"GET OUT OF YOUR OWN WAY"
Sometimes we just don't get it' a business promotes a 1/2 off ad and a consumer come in with the expectation that the business should give away even more freebes that are not listed in the promo; like Mastering, Additional time to mix and in some cases; try to negotiate an even lessor promo price than $35 & $45 per hour; and this does not apply to all of our clients, but the numbers are sometimes as high as 2 out of every 5.
We look at it as a lack of understanding. WJRRS's objectives, common business practices; new business in the community; and tested sales tactics; we have to continue to position ourselves to cover business expenses as well as serving our community in a cost effective manner for both us and the customers.
Now for the "We Get in Our on Way" critic.
Sometimes and we use the word sometimes because we want our readers whom may be guilty of getting in their own way to succeed not only in the music industry, but in any other aspect of life; so we refer to the topic as "WE" so; We sometimes get in our own way by refusing to move on move up; excel, leave out our friends and family, to put our unsuccessful ways aside. Let’s break it down into layman’s term: We have moved up in life and we want to take everyone with us; in in most cases; you have moved up and or reached your goal and venturing into even greater other possibilities that will become a reality of wealth through achievement; achievements beyond the thinking of some friends and family. Meaning as Tyrese Gibson quotes "There are seasons for relationships" meaning that We change by reaching for the sky by planning and deploying actions for our plans; BUT SOME OF OUR FRIENDS AND EVEN FAMILIES; are still doing THE SAME OLD THING' which leads to generations and generations of failure; unfulfilled dreams. Tyrese also quoted recently on a BET TV show The Monique Show' "WHY DO I HAVE TO LEAVE MY OWN HOUSE SMELLING LIKE WEED AND I DON'T EVEN SMOKE" Now that quote said it all' Let's put it this way' how many of your friends and even families chose to live a simple and or basic lifestyle; which is perfectly alright; but you on the other hand' wants to someday live a more lavish lifestyle and that is perfectly alright. Now here comes the but: But, it is not alright for the person who have made his/ her dream a reality to let people who are still living in his or her past (doing the same old thing) to continue to operate in your life in a manner that is out of season; meaning it is ok to cut off some people; ok to not accept the ways of people who refuse to change for the better. Now don’t get it twisted; success is reaching whatever goals we may have on the hour, day, month, year or decade; it is inevitable that goals are set by everyone; but some goals are not the same as others; first it takes interest, ambition, planning (hard work and dedication) and patient endurance and if we are consistent; we more than likely will achieve success beyond the minds of some of our friends and families; that's ok to: with every kind of success; we can use it to inspire others to reach for the highest sky they can imagine. Inspiration is a seed that can grow into something so so great: GREAT' look it up'
Wow we had a lot to say before this next paragraph; hey' someone had to say something. So we say to our artists clients; please try to recognize the value in the service we provide, and our prices; well you know; they are unbeatable. Where else are you going to be able to take advantage of promos that often give you free mixing with the recording session at a rate of $35 & $45 per hour and treat you like you are just as big as any major artist who's gone on to be a big success; We don't need to negotiate something so perfect. I products and services we feel; is like a wheel' it is perfectly round; we don't need to change anything about it to help it to roll better; it's round. We challenge you to work inside the ring and keep all the tricks and unwelcome practices to yourself. We operate a professional business and we expect the same respect for us as a company as most people have for their Mothers and Fathers and we mean it with love.
Set a goal to change something in your life that can enhance the quality of your life and inspire someone else.
