Keeping up with a blog has proved to be more difficult then I was expecting. It’s been a little while since my last post and I don’t really have a good excuse. Things have been a little busy, but no more busy then normal. Without any further ado…….
There have been a few updates to report over the last couple of months. Vegin’ Out brought another full time employee on board to handle customer relations, freeing me up to focus more on marketing, planning, and of course music. We recently announced that Vegin’ Out is now offering catering. that’s right we’ll put together a delicious vegan spread for any event that you have. If you need entertainment we can even book that!
The month of June was exceptionally good for us, because of a great piece of press we got in The Desert Sun which is a Palm Springs publication. I’ve learned over that last few months that PR can give you an amazing response, but you can never tell what article is going to work and what one is not. Just like print advertising. I do highly recommend investing in a PR campaign to any small business. Not only can it increase your business, but it also helps you build credibility in your industry as an expert. This is the long term effect of good PR. An investment in your future so to speak.
Things on the musical front are going well. About a month ago I left a band that I have been playing with for more about 5 years. It was a tough decision to make, but one that I feel good about. Being in a band is just like any other relationship. It grows and matures over time. Sometimes you grow closer to people and sometimes you grow apart. After 5 years I felt that we were growing apart, and that if I wanted to continue my growth as a person and as an artist that it was time to move on to other things. I think that it is important in life to know when to call it quits. Many times in life we look at a situation and decide whether the energy and time we are putting into something is worth the potential return. This is probably something that we do unconsciously until we start to feel like it might be time to get out. Don’t underestimate this feeling. The key to a lot of things in life is knowing when to get out, before it is too late.
Well that’s it for now. I hope to post more regularly in the future.
