conference in Nashville, TN! Click the image below to find out more. I’d love to see you there!
FREE GIFT
As a way to say “thank you” to all of you who subscribe to Man vs. Row by email, I’m going to give away some cool stuff in July (2014). If you subscribe to MvR, I’ll send you a free report, “10 Things The Pro Knows.” I’ll also send you the guitar/vocal of “Crickets,” which is the title track of Joe Nichols’ current album. You’ll get to hear the song as Joe heard it when he decided to record it. You’ll also receive the lyric file of the song- and this lyric file includes “Baxter’s Boneyard” – all the lines that DIDN’T make it into the song (see if you agree with our choices). It’s something nobody else has seen, and I think it’s pretty cool. But, again, this gift is only for those who subscribe to Man vs. Row by E-MAIL. These gifts will be sent by email, so if I don’t have your email address, I can’t send it to you. God Bless!
YOU VS…
Anything you’d like to add or ask? Leave a comment! Are there any topics you’d like to see addressed in a future MvR post? Thanks!

The brilliance of that is in its simplicity and common sense. It is also something we all should be doing but don’t on a regular basis. I’m including myself here. As a songwriter it’s easy to get caught up in one thing. And that one thing is writing or trying to write great songs continually. While writing great songs is what you have to do to get a major label cut, the fact is you could very well be writing the wrong great song at a particular point in time to enhance your chances of getting a cut in a reasonable time frame. Also, have you done what’s necessary to allow you to get that song heard by the decision makers? Did you line up the right demo singer to do the vocals? Etc etc.
