If you have things figured out then keep scrolling. These words aren't for you. But if you're an artist looking for a plan of action... I feel you. It's hard sometimes. Like, I'm sure you've had these thoughts many times: "THIS is my time!" "I'm gonna get it together." "I'm gonna go for it..." "I'm gonna stick with it..." But somehow you fall into the same old patterns. You know why? Because you're a slave to many masters. You take your orders from the different voices in your head instead of just one. There's a voice that wants you to be creative. There's the voice that wants you to be lazy. There's the voice that makes you feel guilty for not calling your family more. Have you ever lived a week or even a day where there is only ONE voice barking orders? Where you were so focused it felt like Bootcamp? How do you get back to that place? First of all, you need to LEARN your patterns. By tracking your behavior every day. But you won't do that because it's not sexy. Because "It's not fun." But if you don't know your trends you'll never be able to forecast them. And you'll stay where you are. But if you become one of the 5% that actually tracks their behavior and knows their trends... you can change anything that's holding you back-- and get ridiculous results.

People see this T-shirt and they think I'm making a statement about social media. Bro… I’m talking about your LIFE! Make art out of your LIFE. Don’t let it pass you by. Even as I write this I’m scared that the time I'm taking to type is time that I’m missing out on my full potential. But I have to do it... For you. Just in case you're on the fence today and you needed a push… Sneak in that inspiration. Like others do for me. If a few timely words means a better future for us together... Then it's worth it. I left nothing on the table today. How about you? 💙 shop.lastnightsparty.tv @ Toronto, Ontario

When I was growing up my dad would always ask me why I was wearing stuff with logos all the time. "Why are you giving free advertising to a big company?" he'd say. A few years later, I found that it had stuck with me. I became anti-logo. If I wear something with words or a design it has to have meaning. Either I’m supporting a friend, or it’s a symbol of my values etc.

That’s why when I decided to make my first T-shirt I knew I didn’t want to make something for the masses but something where I could identify the people that believe in what I believe. Creativity. Art. Originality. I had to make a T-shirt that I would actually wear myself. I had to believe in the message that badly. That’s where "make art not content" evolved from.

I’m at war with the apathy of the internet... and I'm guessing it's gonna be a long ride... so if you're with me, let me know 🖤

I know this is the time of year when everybody wants to make promises to themselves. I mean... it's resolution time, right? It's almost 2019.

But if you REALLY want to do it this time...

If you have a goal, a cause or a passion burning inside of you and you REALLY want to win...

Can I share TWO things with you that will help you stay the course? Two things that will keep you going when so many others have dropped out?

1. Let yourself fall out of love.

When people talk about having a fear of commitment they usually mean "relationships". But the most heartbreaking fear of commitment is the one towards yourself. Or to your dreams.

It comes disguised as a voice in your head.

"I'm not into it anymore."

"I don't feel the passion."

Don't get fooled by it. The spark you had was never meant to last forever. It was only just the honeymoon.

It takes commitment and discipline to keep things going. You will have to sacrifice things. Only amateurs jump from spark to spark.

Boring, I know.

But I've studied it from all walks of life. Artistic, business, whatever... And I've had a front-row seat to the most successful people you know... and witnessed their darkest moments. Dark moments I was surprised to learn were just as dark as my own.

The common denominator that gets everyone through?

Commitment and discipline.

That rarified air.

Maybe you can fool your buddies in the pub with your pretty words and rationalizations, but you can't fool "the teacher" about the sweat you never sweat or the burn you never felt.

You need commitment and discipline even if there's a chance you may eventually fail. 'Cause only that relentless effort can give you the kind of "failures that lead to success".

Most people will never know that joy. Of getting the spark... going hard... hating it all... wanting to quit... persevering anyways... missing one or two Coachellas... and coming out the other side... realizing that you love it all over again but in this new way... a way you never knew... and gaining new strength... people noticing... you not caring...

When you've gone full circle you belong to a club that only those who've done it can understand.

But wait! You're HERE now... and you're staring at that "next step".

Everyone else... they're gone. They listened to that "middle america" voice in their head.

The voice that said "I'm not feeling it anymore." The voice that told them not to miss the Travis Scott concert. The voice that told them to start next week. The voice that told them to only work when they're "inspired".

Don't fall for it.

It's okay to fall out of love... but remember... quietly persevere.

THAT is the "hard work" that they're talking about when people accept their Grammys or their Academy Awards. THAT is the "hard work" that they're talking about in the foreword of their new book. THAT is the "hard work" that they're talking about when they're doing a million interviews and traveling the globe.

If you want to achieve your resolutions this year... If you want to sustain the epiphany... Let yourself fall out of love. But still... quietly persevere. I promise. It will come rushing back again. And you will know a new language that only a few understand.

2. Track everything.

It's easy to say "commitment and discipline", right?

But how will you know if you're acheiving it?

Well... You write it down.

Use graph paper, an excel spreadsheet, or a cute little Bettie Page notebook... it doesn't matter.

Just write it all down.

Every day.

Write down what time you woke up. What time you went to bed. How many hours you worked. What you ate. If you meditated. Did you work out? What did you sacrifice? How did you feel?

After a few days, you'll start to see trends.

You'll start to want to beat your prior best!

Your memory doesn't always remember what you ate two days ago but the data always will.

Your memory won't remember that every Wednesday you feel depressed around 2 pm. But the data always will.

When you see it all written down... it will start to change your behavior.

You will have to face yourself.

And only when you face yourself do you come up to the choice that leads to ALL achievement (yes, even Post Malone's)... Do I have the commitment and discipline?

The way you answer that question... will carry into every other aspect of your life until the day you die.

This is the thing that you said you loved, remember?

This is the goal that you said you wanted to achieve!

You'll look at Day One. Then Day Two... Then Day 23... And you'll be like "F**k this, I'm not stopping now!"

Just writing it down will make you rise up to the challenge.

And maybe you won't be "in love". But you will quietly persevere.

Your childish feelings... they will try to mess with you.

But the data never will.

Anxiety is prevalent amongst so many of us and it’s not always the easiest to tackle especially when in public or at work. .
I use three foundational methods to deal with my own spells. We each experience different intensities of anxiety so it’s so important to figure out what works best for you.
1) CHECK IN WITH YOUR BIOLOGY💚: ask yourself questions - did you drink enough water? Are you getting enough sleep? Eating enough? Or eating healthily enough? Too much caffeine or partying? Sometimes the simplest things can affect us; and they are also the easiest to change.
2)CONTROL WHAT YOU CAN CONTROL🌊: worrying about external factors that aren’t within our control, including other people’s opinions, the weather, basically anything that requires us to be more than human to deal with 😂forget that s**t, you can’t do anything about it, focus on factors that you have the power to change, like your reactions to people for example.
3)TAKE ACTIVE REST🧘‍♀️🧘‍♂️: active rest meaning relaxing your mind whilst DOING SOMETHING. Meaning keeping and maintaining the INTENTION of relieving your mind of anxiety. Meditating, yoga, running, cooking, breathing... whatever floats your boat so long as your actively working towards settling your state of mind 🖤

You have two choices if you want to start using digital marketing.

The first one is to go through the checklist your marketing agency gave you: you know... get a page, an Instagram page, take out some ads, get some followers and then hire that same agency to continuously feed it content. (How convenient right??)

Or... you can do what a small group of artists are doing and use techniques that are about to revolutionize the world.

“Message-driven” psychographic marketing.

Let's call it ‘new wave' for short.

In this free 7-part email course (LESSXNS), we'll show you proof that the marketplace has shifted and the exact reasons why you can't afford to use the old, outdated ways anymore.

https://mutualinspirationsociety.com/business

We? Who are "we"?

The Mutual Inspiration Society is a group of artist-entrepreneurs. We're the ones that have been hired by marketing agencies for the last 10 years to create "content" for you. We've seen all the money wasted on your behalf... We know that you could have done something cooler and cheaper without the middle-man.

Well, the climate is finally ripe for us to expose what all these sales-focused marketing agencies have been hiding from you.

In these 7 emails, we'll show you how to use the SAME digital tools that you already know... but in brand new ways that SERVE your business and your CUSTOMERS... instead of being a slave to fancy algorithms.

That's right. Business has become less transactional and more transformational.

We can finally get back to the basics: a great product, a great message and an obsession with the customer experience. The holy trinity of good business.

No more tactics, no more tricks, no more hacks... and playing to diminishing returns.

The marketplace has shifted.

If you wanna learn where things are going in 2019 subscribe to LESSXNS (before the marketing "gurus" ruin it for everyone again).
