Daily, we make decisions to do or not do an activity based on the probability that our choice will lead to a "something better."
In making decisions, we examine our future possibles a hundred different ways. In each outcome, we see ourselves. Are we happy? Are we successful? Does this future help us achieve what we need? Yes or no?
In seeing the options, we then weigh which future is best. The best decision wins; we act.
Every choice we make is a bet against ourselves. We are staking one version of our future selves against another; then, we make a choice made by the consideration of probabilities - are we better off or not?
Your customers make bets. The choice to come and see you perform is a bet. We are staking the future self that enjoys experiencing live music against the one that is spending time doing something else; then, we make a choice.
Is the version of ourselves that enjoys experiencing live music coming more "alive" than the version that would instead meet their friends for coffee?
We can't answer that question for people. But we can show them that their decision to experience live music will create an intoxicating feeling they wouldn't want to miss. We make that plea through our invitation - see writings on gathering the tribe.
For you, when it comes to deciding what to do or not do with your life, realize that you're only betting against one of several future versions of you.
Don't overthink.
Choose the path that makes you most come alive.
