Tip of the Day: ConcentrationAn essential ability for success is to bend your concentration towards the things that matter the most.
Punch your mental distractions in the face and start concentrating on what matters.
If it's a loved one that is distracting you, don't punch them... just ask them to give you time to concentrate

Sending positive vibes to you all!

Tip of the day: Spend time wiselyA lot of times the most important things in life take about the same time as the unimportant things. What is something important that you can do more of? What's something that you can do less of?
Sending positive vibes to you all!

Tip of the Day: the StruggleLearn to enjoy the struggle. Our most memorable goals we achieve in our lives are always extra special because of the many hardships we had to endure before succeeding. Those memories will be some of your fondest when you're successful. So take sometime to live in the moment and enjoy the struggle before achieving bigger and better things.
Sending positive vibes to you all!

Tip of the Day: DreamsWe all know people that are very grounded. They have a very realistic view of what is possible... and they are generally right.

Tip of the Day: CuriosityKeep learning. Stay curious. Always give it your all and great things will happen. Make it part of your lifestyle to constantly keep learning, studying, practicing. The world is changing faster then ever. It's important to change with it if you don't want to be left behind. Be a 'student' of life and stay curious.

Tip of the Day: Playing the Game of LifeI used to spend all my free time on games. Arcade games, card games, home entertainment systems... etc. Until I found the best game of all - LIFE. Not the board game but the real thing.
You only get one life and there are many levels that you can pass. Try to think of life as a game. Always trying to get to that "next level." Identify what you could achieve to get to the "next level" in your life and put your energy into it!
sending positive vibes to you all!
Bobby

Tip of the Day: Sharing KnowledgeDon't be afraid to share your knowledge. You'll learn even more through teaching what you know.
Not just that but I feel that people who share, end up gravitating towards others that like to share.
Sending positive vibes to you all!

Tip of the Day: Embrace your love of art.As artists, we do what we do because art runs through our veins & we would be making art even if it wasn't for a living.
Embrace your love of art.
Sending positive vibes to you all!

Tip of the Day: ConversationToday try to make conversation with at least one person that you don't know. No matter how short the conversation might be.
More opportunities come if you make a habit of striking up conversations with people you don't know.
You wouldn't believe some of the people I've been able to get to know just because I decided to talk to them.
Sending positive vibes to you all!
Bobby

Tip of the Day: Getting your foot in the door*Take note that this advice is meant for people that are completely unknown beginners that have no options and are looking to learn***
Comic legend Lynn Johnston (creator of "For Better or For Worse" gave me today's tip of the day. She wrote to me with some advice after listening to my audiobook "The Perfect Bait"
"I wondered if there should be a portion dedicated to people- students etc who are completely unknown, who just want to get a foot in the door.
Working for free is the answer. You might balk at this because some critics say this gives the appearance that there is NO value to skill and talent. However- consider this: Working for free gives you amazing experience. It allows you to practice on someone else's project, see your work in print, establish a reputation and learn- big time. People who won't work for free WILL pay for a course! What better learning experience is there than to work with a client- such as a library or an independent book store or a school- producing poste

I especially liked the comparison of an artist with an athlete. Not only that you have to train certain muscles or muscle groups on there own, but also that you sometimes have to take a step back and actually have a look if that what you are doing is making sense. But maybe an additionally point is, that you have to stay in training to become good in sports or in making art. It is not enough to train once a week and then expect to be one of the fastest runners in a competition.
Your videos are encouraging to stay in training and that it is worth it in the long run

. Go on making these videos. I think you are giving courage to a lot of people out there
