Bad Music

If you want to make good music, you have to be willing to make bad music.

This morning I got a message from someone I love.

He inspires me to never give up and keep moving forward.

He’s also a very talented musician.

He sang me a line from one of his famous songs.

I heard his beautiful voice and was inspired. I wanted to sing him a line back but then a little voice inside said, ‘Paul, you can’t sing! You’ll sound awful compared to his seasoned voice.”

I thought about it for a few more minutes and decided to sing him a line back from another one of his songs, and I didn’t care how it sounded because it was going to be coming from my heart.

When I decided to host my first conference call back in 2009, only 2 people showed up.

Me and my friend Kris.

Over the years I kept singing my song and eventually, others started singing too and the music started reaching the hearts and minds of the people our music was supposed to serve.

Over time, that ‘bad music‘ has turned into

• priceless relationships,
• profitable business enterprises, and
• welcome sounds of hope and inspiration that has helped countless souls the world over to flip on the light switch of their hearts and decide to smile and move forward creating something better for themselves and the people they love.

None of that would have happened had I not been willing to make ‘bad music’ in the beginning.

What’s your ‘bad music’?

• Your first few prospecting conversations?
• Your first YouTube video?
• Your first FB live?
• Your first webinar?
• Your first book?

Whatever it is, I challenge you to open your mouth and sing it loud and proud because bad music, is how good music is made.
