Latest: #1 Billboard Heatseekers Album hit, Daily Guidance

Image via Wikipedia So, last I posted I mentioned the new direction I was heading thanks to Life Visioning. That is going well and much more has come about since. My company IndieHitMaker.com recently helped our client, One Less Reason, chart #1 in the country on the Billboard Heetseekers Album chart.  They even charged on the Billboard 200, Independent Artist and Hard Rock charts! That is truly incredible and we’re grateful to provide the service we do for all of our artists. I’m also enjoying posting the daily messages / guidance at my other blog, www.askrealitylove.com. You can always find out what I’m focusing on mentally / spiritually there. In fact, check out the latest message here and subscribe if you like: “All is perfect...

New Spiritual CD, Book and Site Launch

New Spiritual CD, Book and Site Launch

I’ve been enjoying Life Visioning: A Four-Stage Evolutionary Journey to Live as Divine Love from Michael Bernard Beckwith over the last few weeks (thanks in part to my good friend Ade), and as a result (CORRECTION: I realized later that this idea came up in a separate meditation session a day or so after a Life Visioning session), one of the steps I’ve taken is to launch a new spiritual website, book and musical CD.  More on this as it unfolds. Another big step, and probably the most surprising for me of all, is that I’m pursuing a new  career in addition to some of my other entrepreneurial ventures. Its exciting and I’m grateful to have the clarity to pursue it.  Again, I’ll keep you abreast once more details have unfolded! Love...

Recieved this Congratulations from The Recording Academy’s President/CEO

I just read this in my email and I must say, its interesting news for recording artists! Probably not so great for Radio, though. “Dear Recording Academy Member: Today the Senate Judiciary Committee considered our major legislative initiative, The Performance Rights Act. As I’ve written to you many times before, the bill closes the “corporate radio loophole” and makes terrestrial radio play by the same rules as Internet and satellite radio by compensating the performers of the music they play. It’s been a long road to get here, with many Academy members testifying before Congress, flying to Washington to lobby, and sending literally thousands of emails. Last week, we asked Academy members from the states of key Senators to weigh...
