The Hidden Habits Shared by Successful Media Composers On Today’s TAXI TV!

Dear ,
During my 33 years as the CEO of TAXI, the Holy Grail I’ve been relentlessly searching for has been that “thing” that makes some composers, producers, songwriters, and artists successful, while others never achieve their goals. What is the “secret sauce?” Why some and not others?
I recently ran into long-time TAXI member, Chuck Schlacter, in the hotel lobby during our annual conference—the TAXI Road Rally. We started to discuss the mindset and habits of people who are successful in the music licensing world versus those who aren’t.
What he had to say made perfect sense, so I’ve invited him to join me on TAXI TV. I hope you can watch this while it's live, today at 4 pm, Pacific time.
In Chuck’s words: “In many endeavors that present regular challenges, there is the risk that one quits before they acquire the necessary skills to achieve success. Some methods and approaches can help one continue in the face of adversity and break through to success.
Even at a high level of success, there are challenges and disappointments. Developing a success mindset will keep you going and continue to break through to continued growth and ongoing success.”
I couldn’t agree more! While I still haven’t unearthed the “actual” Holy Grail that leads to guaranteed success, I have seen more than a few work and life habits that TAXI’s most successful members have in common.
Chuck has noticed them as well, and he’s going to share those proven approaches to help you stay the course and enjoy the journey.
I’d love to have you join us on today’s show — I think you’ll get a lot from it. I predict that every one of us listening will have some great tools and habits we can start using as soon as the episode ends!
