Self Employed Competing With Corporate: Why You Should Team Up

Tracy Ready — Thu, 02 Jun 2011 20:00:50 +0000

On the bright side, prior to this "revolution", advertising your business even through local radio, TV or print campaigns was an expensive proposition. Now, you have the ability to spread your word for free across the Internet. It's working for big business, and it can work for small ones, but going it alone makes it tough. In this video, I try to put it in perspective. My suggestion? Build your own team and help each other. It costs nothing but time, and if you are not working enough (which is the case for many freelancers these days), time is something you have to work with. Check out this short video for an example of my suggestion>>

Music Fix: Late, Great Clarence “Gatemouth” Brown

Tracy Ready — Wed, 05 Jan 2011 15:15:26 +0000
Clarence "Gatemouth" Brown was born April 18, 1924 in Vinton, Louisiana and died September 10, 2005 in Orange, Texas. While known primarily as a "bluesman", he hated such titles. He was a master musician who defied being pigeonholed in any genre. His live shows ranged the gamut of American music. Jazz, rock, blues, cajun and bluegrass came soaring out of this man, who grinned through it all.

Music Fix: Larry Carlton “Night Sweats”

Tracy Ready — Mon, 01 Nov 2010 12:39:38 +0000
Larry Carlton, guitarist deluxe ~ He's a "musician's musician", able to play with fluidity and grace in a wide variety of styles and formats. I'm particularly partial to his more electric jazz, rock and blues fusion bands but he's also made his name in "smooth jazz" as an acoustic player. My favorites are ones like this.. NIGHT SWEATS.
