| 1. HAVE THE DREAM |
| WILL YOU BE ONE OF THE MANY WHO SETTLE FOR MEDIOCRITY, OR ONE OF THE FEW "TRUE ARTISTS" WHO SEEK EXCELLENCE! MAKE SURE YOUR DREAM IS BASED ON TALENT AND SKILL. . .NOT HYPE AND CONTROVERSY. |
| 2. SET STANDARDS |
| HAVE YOU DEFINED YOUR GOALS? PURSUED THE STEPS NECESSARY TO ACHIEVE THEM? ESTABLISHED YOUR STANDARDS MUSICALLY AND ETHICALLY? ALWAYS REFUSE TO ABANDON YOUR INTEGRITY. NEVER SELL-OUT! |
| 3. EXAMINE YOUR HEROES |
| HAVE YOU EXAMINED YOUR HEROES? YOUR ROLE MODELS? IS THEIR FAME BUILT ON A SOLID FOUNDATION OF QUALITY AND GREATNESS - OR UNEDUCATED, UNTALENTED, UNSKILLED, UNPOLISHED, UNDISCIPLINED, UNCONSCIONABLE ACTIONS AND ATTITUDES? EVALUATE CAREFULLY! |
| 4. DEVELOP A GREAT MIND-SET |
| IS YOUR MIND-SET FOCUSED ON THE THINGS THAT MATTER MOST? TALENT, ARTISTRY, INTELLIGENCE, INTEGRITY, PROFESSIONALISM, COMPLETENESS, PERFECTION? OR IS IT SIMILAR TO SO MANY "NO-TALENT-NO-INTEGRITY PERFORMERS. . .ARROGANT, EGOTISTICAL, LAZY, SELF-INDULGENT, IMPATIENT, UNTEACHABLE, IGNORANT, KNOW-IT-ALLS? ULTIMATELY, YOUR ACHIEVEMENT OF TOTAL ARTISTRY WILL DIRECTLY RELATE TO YOUR MIND-SET! |
| 5. BE TEACHABLE |
| DOES YOUR EGO "OUTSIZE" YOUR TALENT? OPEN YOUR MIND - HEAR THE TRUTH - ACCEPT CRITICISM - TRY NEW IDEAS! LEARN FROM THOSE WHO ARE TRULY QUALIFIED TO TAKE YOU BEYOND YOUR CURRENT ABILITIES. BE WILLING TO MAKE ANY CHANGES NECESSARY TO EXPAND AND PERFECT YOUR TALENT. |
| 6. ACQUIRE THE THREE "P'S" |
| DO YOU POSSESS PATIENCE, PERSISTENCE AND PERSEVERANCE? IF NOT, WORK TO DEVELOP THESE QUALITIES. YOUR SUCCESS WILL DIRECTLY RELATE TO YOUR LEVEL OF THESE THREE "P'S"! MANY HAVE FAILED DUE TO LACKING ONE OR MORE OF THESE! |
| 7. DEMAND MORE FROM YOURSELF |
| NO MATTER HOW LITTLE IS EXPECTED OF YOU, DO YOU DEMAND MORE OF YOURSELF? NO MATTER HOW LITTLE DIRECTORS, PRODUCERS OR AUDIENCES DEMAND, DO YOU DEMAND MORE? NO MATTER HOW MANY SO CALLED "ARTISTS" SLIDE BY AND DEMAND LITTLE OF THEMSELVES, DO YOU ALWAYS DEMAND MORE? ONLY WHEN THERE ARE MORE WHO DEMAND MORE, WILL ALL SINGERS BE HELD TO A HIGHER STANDARD! ONLY THEN - WILL THERE REALLY BE MANY "TRUE ARTISTS". DEMAND MORE! SEEK THEHIGHEST! SET THE STANDARD! |
| 8. NEVER COP-OUT |
| DO YOU COP-OUT? HAVE YOU BEEN WILLING TO ACCEPT OTHERS COPPING-OUT? WHY? AN ARTIST NEVER THINKS OF COPPING-OUT! A TALENTED AND EDUCATED SINGER NEVER NEEDS TO COP-OUT! A PERFORMER WITH INTEGRITY NEITHER ALLOWS NOR ACCEPTS COP-OUTS! NEVER! |
| 9. SURROUND YOURSELF WITH QUALITY |
| WITH WHOM DO YOU ASSOCIATE? SINGERS OF QUALITY, STANDARDS, INTEGRITY? PERFORMERS WHO ARE SEEKING OR HAVE ALREADY ACHIEVED ARTISTRY? "TRUE ARTISTS" WHO HAVE EDUCATED, REFINED, POLISHED AND ENHANCED THEIR TALENT? OR ARE YOU SURROUNDED BY SINGERS, MUSICIANS, DANCERS, ACTORS, AGENTS, MANAGERS, COACHES, DIRECTORS, PRODUCERS AND OTHERS WHO HAVE TAKEN THE EASY WAY. . .LOW STANDARDS, LITTLE EDUCATION, NO INTEGRITY OR ARTISTRY? PEOPLE WHO WILL TELL YOU THOSE THINGS ARE NOT IMPORTANT AND ENCOURAGE YOU TO ACCEPT MEDIOCRITY AS THEY HAVE? THE CHOICE IS YOURS. . .CHOOSE WISELY! |
| 10. BELIEVE IN YOU |
| IS BELIEVING IN YOU "BELIEVABLE"? IS IT BASED ON REALITY - NOT FANTASY? A BELIEF BASED ON KNOWING YOU HAVE EDUCATED, STRETCHED, ENHANCED AND REFINED YOUR TALENT AND ARE NOW READY TO SHOW THE WORLD? YOUR STANDARDS ARE HIGH! YOUR GOALS ARE SET! EACH CHOICE YOU MAKE WILL BE BASED ON POSITIVES. . .QUALITY. . .INTEGRITY! YOU WILL NOT COP-PUT! YOU WILL NOT SELL-OUT! YOU WILL ALWAYS DEMAND THE BEST, BE TRUE TO YOUR BELIEFS AND LOYAL TO YOUR IDEALS! YOU WISH TO LEAVE THE WORLD ENRICHED BY YOUR TALENT. . .UPLIFTED AND ILLUMINATED BY YOUR ARTISTRY! |
