Hey guys,

So it's Sunday and as you can see I decided to do some work from the beach just opposite the old broken pier which I love, it's so inspirational to live in such a beautiful city!

Anyway last night I was chatting to a guy who was heartbroken as his band had just broken up and so I thought I would add it on todays thought of the day and combine it with a small story.

On the day I left BIMM I went home and spent the day deciding what I would do with the rest of my life and what business I could start or whether I should start a new band. I was emotional, angry, confused but I knew I couldn't let time go by without having a plan on what was next. I started DK Music Management so I had an outlet for my creativity and something I could build from the bottom up.

However I missed a trick, I went into insular mode and I didn't tell people what I was doing or try and take them on my journey. I went missing for over a year as I built a business and I lost momentum with the relationships I had built up over 10+ years.

What I should have done was found a way to engage everyone and take them on my journey even if I didn't know what that journey would be. I should have been doing these videos in 2009 and by now would have had a much bigger engaged audience.

The decisions you make today effect your life tomorrow and your audience should be there with you for this band, but if it breaks up, they can be there for the next one, and the one after but only if you treat them right. Tell your story and take them with you and they will come for the ride.

So if your band has broken up and your a bit unsure whats next, I would recommend finding an outlet for your story on just 1 platform (Youtube and/or Insta) would be a good place to start. Don't spread them across every platform, just make a place that you can keep your audience warm and let them watch and see whats next. Don't wait until you have the next project and then tell the world like I did... it was the wrong strategy and lost a lot of momentum.

If you have read this... do something now... tweet me? snapchat story and add me, take a pic for your instagram ... do it now.. what have you got to lose?
