Thursday night, my wife and I went to see Jim in concert in Pittsfield, MA. Jim Brickman is a great song writer, a fabulous entertainer, and "America's Romantic Piano Sensation." He is rightfully proud of the fact that he writes songs of promise, hope and love.
We had seen Jim in concert, at the same venue, almost exactly two years earlier....at a time when the economy was humming. I estimate that the crowd Thursday night was off like 30% from his prior visit. Nevertheless...and this is the learning point...Jim gave every bit as much as he did on his prior visit.
Jim entertained us with a medley of his many hit songs, as well as material from his newest release, Ultimate Love Songs, The Very Best of Jim Brickman
Jim was accompanied by his long time friend, the very talented vocalist, Anne Cochran.
Besides being a talented musician, Jim is a very savvy businessman. Instead of folding up his tent in tough times, Jim is working harder than ever to grow his following of fans. He is touring from town to town putting on a terrific show and encouraging fans to join his community. And, he keeps writing songs of promise, hope and love...songs that are even more beneficial in these times.
Are you letting the times get you down? Or, like Jim Brickman, have you picked up your game and taken your personal performance to a higher level? A higher level that will not only help you to prosper, but also serve as an inspiration for others as to how to prosper in tough times.
The prosperity choice is yours...it really is!
