The Difference Between Motivation and Inspiration

Andrew Hitz

This is a quick chat I streamed on The Entrepreneurial Musician YouTube channel.

It is on the difference between motivation and inspiration (and why motivation is NOT the first step but the end result.) It applies just as much to practicing and performing as it does to the business side of my career.

And it features about 30 seconds of me laying down some tuba at the very beginning of the video.

Enjoy!

TEM243: Plan On Your Plan Changing

Andrew Hitz

TEM243

A reminder from Simon Sinek that you need to plan on your plan changing.

I stumbled onto a killer quote from Simon Sinek that applies just as much to our time in the practice room as it does to the business side of music:

“Always plan for the fact that no plan ever goes according to plan.”

I talk about the constant that is plans changing in short episode plus share my thoughts on this incredible quote from Brené Brown:

“I can't be paralyzed anymore by the critics. My new mantra is, if you're not in the arena getting your ass kicked on occasion, then I'm not interested in your feedback. You don't get to sit in the cheap seats and criticize my appearance or my work with mean-spiritedness if you're also not in the arena.”

That quote had me doing fist pumps! You can listen below or wherever you get your podcasts (including Spotify, Apple Podcasts, Stitcher and a whole bunch of other places.)
