5 Big Questions For Every Songwriter And Artist
/
iDoCoach Blog
The Idea
I’m working with songwriters around the world, every week, and one of the first things I ask them to do before we jump into coaching is answer 5 questions.
There are lot’s of reasons behind this idea but most of all it helps me ( and them) get to the core of their desire. There are no wrong answers. Years ago I had a meeting with Simon Cowell and he asked “who are you and why should I care”. He was kidding... I hope, but the idea stuck with me. Knowing why you’re on this path and what you have to offer really is huge . So ask yourself...
The 5 Questions
1) What do I want?
2) Why do I want It?
3) How will I get there?
4) What tools do I need?
5) Where am I right now?
