Craig Garber - The origins of "HAPPINESS is a CHOICE" & the DANGER of EXPECTATIONS Nov 21, 2019

Show notes

Today, the tables are turned and I was interviewed as a guest on "Making it With Terry Wollman." I talk about what prompted me to start Everyone Loves Guitar, the origins of "Happiness is a choice" (and who I really say it for), why "It takes a lifetime to do something and how it also takes a minute to do something"... the top traits successful guitarists have in common, when a 50% success rate is OK, the danger of having expectations, basic marketing information for musicians and artists, NOT working on your weaknesses, when to have expectations - and… when not to. Preparation I do for my show guests, going with your gut, when to be wary of stress, and other unusual and interesting stuff. The show's been a ton of fun, you'll find some of this pretty compelling:
