Moving from 2011 into 2012
Most people make a resolution or two at this time of year: they’re going to be bigger and better, work harder and longer... They’re going to focus on something ... and make it. They’re so wrapped up in what they think is coming that they can’t see what they’ve already got.
Realize that your successes don’t always show up in the packages you imagine.

The Christmas Gift List
If you’re making a Christmas List this year make sure you give this important gift to yourself—a career plan. You can go from group to group, gig to gig, tour to tour ... and just help someone else carry out their plan or you can make what you do for them a piece of your own strategy. It’s the best present you’ll ever get ... and getting there is the best present you’ll ever give to those you love.

When you’re working hard to create an impression make sure you’re working hard at creating the right one: The one that other performers want to work with. It doesn’t matter how talented you are...you still have to do right

I’ve added some words to this quote by Maya Angelou:
“I've learned that people will forget what you said (in an interview), people will forget what you did (on or off stage), but people will never forget how you made them feel (good or bad).”
Every time you perform you have the power to make a difference -- use the power the right way.

The Law of the Three P’s never fails. Always be as properly prepared as possible.
Wanting to be a Rock Star doesn’t make you one. You have to be prepared to do the work to get there. It’s the commitment you make to yourself to do what it takes to be the best every day, every time, and every show.

The greater danger for most of us lies not in setting our aim too high and falling short; but in setting our aim too low, and achieving our mark.
--Michelangelo

Great performers understand this very basic theme and that it never changes. Dream Big and then do what it takes to get there.

Learn to work your own personal advantage.
Some people call it being authentic but I like to think of it as really adding “you” to what you already do. Figure out what makes you stand out from the musical crowd and work it. It’ll set you free.

Music, the art of performing and making money doing what you do is a constantly changing platform. You need to stay plugged in and push yourself because it’s no longer what you did then; it’s how you do what you do now. You can lead, keep up or keep trying to catch up.... but leading the way is the only way for you to get exactly what you want.
Huffisms… just my small opinion
