You karate yes, you karate no, you karate so-so, squish just like grape.

It’s all about balance.

And, as you already know, creating, marketing, and performing your music is a full blown entrepreneur endeavor all its own requiring that balance.

Not sure if you heard of Taxi, but if you’re looking to play around with getting your music in TV and film, Taxi is an outlet for that. Also there are places which purchase music for when people are on hold on the phone.

Best wishes on getting your tunes out there.

My point of making it your business was more on the lines of making something your habit, your value, your way of conducting yourself.

You know, if someone says, “It’s none of your business.” They don’t mean business as entrepreneurship.

Similarly, one might say, “I make it my business to e-mail every client with a personal thank you.”

That too doesn’t mean a brick and mortar or virtual business doing that act.

That said, far be it from me to say helping others isn’t a business. Just look at your Brian Tracys, Tony Robbins, and Seth Godins of the world. They’ve built careers, not to mention public personalities, on helping others help themselves.

Really, isn’t that what business is all about? Helping others meet a need for a fee. Where the difference is, is to always do more than you are paid for, and you’ll be whistling Dixie north of the Mason-Dixon Line.

As far as making it one’s business to help others which in turn helps you, probably the best way is to look at the world through your customer or client’s view.

When we go for coffee with a friend, we appreciate the waitress stopping by with a pot more than a couple times asking, “Can I top off your cup for you?”

That’s better than us feeling we need to shake down a waitress like a New York cab just to get the second cup after the bill was given.

Just thinking a step or two ahead of a customer to anticipate a small need you can fulfill is great, or even making them feel like they are the most important customer to you, can go a long way.

Hope that answered your question, if not? Let me know.
