Domino Beliefs - an Introduction
If you're new here, Domino Beliefs is a weekly series. Its about 10 minutes or so where we take a slice out of the larger Hacking Music training and we unpack it within the community. These are our "mental" dominos. When they are stacked together "end to end", Act like physical dominos do. They build momentum automatically. Once our “beliefs”, some people call them: “mindset” or “mental models” or “strategic frameworks”, whatever you call them... When they're lined up, they strengthen what we DO. They strengthen how we WORK. And maybe most importantly, they define where we will go, our DESTINATION. LEARN MORE But here's the trick with dominos. You have to SET UP your dominos. They don't come out of the box assembled. They're a mess, so we have to line them up. We're lining up the way we think and that affects where we will arrive for our destination. In each session we want to audit our habits to match the destination we want, whether we know it or not, our habits are compounding either favorably or unfavorably. We want to get these right.

Domino Beliefs EP2 - LEFT-BRAIN VS RIGHT-BRAIN VS WHOLE-BRAIN
Do you want to be famous or great? — Jimmy Iovine, Cofounder of Interscope Records For many years, there has been a scientific theory that one side of the human brain is in charge of all things related to creativity, art and expression, while the other side is focused on analytical thinking, mathematics and logic. Though still being explored, this theory seems to reinforce the trend we see with aspiring musicians; many of them spend a tremendous amount of time working on their music but can’t seem to wrap their heads around the business side of their careers. Conversely, we see business-minded individuals struggling to understand the creative process and how it works, often confusing laziness with the output cycles of the creative mind. Let’s be clear from the start. Your music may be of the highest quality, but your listenership won’t grow without the creation and development of your music business. The art can exist without the business ... but it will not flourish, at least in terms of exposure, without the business. RIGHT-BRAIN THINKING is reflected in the tasks that are creative in spirit such as songwriting and composing. The term describes how the functions located in the right side of the brain are dominant in the areas of creativity, imagination, and visualization. When you do something creative, you are using the right side of your brain. LEFT-BRAIN THINKING is called upon when tackling projects that require logic and analysis. We call it Left-Brain Thinking because the left side of the brain governs things like mathematics, language, and linear thinking. When an artist analyzes information or attempts to make logical decisions, they are using the left side of their brain. WHOLE-BRAIN THINKING is when an individual is able to effectively juggle both the analytics and logic found in the left side of the brain with the creative and artistic aspects housed in the right. The end result is an ability to balance the creation of art with good business decision-making.

    Good morning everybody Hey welcome to Domino Beliefs Uh If you're new here Domino Beliefs are is a quick Monday

    series We do 10 minutes ish Uh where we take a slice out of the larger

    hacking music training and we unpack it within the group here So these mental dominoes when

    they're stacked together end to end act like physical dominoes do right If you've seen videos of how they work

    with dominoes there are no accidents They always work they always fall into the next

    domino they work every time So that's how we want to kind of think of our domino beliefs These are

    their mental dominoes They build momentum automatically once our beliefs some people call it mindset or mental models or

    strategic frameworks whatever you call them But when they're lined up they strengthen what we do

    they strengthen how we work and maybe most importantly they strengthen and define where we will

    go or destination But here's the trick with Domino's Uh you have to set up your

    dominoes They don't come out of the box that way they're a mess right So we have to

    line them up So that's what we're doing Every Monday we're lining up the way we think and that

    affects where we will arrive our destination So each Monday what we wanna do here

    we wanna audit our habits to match the destination we want whether we know it or not our habits

    are compounding either favorably or unfavorably So we want to get those right We want to pay attention

    to our beliefs our dominoes our worldview as an artist and entrepreneur So that's quick a little bit about

    domino beliefs Let's jump into the training All right So let's jump in give a couple of examples

    here of red and blue oceans on the left You can see the red ocean

    right You see the the blue ocean and what we wanna do is back up

    one step and understand how this affects artists So up here we have dominating artists right They're

    kind of at the top of their game thoroughbred artists They've made it through the

    weeds and now they're enjoying success and competing nationally and internationally Right Then we have down here we

    have deploying artists These are the three gears that all artists go through Deploying artists are doing it

    regionally Maybe they're doing it in the Southeast or maybe they're touring Texas and Oklahoma to figure some

    things out right They're not just focused on their music they're they're kind of building out

    their their scaffolding of their career Uh And then we have down here the bottom we

    have developing artists these artists are primarily focused on their music they're getting their stuff together figuring

    out who they are and who they're not they they're figuring out their writing their

    production their show right Um They're not 100% developed but they're you know they they

    realize that they want to win and they want to kind of compete at higher levels up here OK

    So what we want to take away from this is how these artists think right These artists think

    very differently how they think about team how they think about planning and production and projects how they

    think about music and their staging of their show their experiences how they think about products e-commerce and sells

    right So what these artists have figured out up here is that how to get

    to a blue ocean right Artists down here are very much in a red ocean And what we

    wanna do is figure out how to get more of us out of here into up here shorten

    the gap for developing artists to become healthier artists and entrepreneurs All right So let's jump in to the blue

    Ocean Um Domino belief here So that's the domino belief for this week red and

    Blue Oceans filtering our decision making between the red lens and the blue lens So if you're
