Even the Good Kids Need Some Guidance

Hello there, my friends! I?trust each of you are working hard AND having fun along the way! I know I sure am. This past weekend for me was a jam packed one, full of rock concerts & musicals! We kicked it off by taking in opening night of?"Jersey Boys," and WOW, what an experience! The story of Frankie Valli and The Four Seasons is not just entertaining but also packed with some really cool lessons.

Here are?a few takeaways I had while watching the show.?

The Power of Perseverance

"Jersey Boys" is all about perseverance. Frankie Valli and The Four Seasons had to overcome a ton of setbacks, from rough beginnings to struggling to make it big in the music industry. Their story shows us the importance of sticking to our goals, even when things get tough. Their persistence eventually led to those iconic hits we all know and love.

The Importance of Teamwork

These fellas weren’t just a group of talented guys — they were a team. Each member brought something unique, and together, they created magic. The show really highlights how their teamwork and camaraderie were key to their success. It’s a great reminder of how working together can lead to amazing results. (Side note...am I the only one who didn't know that Joe Pesci was instrumental in their success?).

Embracing Change

Throughout their career, The Four Seasons had to deal with a lot of changes, from band members leaving to shifts in musical trends. Instead of fighting it, they rolled with the punches and adapted. This flexibility kept them relevant and successful. It’s a good lesson for us all — embracing change can lead to new opportunities and growth.

The Value of Authenticity

What set Frankie Valli and The Four Seasons apart was their authenticity. Frankie’s insanely unique voice and their genuine style resonated with people. Staying true to themselves was a big part of their success. Being authentic in what we do -- each and every day -- can help us connect more deeply with others and stand out in our own way.

Overcoming Adversity

The fellas faced plenty of personal and professional challenges, from financial issues to personal conflicts. Frankie Valli, in particular, dealt with some really heavy stuff, like divorce and the heartbreaking loss of his daughter. Yet, he kept going, showing incredible resilience. Their story is a powerful reminder that overcoming adversity can make our successes even more meaningful.

Jersey Boys?was more than just a fun night out & the start to an epic weekend — it was packed with valuable lessons. From sticking to our goals and valuing teamwork to embracing change, staying authentic, and overcoming adversity, there’s a lot we can learn from Frankie and?the boys!
