Today's Topic: Forward Motion

 

• It took Paula Abdul's "Forever Your Girl" a total of 64 weeks - a year and three months - to go from entering the Billboard 200 to reaching No. 1

• Major setbacks to Home Studio Hobbyists and Freelance Audio Engineers alike include:

• Fear

• Lack of self confidence

• OCD

• Losing sight of what really matters most
