things not to care about

I love this post by Dan Willis. → “Things I Don’t Care About”

I agree with a lot of it too; especially #2, #10, and #14.

I always appreciate people who are so direct that it’s mildly uncomfortable for everyone else… makes you think.

About

Tom Leu: writer, speaker, muse-ician. Creator of the RockStar Way™ resources which include Success-Soundtracks™, Mindesigns™, the Musician’s Corner® New Band Tips, and new[r]age™ music.

rock star (noun) Someone who strives to be their best - personally and professionally.

The RockStar Way™ = Lifestyle Initiative Training.

Intersecting music, motivation and life; this is a unique brand of motivational resources and live presentations that blend the insights of a teacher with the encouragment of coach delivering electric inspiration that empowers potential! To encourage that endeavor, this blog features reflections from the edge: writings, audios, and videos about personal development topics, spiritual musings, and marketing tips for new bands and musicians. Also appearing are Today in Music History installments, pop culture commentaries, and reviews of books, music, movies, etc. The RockStar Way™ is about rock and roll that’s motivational. It’s about life with insight and inspiration mixed in. It’s about experience earned from lessons learned. It’s a continuum and it’s a journey…

I write and produce inspirational articles, audios, videos, books, and live presentations on personal development-related topics encouraging people to be the best at what they do the best.

Tom Leu I write and produce original radio programming and soundtrack music.

I’m a professional public speaker, panelist, and event emcee.

I hosted a television talk show for 5½ years.

I am a college instructor with a Masters Degree in Psychology.

I’ve owned and operated two small businesses since 2001.

I was an award-winning sales manager, account executive, and Director of Operations for two Fortune 500 companies.

I’ve been a musician for over twenty years.

I am a lifelong student of music, music history, and the timeless principles of personal development. After years of pursuing and “doing” each of these things separately, I realized that by marrying the excitement and energy of rock-n-roll with powerful motivational and inspriational messages, the result would be a new and unique brand of success psychology that rocks!

FAQ…

What’s your message? To encourage people to be the best at what they do the best™. It’s a journey, not a destination.

What do you mean by “RockStar?” No matter what you do, whether it’s on the job or at home… to be a “rock star” means to excel and strive to be at the top of your game, your profession, your life.

Is this stuff only for musicians? No. It’s for anyone… students, parents, managers, executives, or entreprenuers… anyone who has a genuine interest in personal growth and professional development.

What’s your favorite kind of music? I write original music that blends elements of Rock and New Age into what I call new[r]age™ music. I’m an 80’s alumni so I also like big rock… the punchy, good time, groove-laden, heavy-riff kind of anthemic music that moves you. So whether it’s balls to the wall rock, ballads, pop, or ambient instrumental, I like it all.
