Join the journey with me… Jen’s 2015 Musical Vision Quest RocketHub Campaign!

Thirty days remain! We are at 8% of our $30,000 goal which will allow me to get started on recording this new album and set up a tour afterwards, spreading goodness to as many hearts and souls as humanly possible.

You know, day in and day out, for the past three weeks, I have stayed 100% focused on this vision quest since it’s official launch on June 9th. And, as I’ve shared, over the past 5 months I’d been working on getting this vision up and into the public eye to give this vision an opportunity to come into fruition.

I know that in life you get out what you put in. There is, however, no way to predict what that will look like after that point. I know that when this campaign comes to an end on Sunday, July 27th, the end results, whatever they may be, will not define me. What will define me are the actions I will have taken, as well as those I’ll continue to take after the its completion. Those actions, leading me further away from my comfort zone and much closer to the alsolute unknown, those actions will define me! It’s all about the process, not about the results. That’s the important factor here.

Why do I bring this up now, on day 19? Well, as I lean further into the unknown and away from my comfort zone, the FEARS, the DOUBTS and the SELF SABOTAGE are tugging at my heart and soul. Yes they are! And I’m not willing to let this stop me from taking more actions.

As Steven Pressfield says in his book, “Turning Pro”, “Turning pro is free, but it demands sacrifice. The passage from amateur to professional is often achieved via an interior odyssey whose trials are survived only at great cost, emotionally, psychologically and spiritually. We pass through a membrane when we turn pro. It’s messy and it’s scary. We tread in blood when we turn pro.”

I have no clue how this $30,000 goal is gonna be reached. Honestly, I am just doing my work daily, putting out the best me possible. I’m allowing those of you who already know me, as well as those of you who have just recently become aquainted with me, to get a better understanding of this journey I’ve been on, showing you the possibilities of where else I can go, with the help of the community as a whole! I am giving you a glimpse into who I am as the person behind the artist. That’s really scary. I won’t lie.

And I am fully aware of the process here. As I have unleashed this most challenging, exciting and undetermined musical vision quest, in attempts to see how far I can go, there are gonna be internal ups and the downs. I’m learning what’s working and what’s not. And that will only help me along the next creative journey, as long as I continue the journey of turning pro.

And as Steven says, “Turning pro is free, but it’s not easy. When we turn pro, we give up a life that we may have become extremely comfortable with. We give up a self that we have come to identify with and to call our own.”

And as week three is coming to an end, I am feeling so much of what Steven talks of around feeling the fear and doing it anyway. The botton line is this, “What we get when we turn pro is we find our power. We find our will and our voice and we find our self-respect. We become who we always were but had, until then, been afraid to embrace and live out.”

So today, on Day 19, I would say, I’ve gone from amateur to pro. There ya have it. See ya tomorrow!
