"Being creative is enough."

If Your Heart Isn't In It Put It In It Or Don't Do It

September 19, 2013

Only your heart knows the truth. Nothing is truer to my soul than music. This is where my heart is happiest. When I am around music my heart is happy. It is as simple as that.

Being a musician, an artist, is a very high calling and demands everything from a person. Sometimes it demands too much. You gladly sacrifice your life to your art, but there may come a time when that sacrifice becomes a burden to others and that is not okay. No matter the reasons, artists often find themselves squeezing the last drop of copper out of every penny. Somewhere down the line, there comes a time when barely making ends meet gets tiresome and then even the artist’s mind turns to making money. Making music, making art and making money don’t always happen the way you want it to. So, you become faced with making money, and as an artist, this is not such an easy thing to say.

Money is cold and hard and has no soul

I have great difficulty putting my heart into anything having to do with making money. After all, we have always been taught that if you do something for the money it is immoral somehow.

The only thing about making money that is immoral is making it by being unethical or doing something illegal and at the expense of someone else. Otherwise, making money is THE most moral thing you can do, because that is what people are supposed to do. Make as much money as they can and learn how to keep it.

So, how do I put my heart into making money? By doing what I love, or sharing my knowledge with others about what I love. You put your heart into making money by inspiring, entertaining, educating, creating and engaging your audience with things that lift you up and will lift them up or be of some service to them. Intrinsic Value = Monetary Value.

There is the saying that your income reflects your value in the marketplace. If you aren’t adding value in the marketplace then you have no right to expect compensation for it, and moreover, you won’t get compensation for it.

Your Highest Value Is What Your Heart Deems Valuable

Your heart knows you and you can’t fake it out. The inner mirror will show you every time whether you are you or trying to be someone else. So, the best way to be valuable is to express what is the most valuable to you whatever that is.

I am working hard to get back to singing again because I feel in my heart that is what my highest value is, if it doesn’t work, then I have to express myself musically in some other way and at that same level. That is truth to me.

But, part of that truth is expression through writing, recording audios and doing videos about the things I care about and am excited about, about music, art, people, sports, friends and family. Expressing myself into the world about what is valuable to me is my highest and best value in the marketplace.

This is why I am so compelled by the Empower Network. I can express myself in ways about music and everything else for that matter, which make me happy, motivates me and inspires me. But what is really exciting about it is that it is the most lucrative way to make money on the internet, expressing what I love.

But, more than that, I can provide a way through telling my stories and my thoughts, which can help people get involved with the Empower Network and learn to make a significant income as well. *Income Disclaimer Here!*

You want to pass it all on and help others out not only with nice words, songs, art and some sort of expertise, but you can also give them a really powerful vehicle to change their lives financially in a significant way. If they don’t want to, you have still given them value and make new friends.

One very valuable contribution I can make to those who come into my world is to offer people a way to make their own money, and from my experience thus far in the states this fall, a lot of people need it desperately. In fact, if I don’t do it, I am cheating them out of a wonderful opportunity and I can’t let that happen.

So, maybe you are seeing this post on Facebook, Twitter or You Tube and think “Oh Tim is trying to sell that thing again I wished he would stop it with these posts…” I know…I had a landlord say years ago that he was tired of walking down the street and it seemed like he couldn’t walk another step without someone trying to sell him something.

I get it, I understand, in fact I used to feel this way to. But, I see things differently now. Those folks are the hustlers, those who are trying to make their own money, businesses who survive through hard work and perseverance and don’t depend on a paycheck from an employer, in fact, THEY are the employers.

I ask that you give me the benefit of the doubt here because this is an amazing business opportunity for those who aren’t too proud to stick their necks out and make an offer… like… click here, enter your email address and watch the video! 

I’m going to keep doing this, so you may as well get used to it, because, I love to write about what I am thinking and what I care about and love. Music, art, dance, literature, people, friends and life experiences. I hope you enjoy it!
