A principle I learned a while back with reading some of Steve Pavlina’s work is that if you want to be successful in your pursuits, you have to learn how to create and deliver value. While I’ve been spending years upon years creating and honing my musical and writing abilities, I’ve never been able to get the hang of getting the word out to a large audience. Thus, I’ve been unable to properly deliver the value that I’ve created. This has been frustrating to me as making music and working with manipulating sound is what I enjoy doing the most in life, and I quite enjoy writing in many different formats as well, especially in writing stories or writing about topics I like. I’m to blame for this lack of success, as I’ve spent too much time in my bear cave recording songs and albums, building sites, and writing drafts of stories without spending much effort on getting the word out. If I had to rank my balance, I’d say I’m likely at 95% create, 5% deliver. I’d like to get that percentage much more even. I know I haven’t been able to create much value with this blog as of late, save for people who enjoy reading my thoughts and those that like cat pictures. I wanted to do more with this blog and I still may end up doing so in the future – going down to one time a week gives me more time to think about something, thus having more time to create an article that delivers more value than these thrice-weekly posts. I’ll likely have to revise how I do these articles a bit and focus them a bit more, as I know I have the tendency to deviate from the topic at hand a fair amount. As an aside, I do think the batteries are still on the low side after such a draining experience with losing Mouse, though the ideas and thoughts are exploding as far as the [Philistine on the Sidewalk] project goes. In addition to all of the things I want to do with that project this year, I’m going to rework that 4 song EP that I had done for the now-defunct Cyanidic Rapture project and turn it into a Philistine on the Sidewalk EP. I’m going to do that first, since that EP mixed with [Enveloped] and all of my project work on the [Nevar Say Die! Compilation, Volume Three] are indicative of where my sound is headed. That makes sense, as I made all of that music last year. I also have all of the songs from all but one of my Amaranthine Skies and Cyanidic Rapture CDs available for download at multiple online retailers in single song form, but the only way for someone to find them is by blind luck. I want to take a good chunk of time next month once the blog has slowed down and do up the project websites so folks can find them more easily. I don’t why I haven’t done it before, but I think it’s likely that I created all of those CDs before I got into my current mindset. All I know is that I’ve got a lot more work to do in order to properly deliver all of the value that I’ve created over the years. Miles to go and all that.
