Ep157 Why use a planner (for D.I.Y. Rock Star planning)? As you might know, we have just unboxed our latest Plum Paper Planner (https://bit.ly/plumplannerunbox3). I am not going to lie; it was thrilling. But it made me wonder, realistically, what is the purpose of utilizing a planner for the D.I.Y. Rock Star? That is what we are exploring today. In our minds, there are a few really specific reasons to use some method of formal planning and here they are: Reasons to use a planner for D.I.Y. Rock Star planning: 1. Guide your time (to support your vision) 2. Track your progress (for newsletter and for habit tracking) 3. To help visually chunk out time (without it, time seems big and amorphous and you can get lost in the daily living) 4. To track our income and expenses What planning method do you use? How does it help you live your D.I.Y. Rock Star lifestyle? We’d love to hear about it. Leave it in the comments below. —— We have decided, upon popular demand, to offer you, our listeners, a chance to get a fully loaded two-disc vinyl version of our new funk album, “Sugar Fit.” Click the link below to make your presence felt.

Ep 156 Lessons Learned in 2020 Video Description This year is probably going to be THE most memorable for anyone who is alive right now. It’s had its share of struggles, that’s for sure. But, as always, we like to figure out how to get the good out of EVERYTHING, so we have flipped this idea around and are asking what lessons have we learned from 2020? #lessons #adversity #2020 #diyrockstar #endofyear #prejippie #bloomingprejippie #reflection Lessons learned in 2020: 1. The ability to do hard things to help open up new opportunities (being social is hard, but we are doing it) 2. The ability to rise to the challenge (whatever it may be) 3. The ability to pivot into something new and creative What do you think? What did you discover about yourself or the world that became clear this year? We’d love to hear your suggestions.

Ep 155 Musical Discovery 3 Christmas Edition Video Description Even though it’s 2020 and we’re in the middle of a pandemic, we are still heading into the holiday season. Not only is this the time to remind yourself of how blessed you are if you are alive and healthy, but it’s time to celebrate the season with music. We thought we’d share some more unusual choices for your holiday playlist. (Here is the entire playlist: http://bit.ly/Musicaldisc3playlist ) #holidays #playlist #christmas #diyrockstar #playlist #prejippie #bloomingprejippie #songs This is our gift to you for this really weird 2020 holiday season. Surprisingly, we have never done a Christmas music one, but here’s why. As you PROBABLY could have guessed, this list could have been massive and could have taken over a city block or something, but I THINK we have managed to whittle it down enough to be digestible. (Check out the episode for the list!) What do you think? What Christmas songs—and/or who’s renditions—really get you in the holiday mood? We’d love to hear your suggestions. Leave a comment below.

Ep 154 The Value of Refreshing Your Vision Board (for the D.I.Y. Rock Star) We've refreshed our board three times now. (Check out more on vision boards: http://bit.ly/rockstarvision ) Why did we do it? Aren't our goals pretty much still the same? Here’s why you MIGHT want to take another look at your overall vision. #vision #visionboard #goals #diyrockstar #planning #prejippie #bloomingprejippie How often should you update it? It's up to you, but the two best times would seem to be about once a year (if your goals/circumstances haven't changed much) or when you know your goals are not reflected accurately. What about you? Have you created a vision board yet? If not, why not? We've a free download to help you do one for yourself. http://bit.ly/visionprintable If you do, how often do you update it? We'd love to hear about it. Drop it in the comments below. Taking a holiday break. Will give you a first-time ever holiday episode, so keep an eye out for that.

Ep 153 Why ugly is so pretty The power of grow on you tunes As far as we know, this term was coined by our good buddy, Marx Talley. It refers to songs that you really can’t stand initially, but that eventually end up being among your favorites. We’ve talked about this pretty recently, actually. But why do these songs have this twisted power over us? And don’t you REALLY want to know, because you want to have that power over others? (Ep 151 https://bit.ly/Ep151Awfulvid and to Prince G.O.T. http://bit.ly/princecountdown ) #musicispower #uglyispretty #diyrockstar #growonyou #prejippie #bloomingprejippie 1. It moves you. (The other side of hate is love; it moved you in some sort of way) 2. It calls on that side of you that likes being “deep” (it requires that you stretch to meet it; it appears unknowable) 3. It is more interesting because it is so memorable (or vice versa) (When something is basic, it does not give you “anything to hold on to,” as our buddy Anthony Pierson used to tell us decades ago.) What do you think? When have you heard a song that you thought you absolutely hated only to hear it again and find that you REALLY love it? We DEFINITELY want to hear about that!

Ep 152 What’s the MOST important asset of the D.I.Y. Rock Star Mindset Video Description I just heard an recent interview with Les Brown (on the Every Day is Saturday Podcast). He said that the MOST important quality that successful entrepreneurs possess is to be skillful at telling a story (or at communicating). We take issue with this and propose that MINDSET is THE most important quality that determines success. Here’s why. 3 Reasons Why Mindset is the Most Important Asset: 1. Mindset determines your stamina to create and to continue 2. Must have something to prove (to yourself and/or to others) 3. It’s THE most important asset you possess (well beyond talent and opportunity) What do you think? Is there something greater than mindset that helps determine a creators’ success?

Ep 151 I’d Rather be Awful, Than Be Blah…. Video Description This topic is adjacent to a topic that it has taken us about 30 years to figure out, that the girl that’s ugly is more memorable than the girl that’s perfectly pretty. Hey, you’re just going to have to tune it to know what the hell we’re talking about with this one! #awful #sugarfit #prejippie #bloomingprejippie #movements #whosays #musicianlifestyle #artisticfreedom #diyrockstar 5 Points to Consider for Being Memorable Rather than Perfect: 1. Movements are created from the awful 2. Awful is memorable; blah is not 3. As long as awful is a sincere expression of something deeper, there is a sustainable future for it 4. Who says it’s awful? 5. What is lost when we are “perfect” (Who are you trying to please? Where is the YOU in that?) What do you think? Can you be too ugly or awful? What does perfection cost you?

Ep 150 Goals: Why less is more (for the D.I.Y. Rock Star) Video Description This is a follow up to our “19 for 2019” (http://bit.ly/19for2019blog ) and our “20 for 2020”( http://bit.ly/20for2020goalsvidprej ), where we shared our plans for the year. All we can say is that 2020 is unfolding and is forcing us to look at things differently to decide what is REALLY important. So, we’ve changed slightly in our thinking (as we are sure many of you have). We discuss the 4 reasons why when it comes to goals, less is more. (Check out the episode, so see if you have just the right amount of goals.) What do you think? Can you ever have too many goals? What will that major list of goals cost you?
