Using Music to Inspire Ideas for Working as a Freelance Solopreneur

Making Money From Music Inspiration

Spring is slowly arriving and while Mother Earth is shrugging off the winter blues and putting on her makeup, there's plenty of nature's soundtracks going on too. I absolutely love this time of year! I can almost leave my radio off and ride with the windows down to listen to the crickets and frogs. Almost!!

Yesterday, my husband and I took the doggos on a ride along after we dropped the kids off to spend the weekend with their grandparents. 

Despite cool temperatures and heavy rain, this Momma had to ride with the window down, because the Queen Bee - Athena - seems to think her head must stay outside the window at all times. 

She even goes as far as to stand on the window button and roll the glass down herself. We have to keep a lock on the controls to keep them from jumping out after wildlife! But look at this face. Could you say no?

Musical Mutts - Inspiration for Money Making Comes from Everywhere 

While we were riding, one of the ladies made a weird noise. Nothing new. Aphrodite is a constant noise maker. She seems to make it a purpose to be as loud as possible. But it came at the right moment for my husband to make a joke that it sounded like she was trying to beatbox. Go figure even our dogs are musical junkies!

I made imitation beatbox noises. Full disclosure - I have zero experience and it sounded more like a car running outta gas. And then I made the joke of the quote - bowchickawowow. And then, it turned into a memory of a spoof song of this quote. Allow me to introduce you to a lesser known comedy, "Brown chicken, brown cow."

Today, the dogs stayed home as the hubs and I went on our weekly outta state trip to hit up the casinos. It's only a short drive across the Memphis Bridge to get into Arkansas to visit the newly remodeled Southland Casino. 

Getting Content Ideas from Life and Music

I'm always using my daily life to inspire me on ideas for businesses. And I write down notes so I don't forget. But even then, if I don't have the same headspace and environment, it can be tricky to get back into my train of thought.

And despite the need to have some downtime and relax, my brain is always ON. As Struggle Jennings and Aaron Lewis said, "The Struggle is Real." 

 

My hard work helped me get from that single-wide trailer in the holler to the house up on the hill" and yet I'm still working my fingers to the bone. 

Even worse, I seem to always be going and going, with no time to stop and take a breath. It brings to mind one of my favorite songs from when I was little. Throwing it back to 90s prime country, I'm bringing Alabama into 2023 - and I don't mean Roll Tide. 

 

Who else can relate to the lyrics:

"I'm in a hurry to get things done. I rush and rush until life's no fun. All I really gotta do is live and die. But I'm in a hurry and don't know why."

 Trying to Live Slower by Working Smarter

I go into a nervous meltdown and several mental breakdowns weekly. There always seems to be a ton of stuff to do. And yet, little to no time to get any of it done. I swear, this third rock from the sun seems to be spinning at a faster rate, making the days go quicker - it feels like my days are 13 hours instead of 24, even when I depress my body by foregoing the expected eight hours of sleep.
