Weekly Tip #30: Make Em Count
Hey I ain’t no Tackleberry.
But I’ve done my time in the army.
And you know what – ideas are like bullets in many ways.
It’s best to keep em clean.
They’re no good to you unless you can aim them.
And you only have a limited number at your disposal.
Look, I know this don’t apply to some of ya. But here in Finland we don’t shoot to waste bullets.
We AIM.
In the same way you also have to aim every idea you put in a tune.
You don’t just spray em around.
There has to be a purpose for everything you put in.
The purpose of an element can be to act as the center of attention.
Or it could be for it to stay in the background and support what else is going on.
But there has got to be a purpose.
Keep asking yourself: What’s the designated target of this bullet?
If something doesn’t contribute enough, if it doesn’t sound right or you’re not sure if it makes a difference…
Then you know it’s a dud, friend.
Get rid of it or fix it up until it does what it’s supposed to.
Master this craft and you’ll be shooting em up like Geronimo.
I’ll say it again: You only have so many bullets to use per tune.
Make em count.
If you’d like some help on how to do the right things…
Have a look at my personal couching service.
It’s not cheap for sure.
And it ain’t for the lazy.
But it will help you to focus on what’s essential for YOU and stop wasting your precious time.
