Six Months in the Making

Posted by admin in Bad Lucy, Business Idea Jun 5th, 2012 | No Comments

Exactly six months in, and we are starting to roll.

That’s the best one-line summary I can give of our progress on BrideRush.  And while we are still busy every waking minute of the day, some of my mental energy has finally been freed up. Now that our processes are in place (yes, like any smart business, we will always be refining), I have time to write again.

So much has happened, but it’s overwhelming to back track … so instead I’ll just go forward.

Will you move forward with me?

(Yes, that was a shameless plug of the band I also manage, Bad Lucy and the song I wrote a few lines in.  Hear Forward here!)

Multiple Projects – Dedicated Days

Posted by admin in Bad Lucy, Organization, Social Media Aug 1st, 2011 | No Comments

Dividing my time has become increasingly difficult.  How ironic would it be then if I used it all up blogging? Quite.  So, I will be short today.

I’ve come up with a time management solution dictated by social media.  Mondays are #musicmonday on Twitter.  Thus, I will work on Bad Lucy in my free hours on this day.  FYI, Monday is also #meowmonday, but that is no help. It only infuriates Timmy and Marky.

Don’t worry boys, Wednesday offers justice.  Yes, Wednesday is  #woofwednesday.  If you know the history of Bad Lucy, then you know it is only appropriate that I also dedicate this day to my band manager duties.

The remaining days will be split as follows:

  • Tuesday and Thursday for BrideRush
  • Friday, in the spirit of #followfriday, will be for research and the study of other startups, bands, etc.  It is an idea generation day.

Maybe now I’ll have more focus, fewer feelings of guilt when working on one side project over the other. Those few extra hours each day go quick. A dedicated day might just be the only way.

In line with this thinking, here are some things I am working on for the band on this Monday … just in case you want to help.

  1. Booking  fall shows – where do you want to see Bad Lucy?
  2. Introducing more newbies to their sound. Listen to Forward here. (On woofwednesday I’ll hit you dawgs with an unreleased track, exclusively here. Sorry couldn’t resist the “dawgs.”)
  3. Getting them to Number 1 on Arizona’s KWSS 106.7 morning countdown. They’ve made it up to number 2.  But if you know me, you know I don’t like second place.  Help put the boys in the top spot by requesting Bad Lucy on the program’s FB page:    http://on.fb.me/fK7EJw
  4. Working on getting them a residency slot at a LA venue.
