Have you ever considered that most performers are also entrepreneurs? Kind of awesome. We spoke about that on this episode of the podcast, which was focused on the Jonas Brothers documentary. You should watch that if you haven’t yet!
Hidden in his songs, which I’ve listened to at length on many a car trip, I discovered a couple of small business inspirations. Not sure if that’s what he was after but, here we are. You know I pick up handmade business ideas in all sorts of pop cultural places like attracting ideal customers from Stars Hollow and marketing lessons on tour with Taylor Swift.
It can’t just be about material things, even if they are really nice material things.
Turning Billy Joel’s Music into Handmade Business Ideas and Inspiration
From “Movin’ Out”

You are going to have to get flexible.
From “A Matter of Trust”

In business, we often have to get uncomfortable (or experience different types of discomfort), and we have to be willing to try new things daily. Be ready to try new things even if they don’t immediately appeal to you, be ready to change your plans to suit your vision, challenge yourself to step outside of your comfort zone. Trust yourself to be the CEO! You have things to do, and you can’t afford to let resistance slow you down.
Hear more about overcoming obstacles on this episode of The Merriweather Council podcast. And this one about being the CEO! I think Billy will agree with me that the person you need to trust the most is yourself.
Just do the damn thing.
From “Don’t Ask Me Why”

I hope you have found inspiration and reminders here like I did! Here’s my favorite Billy Joel song to send you off.
