Know what millionaire retirees have in common? They kept showing up over a long period of time. They invested in retirement nonstop.
It didn't matter...
...whether it was a good year.
...or a bad year.
...if times were good.
...or times were bad.
...if we were at poor.
...if we were at peace.
...if the economy was booming.
...or we were in a recession.
...if they were struggling financially.
...or if everything was great that year.
They kept showing up. And there's power in showing up.
Over the years, we've had students who plateau. For a long period of time. Most often, the reason is lack of practice. Or lack of quality practicing.
Some of them quit.
But some keep showing up. Regardless of how it's going.
And you know what? Even when the practicing isn't fantastic, they inevitably break through the plateau.
Long as they're interested, trying, and showing up to lessons every week.
So when in doubt, just show up. Don't even think about it. Just do it. And then do it again, and again, and again.
Don't worry about the time, don't worry about the money.
Besides, you can always regret it later.
But I have yet to meet anyone who ever did.
Never miss a blog post!
For parents, students, and anyone else who believes that music can and should be a meaningful part of everyone's life.

Logic tells us this: Practicing 5 minutes for six days would be the same as practicing 30 minutes for one day. It adds up to the same total minutes, so the benefits are the same.
