Happy Friday

 

We've almost made it through January! 

 

Many thanks If you took the time to check out my new music video on Wednesday. Views, comments, likes and shares really help to build a Youtube channel.

 

Here’s the link again - Life by Glass if not.

 

In fact (Free tip for you) Google loves Interaction with online content.

 

As you know I’m on a mission to help people become self reliant - that's why I harp on (sorry 😆) about what my friends and biz partners at SFM and DEA  do in that respect.

 

Its what I realised I needed to do when I was laid off twice between 2010/12

 

And the internet was the obvious place to do that. That's 10 times truer now BTW

 

And education is the key - hence SFM, DEA. That's why I stress the importance of using this time to set yourself up for whatever’s coming next.

 

But I was just thinking about everything I’ve learned during the various lockdowns in the last year - it is almost a year!

 

I learned how to use Logic Pro - a professional music production software suite. They offered a free trial (as SFM do) which gave me a chance to familiarise myself with it a bit and realise it was worth having.

 

I learned a new way to string a guitar and how to use a type of Capo I’d never even heard of ( a device that clamps on to the guitar neck)

 

Using these things was inspiring so I wrote and recorded some new songs and started work on some new videos to accompany them.

 

This stuff is all pretty time consuming. I probably wouldn’t have done it if I was tied to a 9-5 or running an offline business.

 

But with an online business I can pick the couple of hours per day I spend on it and do what I want with the rest of the time - lockdown or not.

 

Time freedom for me is the best thing about the digital world. But ironically getting it takes ……. time

 

A luxury we seldom have - or had

 

Right now lots of people have a massive chunk of time do something with.

 

Some will just waste it and go back to the same old same old (hopefully) when normal life resumes.

 

Others will use it wisely and emerge with valuable new skills

 

I’m here to help the second team

 

Bests
