Introduction Welcome to

Founder, Derek Sivers, presents a short

not your various goals are worth holding on too. It's a
very
interesting perspective. It will help you to focus
your energy
towards the key areas of your career.
In non-music related news, for any of you that are

Restless Leg Syndrome (your legs twitch when
you try to sleep at
night), there is now a proven remedy
for it. I had it for 20 years
and no longer suffer. You
can find out more at http://www.RLcure.com

artists
or songwriters and would like to be listed in this
newsletter,
