Welcome to musicians Tip Jar where we talk about musicians and money. We are here to create action not distraction, we push you to focus on the outcome by helping stir clear of the obstacles. I’m your host Chris Webb, joined by my co-host and the guy always blowing up my phone while I’m driving, Dave Tamkin.

Quote:
“Focus does not mean saying yes it means saying no.” -Steve jobs

“Life isn’t about finding yourself, Life is about creating yourself” - George Bernard Shaw

Keeping your focus is an easy thing to say and can be the hardest thing to do. For whatever the reason, this is especially true for many musicians. Like when you walk into a target just to grab Kleenex and leave with 20 items. And not even useful things like cleaners, but a random sign that says “home” burned in old looking wood from their magnolia home collection. I like that show do you like that show? Fixer upper with chip and Joanna Gaines? I’m excited for the new season, they started their own channel now. I need to check in with my cable company to see if I even can get it. I want all my channels al e carte now. I don’t want to pay for what I don’t use. It helps me not get too distracted by too many pointless shows that make it harder to keep my focus... focus.
