The Successful Songwriter Within Podcast

Do you wish you had more time in the morning to do the things you've always wanted to?!!!!

Plus, hear what other artist's do to start their morning off on the right foot... hit play, it's time to be inspired!!

In today’s episode we are talking “cliché’s” – why we use them, and what they do to help (or hinder) your songs. 

You'll get some great tips on HOW to use them in order to come up with UNIQUE PHRASES in your songs that people can still connect with and relate to.

That way, you can still say what you want to say, but STAND out from the crowd with your music.

Are you trying to climb the entire mountain in one day instead of taking the first step?

Whether you want to reach a goal of writing a certain number of songs or you want to get in a better-feeling place in the morning, I show you how making this small change can make a big impact on your results.

What’s it like to go from busking on the street to having your song used in an International Starbucks campaign?

My guest today can tell you all about it! John Clinebell – Producer, Songwriter and Music Director for “Catch the Moon Music” (a music licensing education company founded by Cathy Heller) - opens up about his journey from barely being able to play guitar, to how he’s been able to have his songs placed in hundreds of films, television shows and advertisements.

You will love hearing about John’s “non-routine”- routine, how spirituality has taken his music and life to the next level and what Eckhart Tolle did for him during his early days in LA.

He tells us how educating himself, following his heart and never giving up helped him turn a corner in the music industry AND he gives some GREAT TIPS on how to take YOUR songwriting to the next level. Stay tuned until the very end to hear his biggest takeaway of all.

Do you ever feel like no matter what you do, it's just not enough?

Have you been as busy as I have been?

This week things are going to go a little different. Usually I like to share some inspiration or some helpful tips, but this time around, I’m going to fill you in on what I’ve been up to and this episode will be extra short and sweet.

Everything in life has a season and that is A-OK. Can’t wait to chat with you again next week with more tips and stories.

Are you better at starting songs than finishing them?

Plus, the more songs you finish, the better you'll get at your craft. ;)

As always, stick around to the end to hear some music - and don't forget to leave a review on Apple Podcasts so you can be entered to win a free one-on-one coaching call with me!

Do you know what it feels like to write over 800 songs?

Bill has written over 800 songs in the last 6 years and is passionate about music and helping others.

In this episode we talk about how to allow passion to overcome your fears so that you can do all that you’ve dreamed, how to stay inspired and follow-through with completing projects, how to overcome rejection, and how it’s important to trust yourself and find what works for you when it comes to writing songs.

You don’t want to miss this episode filled with so many great nuggets of wisdom!

What are good vibrations, anyway?! Besides the classic Beach Boys' song, good vibrations are actually a powerful force that can change the way your life is lived. In this episode, I share with you how I used "good vibrations" to achieve my first publishing deal, how I use them to write songs and how you can start "vibing high" today!

How many times have you been guilty of starting a project and not finishing it? 

I’m in the same boat, my friend. I’ve learned (errrr.. am learning…) that being selective and focusing on finishing what I start actually helps me win in the end. 

In today’s episode I share with you how “throwing your seeds into the wind” and trying to accomplish too many things can sometimes leave you with a feeling of accomplishing NOTHING. 

Instead, I share 3 tips on how I re-direct my focus so that I can finish that SONG/PROJECT, and share it with others. 

Because after all, isn’t that what the joy of music is all about?
