Rock to the Top with Dayna Steele

I had the opportunity to hear Dayna Steele and read her book, Rock to the Top – What I Learned about Success from the World’s Greatest Rock Stars.

Tips that she shares include:

Passion + Hard Work = Success

Confidence - Look and act confident, the actual confidence will follow (many rock stars only appear confident)

Quality - Your quality will define your long term reputation (a band is a perfect example of teamwork)

Organization - Organization helps you manage the unexpected (guitar strings break and tour buses break down)

Technology - Embrace and learn new technologies (rock shows would be pretty boring without technology)

Branding - Have a one sentence description for what you do (rock bands names say it all)

Networking - Friends and family are your most valuable assets (almost every band started this way)

Knowledge – Know a little bit about everything (you create more fans when you have broad interests)

Health – Take care of yourself first (not everyone can be Keith Richards)

Appreciation – Write thank you notes (no one can do it alone)

Even if we are only subject matter "rock stars" in limited realms, we can all adapt Dayna's tips improve our abilities to Rock to the Top.
