The Power of Consistency Hard Work for Creative People I am not an artist. I don't paint pictures and I don't compose music. But still: I'm creative. A confession: I have 3 ideas per second for my business. Something always and everywhere comes up. Good for business? Yes, because you need ideas to create new things. No, because what's on the table needs to find customers before anything new can be launched. It needs consistency. I sometimes find it hard to do the same thing over and over again to get my sales done. How do I cope? Reward myself with creative time each day. How about you? Do you know this problem? And how do you solve it?

Play your hits. It’s been a busy week with a lot of driving time. Finding "Thunderstruck" on the radio took me back to seeing AC/DC live in '88 at the Municipal Auditorium in Nashville. And that got me thinking about concerts, hit songs, and business. At shows, familiar songs get the best reaction. People come for crowd-pleasers that trigger comfortable memories and fire up audience sing-alongs. So why are businesses & marketers always in such a rush to change their tune? They can’t wait to abandon their "greatest hits” - the products or messages that resonate most with customers. Then, they end up "thunderstruck” when customers start to drift away after changes to their favorite features. There's a lesson here: don't get bored with your own playlist and then hastily scrap what made you successful. Don’t be too cocky. It’s only because of Back in Black that I’m willing to tolerate Who Made Who. (AC/DC fans will get it). Like bands playing their classics, stay true to your core offerings. Deliver what your audience loves, and they'll keep coming back for more. Don’t get Thunderstruck. Play your greatest hits.

Sometimes, you just have to STAY IN THE POCKET. In drumming, "staying in the pocket" refers to maintaining a tight, consistent groove that locks in with the rest of the rhythm section, particularly the bass. It means playing with solid timing, tasteful dynamics, and delivering a steady pulse that enhances the overall feel of the music. Drummers who stay in the pocket prioritize rhythm over flashy fills, ensuring that their playing supports the song rather than overshadowing it. To me, staying in the pocket, means MAKING THINGS HAPPEN and KEEPING IT SIMPLE. It means delivering, with consistency. In business, staying in the pocket is sometimes undervalued. Learn the business, do what's needed for the business, consistently, in the pocket. Magic happens! Happy Monday. May you find the pocket, and may you stay in the pocket.
