When I recruited musical talent, I would work with agents. They, the agents, would pitch artists to me, I'd review their skill, and sometimes I'd clear them to move forward or would decline. Sometimes, the agents would push back on my decision to decline an artist.

To say I experience a rush from people pushing back on my ideas, at least back then, would be an understatement. I thrived on the debate. When pressed, I would often ask an agent if they "would be willing to bet their business with me on this candidate?"

Can you imagine the level of doubt that creates in the mind of the agent? Putting myself in their position, I don't know if I'd know how to answer.

Too often, I believe agents said "yes" to get their person in-the-door; however, a few times, I think they cared about the artist. Nonetheless, it's quite a bet and one that makes you rethink your positions.

I am willing to bet that life challenges you to rethink your beliefs more often than not. I'll go so far as to say you live in doubt about your life choices most of the time. Perhaps you enjoy this blog because you seek some clarity?

To question one's self is to seek clarity. Seeking clarity helps you define the path forward. Tomorrow, I'll share some questions you can ask yourself to help reshape your beliefs, challenge yourself, and decide if you're willing to bet your life on a decision.
