Not A Rant

Firstly this is not a rant about how bad things are.

Nomads Are Not Anxious or Exhausted

Secondly this is about how anxiety back in the world doesn’t seem to effect nomads.

New Research About American Life Is Not Good

Most importantly research shows people are waking up in the middle of the night and end up tired all day.

Boundaries Gone

In addition all boundaries seem to have evaporated. It’s all in American-Dream-To-Nightmare-Bob Davis Podcast 1031.

Bad Food

Finally our eating habits are worse then ever.

Sugar Highs Drinking And Drugging

Even more drinking and drugging seems to be the order of the day.

Gone Nuts

Seems like the whole world has gone nuts.

Back In The World

On the other hand I don’t feel it as much as my friends back in the world.

Wonder Years To X-Files

Moreover the much vaunted American Dream’s Wonder Years seem have been replaced with the X-Files.

Desert Life Means No Anxiety

Meanwhile out here in the desert the anxiety doesn’t seem to reach us.

Choosing The Nomad Life

In the same vein my peace is due to choosing the nomad life.

High Vibration

And the nomad life is a very high vibration.

So it works for me.

Consequently don’t let the title of this podcast scare you.

New American Dream

For example there’s no reason a New American Dream can’t take hold and flourish.

Freedom To Choose

That is to say a dream where we we have the freedom to choose the life we define.

Take This Job and Shove It

Maybe this is why so many people are singing ‘Take This Job and Shove it’.

Hit The Road

For example I threw the baby out with the bath water.

Hitting the road permanently.

You Might Not Need The Extreme Approach

On the other hand someone else’s dream might not require such an extreme approach.

Better Nutrition

Finally it’s about proper nutrition and living better.

Choices We Can Make

Most importantly these are choices we can make.

Taking Back Control Of Our Life

To sum up creating The New American Dream may have something to do with seizing control.

Brink Of Madness

In short it’s time to take our lives back from the brink of madness.

And if it means making an offer on your old man’s 1996 RV…

Then I’ll save a spot for you in Quartzsite!

Sick-Of-Myself-Bob Davis Podcast 1030

Sick Of Myself

Firstly how do you journal? I record voice notes. Then months later I transcribe them. You know where this is going right? After 6 weeks of transcribing I am pretty sick of myself. Learn more in Sick-Of-Myself-Bob Davis Podcast 1030.

Inventory and Review

Secondly there is no better way to inventory and review what’s going on in your life.

Kept Journals

Most importantly I have kept journals off and on since I was a kid.

Notebooks Give Way To Voice Notes

However recently with travel I’ve found the simplest way to express inner feelings is to record voice notes on my phone.

Transcribing

In the same vein the idea of transcribing those voice notes allows me to gain some perspective on what’s really been happening in the past year or so.

Tedious Work

But spending hours transcribing my voice gets a little tedious.

Now I am Sick Of Myself

Even more I am left with the being sick of myself.

Got It Done

But I got it done!

Of course I say this somewhat in jest.

Creative Projects

On the other hand transcribing voice journals provides me with a lot of basic material for future creative projects.

Stopped Down In The Desert

In addition I have had the time because I am stopped down in the desert.

Change From The Usual

To clarify usually I am barnstorming around the country.

Stay Put

But this winter I have decided to stay put

High Price Of Fuel

Firstly there’s the high price of fuel right now.

Having Fun Boon Docking

And secondly I’ve really enjoyed boon docking in the desert.

Hanging Out

Therefore I’m hanging out in this little South Western corner of Arizona for the time being.

Creative

Above all I’m rededicating myself to the creative side of my business.

Fun Experience

To sum up it’s quite a fun experience to get to know yourself a little more intimately.

Ups and Downs

Certainly the past year has had it’s ups and downs.

Story Arc

But there’s a real story arc there and I am pretty excited about some of the things I didn’t include in the podcasts during 2020 and 2021.

Scratched The Surface

Finally I feel like I have only scratched the surface on this nomad thing.

Prepare

Consequently it has been good to stop down, review, take stock and prepare for the future.

I’ll-Take-The-Artists-Way-Bob Davis Podcast 1029

I’ll Take The Artists Way

Above all I’ll take The Artists Way. Therefore I’ll-Take-The-Artists-Way-Bob Davis Podcast 1029 is about how creative businesses may not respond to the usual business advice.

Wearing Two Hats

Firstly I have come to the conclusion wearing two hats isn’t always a good idea.

For example I’m a Podcaster, Blogger, Writer and a sales guy.

At Odds With Myself

On the contrary trying to be a creator and sales guy might be at odds for a creative business.

Personal Inventory

Consequently during this season of personal inventory and review I’ll Take The Artists Way.

Certainly I’ll continue to serve current and future sponsors.

Shifting Focus To Bliss

But I am shifting my focus.

No More Limiting Creativity

To clarify I have decided to cut loose certain approaches that have limited my creativity.

The Need To Explain

Even more, practices that have made me feel the need to explain away my creativity.

Or Apologize

Or even apologize for it.

No more.

Principles Of A Creative Business

That is to say I am rededicating myself to the principles of a creative business.

Overnight Success

For example we creators might work blissfully for a long time and no one notices. It isn’t for everyone, but if you’re a creative, it’s the life.

After Years Of Work

Subsequently something goes viral or you build up over time and suddenly you’re an ‘overnight’ success.

Creative Upside Can Be Huge

In other words the potential of a creative business is unlike the potential of any other kind of ‘predictable’ business.

Best Practices? No Thanks

Most importantly we can’t rely on ‘best practices’ and screaming motivational coaches.

What’s A Spread Sheet?

Moreover we don’t respond to spread sheets and restrictions because we just don’t care.

Creators Can Cash In

In addition the truth is a creative business may have more upside potential than a bunch of apartment buildings and tire shops.

You never know.

Unlock The Potential

And the only way to unlock that potential is to concentrate on one’s own creative impulse.

Decision Time

In short I can observe and orient a thing to death while trying to wear two or three hats.

This is a time for decision.

Action Time

But most importantly it is a time for action.

In I’ll-Take-The-Artists-Way-Bob Davis Podcast 1029 I’ll explain what I am doing and why.
