“High achievers spot rich opportunities swiftly, make big decisions quickly and move into
action immediately. Follow these principles and you can make your dreams come true.”

For this week’s post I want to post a simple, yet life changing question to you, and that question is…….
What Would You Do If You Knew You Could Not Fail?
Here is what I want you to do.
Think about your dreams with the key focus being: What Would You Do If You Knew You Could Not Fail? Create your own Mission Statement and be as specific as you can. Identify the who, what, where, when and how, if possible. While it’s certainly easy to giggle and joke around because of your discomfort at having to identify the specifics, be serious about this. After all, this is your dream. You don’t need a fairy godmother to wave her magic wand. It’s all you.
You will determine whether you will succeed at grabbing the star, or if you just have plain bad luck. If you’d like, share your mission statement in the comments section or just write it down and put it somewhere where you can see it on a regular basis. << This part is really immportant because it reenforces your dream to your subconcesus mind.
The whole point of this exercise is to be able to visualize your dream so it is incredibly real to you. You can see it–even the very minute details of what is happening when you realize you have achieved your dream.
In Fact, I’ll Lead By My Own Example….Here Is My Can Do Mission Statement:
I AM working smartly to make Platinum Millennium Publishing the #1 and most visible supplier of music industry success resources (such as books, ebooks, audios, courses and other learning instruments) on the Internet by the end of 2009
The way this works is, when you think about what you want with a clear, positive can do attitude, and are specific to what you want, you are instilling this core belief into your daily actions. No matter what obstacles are thrown in your path, you will be able to focus on your can do mission statement and find a way to move forward and work toward your dreams.
Now here is what I want you to do… I want you to either leave a comment about this post, telling me what you think of this concept and/or I want you to leave a comment telling me exactly what YOU would do if you knew that you could NOT fail!!!!
I want to get at least 10 comments on this (To be honest with you everyone who is reading this and who calls him or herself being *Serious* about having a successful music career should be leaving a comment here… Winnners take action, losers only talk about what they will do!
Rules:
Think about your dreams with the focus of What would you do if you knew you could not fail?
Write down a specific can do mission statement in the comment section.
Due to holidays and tax day, the deadline to post a comment is Wednesday, April 18th.
Let’s keep comments positive and encouraging so people feel safe posting their dreams here.

Peace Universe!!! If I knew I could not fail I would push myself 2 the limit physically, mentally and spiritually leaving no gray areas therefore I’d be the best that I can be literally!!! This would also lead 2 me traveling around the whole world uplifting the people at the same time 2 make this a better place 4 us all…1
I will just be myself the way i get inspired to the way i write compose perfom and record my stuff i wouldnt change anything because i know im on the right path
If i knew i couldnt fail, i would proceed to suceed. success would give me that boost to become even more responsible, determined, & driven to achieve all goals. also i would be in better positions to help others no fail at whateva they are tryin to pursue. All it takes is one act of random kindness and everything will fall into place.
I found that music publishers give up front advances to songwriters so that they can write songs throughout the year. Wow! An advance to do something I would love to do! That’s a blessing! Then I found that publishers mostly signed established artist. That’s disappointing. That leaves my talent to be an after thought. I’m certain I have what it takes to make millions, but…I’m not an ‘established’ artist.
If I knew I would not fail. I would find who I need to reach out to at the music publishing companies to obtain a publishing contract and obtain the contract. Write hit songs and make millions.
Oh, and I’m also a very gifted singer. I also dream of releasing an album as well.
I really like what you are doing here, because there is so much truth to what you are saying. I loved the Secret, and have tried to apply those principles consistently. However what I am finding is that I have made so many poor decisions in the past, I try and try, but can’t seem to relinquish my fear; it’s always there, although I can sometimes bury it. Also, it’s easy to say and do all these things when you’ve had some success, but much tougher starting out.
All my life I’ve wanted to write somgs, play the guitar and sing. Did I do these things? Yes until I got to college. THEN I went to law school because of ridiculous family pressure. Law school was the biggest mistake of my life!!! My whole soul went black until New World Publishing encouraged me with my writing a couple of years ago. I get to finally retire at the end of next year with a pension. I still look good but am getting a little long in the tooth to be singing and cannot play the guitar well anymore. The singing I think I csn still do, but it would just be for recording and trying to get other people to record and sing my songs. I’ll never stop writing because it is part of me, but at some point I have to make some money. I’ve already sunk a ton of money into NWP and Music Group 3 records with whom I have three contracts for single songs, and a fourth one I would like to sign but cannot afford to at this time. I have trouble with my attitude because I have to work for at least one more year to get my pension and I hate my work (legal)!!! On my day off I am extremely happy, positive, and productive. Then you mentioned sometihing the Secret doesn’t have the guts to mention—what if you just have bad luck??? The Secret says it is your fault, which I think is a little punitive and unrealistic. Thanks for letting me vent.
Thanks of your suggestion.
I have some problems with my goals description, but I follow the vision thinking, almost recable. Peace and love is what I want.
I have written 30 songlyrics, 2 books, able to play my Takamine guitar, sing tenor and have a Masterdegree in IT, been IT mangaer. Finace cries stopped my IT work, so I want to be a writer og an musican. My problem is that I am 41 years. Leonard Coehn was 28 when he changed from writer to musican. Is it possible…..
I will have a notable artist singing one of the songs I wrote by October of the year 2009. I plan to do this by copywriting every song I’ve ever written, then coming in contact with the different artist that I visualize sing each song. Futhermore I plan to find out who’s in charge at each record label and set up a meeting so that we may discuss what kind of songs artist are in the market for then I will utilize my creative artistic abilities to provide them with the lyrics needed to produce that song.
Iam a student nurse in the second year and I want to succeed in both nursing field and music.
If I knew I could not fail I am certain that I would become bored with life. Part of life is pushing yourself to be your best at whatever you do, shoemaker or guitarist. When I start a new project, I set goals and try my best to be the best. If I was always the best without the effort or the fear of failing. What fun would it be to be the Best?

I must say it is an excellent question though!!!
IF I KNEW I COULD NOT FAIL I WOULD HELP EVEYONE IN THE WORLD IN NEED AND GIVE THEM FOOD, WITH DECENT HOUSING, EDUCATE THEM TO KNOW/LOVE, AND APPECIATE ONES SELF. SHOW THEM TO TREAT EVERYONE IN NEED THE SAME. BASICALLY I WOULD SAVE THE INNOCENT FROM HARM. PEACE.
I know I can not fail, because my life is now related to God,
Jehovah. “He lifted me out of the slimy pit, out of the mud and mire; He set my feet on a rock and gave me a firm place to stand.” Psalm 40:2 and “For God´s gifts and His call are irrevocable” Romans 11:29. I will continue to praise and laud my God. At this moment I have wrote 140 Gospel songs in the Spanish Language and translated 15 of them in the English Language, I have copyright issue by the Republic on Panama for
each one and I still continue writing in Spanish. I will press on, by the power the Lord is giving me.
i would not be proud of myself too much ..
i would just keep hardworking and will try to be beyond what i can be …………….
I have been receiving your messages and they have been wonderful and exciting.
Keep in touch even as i put up a watchful look.
Thanks,
Your faithful one.
I have to continue pushing, on friday, 27, one of my songs translated to chinese was corrected by an official translater, she is a sister that congregate on a chinese evangelical church. so, God is continuing opening doors for me to do my best effort on carrying the Gospel.
