Self mastery is the foundation, it&#8217;s the integrity that will guide the ship home. Today you are going to learn 11 Secrets For Self Mastery. <\/span><\/div>\n<div><\/div>\n<p class=\"ac-designer-copy\"><span class=\"ac-designer-copy\">Let&#8217;s start with the fundamentals.<\/span><\/p>\n<h2 class=\"ac-designer-copy\"><span class=\"ac-designer-copy\"><br class=\"ac-designer-copy\" \/><br class=\"ac-designer-copy\" \/><strong>1) Integrate a Daily Meditation Practice<\/strong> <\/span><\/h2>\n<p class=\"ac-designer-copy\"><span class=\"ac-designer-copy\">Meditate to slowly dissolve the resistance over time and get in touch with your true self\/higher self.<br class=\"ac-designer-copy\" \/><br class=\"ac-designer-copy\" \/>Meditation is the tool we use to get familiar with ourselves and get better at life.<br class=\"ac-designer-copy\" \/><br class=\"ac-designer-copy\" \/>\u201cThe cause of all power, as of all weakness, is within; the secret of all happiness as of all misery is likewise within.\u201d James Allen<br class=\"ac-designer-copy\" \/><br class=\"ac-designer-copy\" \/>It is the primary tool I\u2019ve used over the last 15 years to transform myself from an impoverished<br class=\"ac-designer-copy\" \/>Homeless kid to in command of my power as the Music Business Architect. As a Master Sergeant for the artists revolution. From no skills and experience to music business liberation. Liberating the music business. <br class=\"ac-designer-copy\" \/><br class=\"ac-designer-copy\" \/>Meditation is like hydration for the soul. With meditation you dissolve the resistance and fears that hold you back from trying and set yourself up for elevated states, thoughts, and vibrations. Ideas carry energy and meditation is the most sophisticated way to tap into the divinity within and tune your frequencies into harmony with that which you want.<br class=\"ac-designer-copy\" \/><br class=\"ac-designer-copy\" \/><\/span><\/p>\n<h2 class=\"ac-designer-copy\"><span class=\"ac-designer-copy\">2) Use desire like fuel <\/span><\/h2>\n<p class=\"ac-designer-copy\"><span class=\"ac-designer-copy\">To grow your energy, momentum, and results.<br class=\"ac-designer-copy\" \/><br class=\"ac-designer-copy\" \/>Desire is better thought of as appreciating something into being so you are feeling the desired feeling as opposed to longing for the desire. Desire can be expanded upon and should be thought of as pathways of feeling that lead to actions for actualizing something from within.<br class=\"ac-designer-copy\" \/><br class=\"ac-designer-copy\" \/>Desires need to be meditated on and then aligned with consistently<br class=\"ac-designer-copy\" \/><br class=\"ac-designer-copy\" \/>Some of my desires are very common like the desire for a loving relationship. But some of my other desires are a little less common like My desire for getting into the flow state. My desire for music business liberation. My desire to serve my audience. My desire to be a masterful communicator. Some things to think about to clarify How does being a masterful communicator impact your world and the results that you are able to achieve? How will it make you feel when you are a masterful communicator and have that confidence?<br class=\"ac-designer-copy\" \/><br class=\"ac-designer-copy\" \/><br class=\"ac-designer-copy\" \/><\/span><\/p>\n<h3 class=\"ac-designer-copy\"><span class=\"ac-designer-copy\">3) Commit to the long term<br \/>\n<\/span><\/h3>\n<p class=\"ac-designer-copy\"><span class=\"ac-designer-copy\"> Recognize life works in seasons and cycles.<br class=\"ac-designer-copy\" \/><br class=\"ac-designer-copy\" \/>You\u2019re never done. Self Mastery is an ongoing evolution, it\u2019s one dimension of Modern Musicianship. Create a compelling vision and turn it into a mission. It\u2019s got to be something that inspires you. When people think they\u2019re going to make a million dollars in a short period of time, they are usually victim of the short term mindset. Commitment to the long term is what\u2019s required to grow a sustainable business and brand that increases in value. Modern Musicians don\u2019t believe in get rich quick schemes. They stake their claim by defining their purpose, their vision, their mission, their desires, their goals and all the steps to achieve them, and then get to work for as long as it takes to fulfill the vision. It\u2019s going to take years. Invest in the long term and enjoy the journey. Modern Musicians don\u2019t dabble, they master their career, content, life and self.<br class=\"ac-designer-copy\" \/><br class=\"ac-designer-copy\" \/><br class=\"ac-designer-copy\" \/><br class=\"ac-designer-copy\" \/><\/span><\/p>\n<h2 class=\"ac-designer-copy\"><span class=\"ac-designer-copy\">4) It\u2019s all in the way you do it = G-code<br class=\"ac-designer-copy\" \/><\/span><\/h2>\n<p class=\"ac-designer-copy\"><span class=\"ac-designer-copy\"><br class=\"ac-designer-copy\" \/>When I was a broke and homeless boy I began asking myself a question with regards to how I <br class=\"ac-designer-copy\" \/>Should use the moment in order to create the most value for me and all those I\u2019m here to serve in the future. What is the right thing, what is the right way, and what is the right time or order to do it in. Now it is a lofty ideal but think about the kind of power that a question like that asked repeatedly by the hour for 15 years will do to someones ability to use the moment to create value with and for their entire universe. <br class=\"ac-designer-copy\" \/><br class=\"ac-designer-copy\" \/>That question shaped the foundation of my personal and professional development over the last 15 years and become what we call The G-Code.<br class=\"ac-designer-copy\" \/><br class=\"ac-designer-copy\" \/>Genius<br class=\"ac-designer-copy\" \/>God<br class=\"ac-designer-copy\" \/>Greatness<br class=\"ac-designer-copy\" \/><br class=\"ac-designer-copy\" \/>It\u2019s not always perfect, as you can\u2019t know everything about how each opportunity is going to pan out, and sometimes perfection is the enemy of progress. Modern Musicians get the product out there and then iteratively refine and rewrite the song to improve and master it. They put it out there and then make it better over time. It\u2019s this attitude that causes them to perform far better than their peers in every aspect of their lives.<br class=\"ac-designer-copy\" \/><\/span><\/p>\n<h2 class=\"ac-designer-copy\"><span class=\"ac-designer-copy\">5) Master your focus<\/span><\/h2>\n<p class=\"ac-designer-copy\"><span class=\"ac-designer-copy\"><br class=\"ac-designer-copy\" \/>Purpose is what dictates your priorities.<br class=\"ac-designer-copy\" \/><br class=\"ac-designer-copy\" \/>Mastering your focus means narrowing your focus to expansively use it to create value.<br class=\"ac-designer-copy\" \/><br class=\"ac-designer-copy\" \/>You see mastering your focus means understanding what you are really focusing for and then spending all your attention focused on the core projects and activities that most move the needle forward on the business.<br class=\"ac-designer-copy\" \/><br class=\"ac-designer-copy\" \/>Modern Musicians master their fundamental use of resources, what you focus on expands.<br class=\"ac-designer-copy\" \/><br class=\"ac-designer-copy\" \/>Develop your focus muscles with practicing concentration. I started with 5 minutes and eventually stretched my focus muscles up to 12-15 hours. Start small. Increase over time with consistent practice.<br class=\"ac-designer-copy\" \/><br class=\"ac-designer-copy\" \/>You want to develop your focus into outcomes that you want and desire vs. Undesigned outcomes that you don\u2019t want.<br class=\"ac-designer-copy\" \/><br class=\"ac-designer-copy\" \/>The ability to focus is a superpower in a world where the long term focus isn\u2019t considered for most people.<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"ac-designer-copy\"><span class=\"ac-designer-copy\"><br class=\"ac-designer-copy\" \/>Modern Musicians<br class=\"ac-designer-copy\" \/>Train and focus like athletes, and they take action and focus like entrepreneurs.<br class=\"ac-designer-copy\" \/><\/span><\/p>\n<h2 class=\"ac-designer-copy\"><span class=\"ac-designer-copy\">6) Follow a system to set and achieve goals<br class=\"ac-designer-copy\" \/><\/span><\/h2>\n<p class=\"ac-designer-copy\"><span class=\"ac-designer-copy\"><br class=\"ac-designer-copy\" \/>Modern Musicians follow The Goal Achievement Process. Where they live into the blueprints of the lifestyle, goals and outcomes they want. You need to have a system to achieve goals and lasting change. Modern Musicians use the goal achievement system. Dialing into the sweet spot in your regimen while on a track to a clear destination is a very different situation than someone who hasn\u2019t thought about what they want or where they\u2019re going. Their is no purpose in their efforts, and no structure to support their full development.<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><\/h2>\n<h2 class=\"ac-designer-copy\"><span class=\"ac-designer-copy\"><br class=\"ac-designer-copy\" \/><br class=\"ac-designer-copy\" \/>7) Integrate Rituals and Practices that Generate Flow<br class=\"ac-designer-copy\" \/><\/span><\/h2>\n<p class=\"ac-designer-copy\"><span class=\"ac-designer-copy\">Rituals and good thinking, writing and speaking habits were how I gradually reconditioned and prepared myself to be my best as a daily segment of activities or rituals that renewed me and gave me a foundation for successful ways of being, and helped instill in me a success consciousness. Most mornings for 10 years I\u2019ve done my morning ritual and it consists of a regimen of tasks to awaken, prime and activate me through the day. It can vary from day to day as sometimes the activities like journaling, music, meditation, are replaced with affirmations or priming.<br class=\"ac-designer-copy\" \/><br class=\"ac-designer-copy\" \/>Get into Flow with the Flow Protocol = Get into flow via Workblocks and Worksets.<br class=\"ac-designer-copy\" \/><br class=\"ac-designer-copy\" \/>Everything I do in life centers around flow. It\u2019s this flow state that I live for. It\u2019s a passion and one of the foundational methods that optimize and trigger the flow state.<br class=\"ac-designer-copy\" \/><br class=\"ac-designer-copy\" \/>The flow protocol includes several components that inevitably bring you back into a state of flow and harmony in your life. If you get your vision, your purpose, your mission and goals right along with your sleep cycle right, your circadium rhythm, your morning ritual, your workblocks and worksets, your pit stops, and your daily rpm you will inevitably find your way to the sweetspot of flow, get into a rhythm and a flow with your activities and in certain stages and seasons of your life you will be overcome with joy and desire to do the thing you love to do most.<br class=\"ac-designer-copy\" \/><br class=\"ac-designer-copy\" \/><\/span><\/p>\n<h2 class=\"ac-designer-copy\"><span class=\"ac-designer-copy\">8) Self love and self compassion are key<br class=\"ac-designer-copy\" \/><\/span><\/h2>\n<p class=\"ac-designer-copy\"><span class=\"ac-designer-copy\"><br class=\"ac-designer-copy\" \/>This is the gift you give yourself for being a good person and having good intentions all your life. Self love and self compassion can be a miracle cure and should be practiced daily. Self love is how you get past the prison of poor conditioning and programming and transcend to higher levels of being and doing in life. You have to love the potential in you so much that it voids all objections to your path to actualization. Self love is how you can give your best to others. If you don\u2019t have love for yourself first, you wont have love to give to others.<br class=\"ac-designer-copy\" \/><\/span><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h2 class=\"ac-designer-copy\"><span class=\"ac-designer-copy\"><br class=\"ac-designer-copy\" \/>9) Master Your Learning journey<br class=\"ac-designer-copy\" \/><\/span><\/h2>\n<p class=\"ac-designer-copy\"><span class=\"ac-designer-copy\"><br class=\"ac-designer-copy\" \/>Make your rise to greatness an adventure with an epic learning journey. You need to design the curriculum of your life\u2019s development and unfoldment. Every book you read helps you uncover truths and develop skills and capabilities that serve your mission and purpose. Your intellectual journey can be a wellspring of energy and joy as you learn the keys to life. Your intellectual dimension should not be neglected with casual regard. Rather it can be shaped intentionally to grow and develop all areas of your life. Learning is not something you stop doing. To stop learning is to stop growing. Modern Musicians learn, study, and master their learning journey.<br class=\"ac-designer-copy\" \/><\/span><\/p>\n<h2 class=\"ac-designer-copy\"><span class=\"ac-designer-copy\"><br class=\"ac-designer-copy\" \/>10) Master Your Spiritual journey<br class=\"ac-designer-copy\" \/><\/span><\/h2>\n<p class=\"ac-designer-copy\"><span class=\"ac-designer-copy\"><br class=\"ac-designer-copy\" \/>Your spiritual journey is the reason that you are here in this life. You\u2019ve come here to fulfill your purpose and achieve your goals. Modern Musicianship is a spiritual journey as it is the development of your energy and your passion. As much as it is about achievement, it is about fulfillment, and that\u2019s more spiritual and inner game driven in nature. The spiritual journey unlocks another level of communication with yourself and others, as well as with god. The spiritual nature of your work as an artist or creator aligns and bridges, as well as expands and flows with your practice of Modern Musicianship.<br class=\"ac-designer-copy\" \/><\/span><\/p>\n<h2 class=\"ac-designer-copy\"><span class=\"ac-designer-copy\"><br class=\"ac-designer-copy\" \/><br class=\"ac-designer-copy\" \/>11) Master Your Emotional journey<\/span><\/h2>\n<p class=\"ac-designer-copy\"><span class=\"ac-designer-copy\"><br class=\"ac-designer-copy\" \/><br class=\"ac-designer-copy\" \/>Your emotional journey is the eb and flow of your emotions throughout the day. By focusing your thoughts you can activate certain emotions and generate the states you want to experience during the day. You can also choose to respond rather than react to emotional outbursts that might have gotten the better of you in the past. It is through the disciplined practice of thought and visualization, as well as segment intention and priming that you can live an emotionally rich life.<br class=\"ac-designer-copy\" \/><br class=\"ac-designer-copy\" \/>Success Conditioning contains a number of tools and techniques for belief clearing, overcoming challenges or limitations, gratitude, affirmation, declaration, incantation and visualization are all tools of success conditioning. Modern Musicians use them everyday to get them into the zone of optimal performance each day<br class=\"ac-designer-copy\" \/><br class=\"ac-designer-copy\" \/><br class=\"ac-designer-copy\" \/>There you have it, 11 Secrets for Self Mastery.
