DREAM BIG

In my journey I have met, communicated with, encountered many people of many walks of life. I have been to Europe a few times, Asia several times, The Caribbean (obviously) and various cities and towns in North America and all the other places that don't fall in these geographic locations I have access to their residents via the web.


So with that said, I have had and still have to opportunity to communicate with the world. But here's the kicker:


SO DO YOU



I am writing this blog for the aspiring artist, the aspiring DJ, the aspiring writer, I am writing this blog for you as long as you are a DREAMER

As kids we all had big dreams, and for most of us, as we grew older our dreams got smaller and for some of us our dreams went away.

Common excuses are:

"LIFE GOT IN THE WAY" or "WE HAD TO GROW UP"

Someone told me this (I'm not sure who) but I am going to tell it to you

"NOT ALL DREAMS COME TRUE, BUT DREAMS NEVER DREAMT NEVER COME TRUE"


Every success story began with a dream, Every Skyscraper you see, every successful person, every amazing invention you see


SO WHAT IS YOUR DREAM?

Many people claim they want success but don't have a clue about what it is they want to be successful at. You have to know where you are going in order to make the necessary preparations for the trip so take the time to figure out what you really want.

You have to want it so bad that you get excited about it. THE THOUGHT OF SUCCESS SHOULD EXCITE YOU, this is very important because it is this excitement and desire that will help you in the times when you feel like quitting. (and there will be times)

If you are an artist, a DJ, a writer or most fields progress involves exposing more people to your work, i.e. the more people that know about and appreciate your work the better.

I am a dancehall artist/dj/entertainer/creative writer etc etc and I have a email list of over 10,000 people (if you are reading this on blogspot and you are not on my email list go to http://www.reverbnation.com/fudgiespringer and sign up)



I am not trying to imply that I'm a success in dancehall but I do have fans (no matter how small a number) all over the world, and my music is being played in various countries around the world.



I started this less than 5 years ago in Pittsburgh PA being basically an unknown who didn't even know how to mix two songs.



I am no where near my goals by a stretch of the imagination but I do know the importance of continuously reaching out to new people.



When I was marketing my first song "pussy good" I had the mentality that no one is going to help me so if I have to give this song to everyone in the world personally I was going to do it.



so I started reaching out to as much people that I could on all the available social networks, I had cd giveaways everywhere I went, I voiced dubplates for DJs with influence and or DJs with potential.



This wasn't a problem because I did and still do, just as you do now, have access to everybody in the world, right from home at my desk.



Get It?

If you are an aspiring musician like me, get your music in front of new people every day, if you are an aspiring writer get your work in front of new people everyday, if you are a plumber .... get your business card (your business) in front of new people everyday.


The more people you expose the better your results are

Set a benchmark to keep track of your progress (eg. if you benchmark is 3 people a day, a 5 person day is a great day)

Way more people will reject you than accept you (look at me I'm your resident dancehall reject lol)

But that doesn't matter as long as you do what it takes to get to those who will

I have so much to say, pursuing success is one of my favourite topics

But I am not writing a novel

DREAM BIG!!!!

HAVE A BURNING DESIRE TO ACHIEVE YOUR DREAMS!!!!

PUT IN THE REQUIRED WORK!!!!!

DON'T QUIT!!!!

BE EXCITED!!!!

oh and don't forget to ....

DREAM BIG!!!!

Lets switch pon dem

CHANGES.... SWITCHING ... GOOD BAD INDIFFERENT?


"The Definition of insanity is doing the same thing over and over and expecting the results to vary"

This is an overly used cliche that we may have all heard before but we all at times seem to disregard its simple logic.

We have been taught that "don't change" , "doh switch", "stay real" as if all this is synonymous, people would have you think that change is bad and or frowned upon.


Change is the few inevitable things in life , especially since growth is change, progress is change, "learning from your mistakes" is change.

Do you honestly want to be in the same situation you are in now, five years from now?

If your situation now is the same as it was 5 years ago, how happy would that make you?

So change to me looks like something that we should all aspire to achieve.

Sometimes change is something that you have to consciously pursue, sometimes change requires effort

if you are unsuccessful now and you aspire to "change" or be successful its going to take some effort but it starts with the conscious decision to change or to be a success


this is a poem I wrote (when I wrote poetry)


Success or Failiure?


Which one do we choose?


Do we choose to be happy?


Or we like singing the blues?



Winner or loser?


Which word best describes?


Do we like our situations?


Or are we wasting our lives?



Change or continue?


Which word makes more sense?


Will the present be the future?


Or will it tomorrow be past tense?



These questions & answers are decided each day


But look at our situations,
are we as smart as we say?



Before we get offended,
we should hear our inner voice


The message is very clear


"SUCCESS IS A CHOICE !"



Let me say that in my opinion having alot of money and business success and your personal and family life is a mess is not TRUE SUCCESS

A successful person has that balance of career success and personal and family success.


This weekend for me has been an eye opener or should I say a reminder to open my eyes.

Why do we often have 20 20 vision and can't see

Why do we often have perfect hearing but can't hear and or listen

Why are we so smart and don't think

why do we love so hard and act like we don't care



The new year is approaching fast and I'm not making any resolutions I am aspiring to change

• I want fans who don't like derogatory music, I want to drive with my mom and listen some Springer (so I'll have to be more rounded)


• I don't want to have one of the highest unfollower rates on twitter (so I need to be more weary of peoples feelings)


• I want to be a positive influence on my friends, fans and acquaintances (I need more blogs like this one)


• I want to write more, sing more, perform more, promote more, record more (so I need to quit acting like I already made it)

But most of all I want to make sure home is OK, I've been neglecting home ever since I lived there

Sometimes I feel like I don't live there lol

but home is where the heart is, and its a shame the things that often have to happen for us,(me) to realize and embrace this

My friends join me and aspire to change, Aspire to be more than you are now, decide to succeed in all facets of your life

I know all the reggae songs say we shouldn't switch or change


BUT FUCK IT !!! I'M SAYING WE NEED TO!!! WITH MI OR NOT 2011 I'M SWITCHING!!!!!
