So I'm sitting at Big O' Donuts here in Cookeville on my new laptop about to go home and hit the hay for the night. I figured I need to start getting serious about my blog if I'm going to start getting any headway with new students. I'm really struggling hard with going to the same ol' J.O.B. (Just Over Broke) every day. I don't sleep much because I try to make the most of my time away from work by soaking up every last minute I can trying to live my life outside of work.
Also, my mind is always working non-stop (except when I'm playing my guitar) so I'm always on the move or obsessed with doing things just for the sake of doing them. I love to write because that seems to be one of the only ways I can express what I'm feeling in a tangible way that helps me release those thoughts and try to settle my mind down a bit.
Anyway, my job is slowly sapping away all my energy (that and not sleeping). All I can think about when I wake up in the morning is, "Not another eight hours of monotonous, meaningless work." All I think about while sitting there in my out-of-date-in-desperate-need-of-a-replacement chair is how bad I want to be at home teaching and signing up new students. It's my passion. I can honestly say I've found my calling and have been pursuing it heavily for over a year now. There have been more downs than ups it seems, but I'm still going and trying hard to make my dreams happen.
My "Dream Journal" notebook is finally completed and I've begun a new one. There is much to be shared, and now that I have more mobility with my laptop, I can get to work on transcribing its contents. So much to do, it seems, but again, it's my dream.
Signing off for now since my battery is nearly dead. Hope to post more often.
For now, check out my official Wanna Play? Guitar Instruction website and let me know what you think.

Welcome to my journey on becoming a full-time guitar / music teacher. I've been playing guitar for over 15 years and it's about high time I use some of that talent to make some dough! I'm determined to be diligent and succeed. With the help of music teaching books and the advice of other music teachers I meet on the web or in real life, I plan to get the show on the road and blog about my journey toward financial (and musical) independence. Let the journey begin...
