Any little monkey's around watching what you do? Any BIG monkey's watching what you do?! Do what I say, not what I do! But really, we know we should 'lead by example.' In this episode I remember why I have to be the best version of my-self that I can be. It takes practice and work and growth everyday. It takes making growth and self-improvement a DAILY habit. A practice. A ritual. When I slip, how fast do I get back up and on that horse? What kind of attitude do I display during my failures and setbacks? Who might be taking their cues from ME? I have two little monkeys at home. How about you?

Have you ever wanted to do something but felt it was out of reach? Maybe it's too late to start? You're too old? Too tired? Too...?

Teaching music for many years, I would hear from parents all the time how they wish they could still play their instrument, but, they feel like it's too late to start back up.

Croix felt that way once; he wanted to run a marathon but feared he was too old, he didn't run at all, how was he supposed to complete a full MARATHON?!

But, the idea stuck with him.

Before he knew it he had run his first marathon!

Then, before the world knew it, "The Marathon Man" had been born!

Croix has run back-to-back marathon's across the United States!

In this interview Croix shares his story to inspire you to "Dream Big Act Big"!!

Why are routines important? What if you don't have a routine, what would your day look like? Hectic? Chaotic? Would you ever get anything done? What about kids, do they need a routine? Some parents are probably more open and less structured while others are at the opposite end of the spectrum and are more structured and regimented.

How can having consistency help you and your kids achieve more long term goals?

In what way might you be able to start teaching your kids about having a routine?

Do you have a regular "practice time" for you or your child to practice music?

Do you have a regular homework time?

This kind of consistency turns into a routine. A routine is kind of a series of habits that you already know the order of.

“We are what we repeatedly do. Excellence, therefore, is not an act, but a habit.”
– Aristotle

What are you in the habit of doing?

What habits make up your routine?

In this article discover how you can get the house cleaned while teaching your kids some valuable lessons about routine!

What is unique to you? All sorts of things, right? Which of those things are part of your highest and best self? Which parts are you holding you back? And, are those actually "parts of YOU" or are they simply habits that have been left unchecked? If you could identify which habits support you and your dreams and goals, and which habits don't, then it would probably be a little easier to focus on developing the ones that support you, and quiting or replacing or optimizing the ones that don't.

What about you goals/dreams as they relate to your bigger purpose?

What is YOUR bigger purpose? Do you have one? Do you know what it is?

How might one find their purpose?

Can it change/evolve over time?

If you were to find your own path, your own purpose, your own flow, what would it look like?

"Whether you think you can or whether you think you can't, you're right." - Henry Ford

Did you know you get to choose how you feel? Many of us go through life letting our feelings and emotions direct us. What is the difference if someone says to you, "Have a great day!" versus, "Make it a great day!"???

One is telling you what to do, have a great day, which is well-meaning of course, they could tell you to go do something else, but it is more of a well-wishing directed at you in a sense.

Whereas "make it a great day" is also telling you what to do, "make it a great day" and it is also presuming that YOU have the choice, power and ability to make it a great day.

This isn't just semantics!

You really get to choose. It's not always easy, but ultimately it is the one thing that we really do have control over. Or, at least we have the potential to take control over it.

But first comes recognizing that the choice is ours.

Then comes the daily practice of consciously choosing those feelings that serve us...easier said than done!

In this episode start discovering new ways to make it a great day for yourself!

As musicians we are often sold this idea that being broke is somehow noble. The term "Starving artist" is worn by some as a badge of honor.
