Maybe you were expecting it. Maybe you weren’t. Either way, it’s here – the new book, Start Your Year the Right Way: Goal-Setting, Planning & Achieving Big in Your Music Entrepreneurship Career.

You might recall that I hinted about this book in episode 94 of the podcast. That was almost a year ago now, so of course there’s the possibility that you don’t remember.

Now, if everything had gone according to plan, I would have launched this book in January or February. I had to get permission to use some of the content I included in the book, which is why it took a little longer to publish.

2019 still feels fresh to me, even though we’re already into March. I’m up to a lot right now, and the year is going by very quickly.

Anyway, my point is that it doesn’t matter when you pick up and read the book. If you’re having a great year already, you can use it as a springboard onto bigger and greater things. If you’ve starting to lose your steam, then you can use it to reset and set yourself up for an effective 2019.

If you’d like to check out the book now, just go to davidandrewwiebe.com/year. That’s musicentreprenuerhq.com slash y-e-a-r. You’ll be brought to the book’s Amazon listing.

And, of course, why wouldn’t you want to check out this book? You need it.

Just so you know, this book is a journal and workbook as much as it is a content-driven book. So, it’s for those who want to take some time to think and reflect on the year they just had and what they’d like to accomplish in the year ahead.

What I’d like to do now is read the introduction for you. I hope you enjoy it, and thanks for your consideration.
Introduction to Start You Year the Right Way: Goal-Setting, Planning & Achieving Big in Your Music Entrepreneurship Career
At the outset, I want to point out that this is a different kind of book. I know that may sound a bit ominous, so let me clarify (don’t worry, you didn’t buy a weird book by accident).

Every year, on The Music Entrepreneur HQ (my online business), I publish a series of posts to wind down the year past and clear the way for the year ahead.

I affectionately call this our New Year Content, which is typically comprised of several blog posts and podcast episodes, and sometimes videos too.

At first, it wasn’t anything spectacular or out of the ordinary. I shared a post or two about goal-setting and productivity and went on my merry way with publishing relevant content for my audience.

But as the years progressed, I started adopting more processes and habits that my life now revolves around.

It’s become hard to imagine not following these New Year rituals now. They’ve become a part of my DNA (and my business’ DNA too).

From closing the chapter on the past year to setting theme words for the New Year, these processes have brought a lot of clarity to my world. They’ve helped me reflect on what I’ve learned and achieved, unload baggage from years past and set my intentions for the year ahead. It sounds simple, but the results have at times been surprising and even miraculous.

And, with more processes and habits came more blog posts too. I started publishing more New Year Content to help people like you achieve clarity around your goals, be more productive and stay motivated throughout the year.

Motivation is important. But we all need access to something more than the hype-based rah-rah motivation which doesn’t last.

Motivation is important.
