Musicians have more fun: ask around
It&#8217;s portable fun: once you start playing guitar, you&#8217;ll start collecting gear, somehow it comes with the territory.  Buy a cheap guitar and take it with you at the beach, camp, wherever you go.

<li>Musicians have more fun: ask around</li>
<li>It&#8217;s portable fun: once you start playing guitar, you&#8217;ll start collecting gear, somehow it comes with the territory.  Buy a cheap guitar and take it with you at the beach, camp, wherever you go.</li>
<li>It&#8217;s social: start playing and people will stop talking, turn off cell phones, detach from their iPod, and start humming, some will sing, and the most courageous may eve dance.  You&#8217;ll make new friends, and get to know amazing people.  (Add dog if you are single).</li>
</ul>
<p>But wait!  There&#8217;s more:  learning to play guitar will embed in you the most valuable business tool there is:  Project Management:</p>

<li>Plan: make one (online resources etc..), buy one (Books, methods etc..) or    hire someone to make one fore you (teacher)

<li>Perfect Practice make perfect:  only by playing constantly and on a regular basis you will progress on the plan.  30 minutes every day will yield greater results that 3.5 hours every Sunday.</li>
<li>Use it or lose it:  put practice off long enough and you will find that you have fallen behind where you were the last time you practice.</li>
<li>Learn by doing is the only way to learn:  how many books on swimming    can you read and never jump into the water?</li>
<li>Push the envelope:  practicing every day what you know will get you nowhere.  Set the task too high and you will fail without learning.  Set the bar every time a bit higher, practice slow, then increase speed, practice until the conscious efforts grows enough neurons to become habit or second nature, a part of your new you; then move on to the next task.</li>
<li>Enjoy the process, the process is the destination.</li>
</ul>
<p>Can you say the same about your business tools and  habits?</p>
