Danny Rampling Shares 20 Years Experience at The Top

Everything You Need To Know About DJ’ing & Success

Danny Rampling Shares 20 Years Experience at The Top

Hello again. Yesterday I sent you a complimentary overview of what I cover insection 1 of the book.Beneath is your complimentary segment from the ‘Life Skills & Achievement’section of the book,

(To see what else is covered in Section 2, please see the end of this email)

Be Likeable and Smile

I don’t have to say much about this. You know the answer yourself. It’s much nicer tobe around people who are pleasant and likeable rather than toxic, critical andcondescending. A smile speaks a thousand words and triggers off emotions in thebody that instantly make you feel better. Try smiling and feeling negative. The twoare not compatible.More importantly, smiling at others warms people to you and indicates connectionand friendliness, which in turns opens up contact and the platform for opportunities. Ilove the quote “Some people are too tired to give you a smile. Give them one of yours, as none needs a smile as much as he who has no more to give.”

Attitude and Enthusiasm

Think about this for a moment. Who would you rather be around? A negative,condescending person (or group of people) who put other people down and talkingabout all the bad things in their lives, or enthusiastic, positive people who enjoycomplementing other people and sharing the good things that are happening in eachothers lives (and the world around them)?I can promise you that if you decide to adopt a positive outlook in life and youapproach any situation with enthusiasm, those doors, opportunities and openings willpresent themselves to you. Do you know people who always seem to ‘land on their feet’ or ‘be in the right place at the right time’? From my experience in business andlife, I would ALWAYS select to work with someone who has the right attitude, even if they didn’t have the aptitude (over someone who has the right aptitude but the wrongattitude). Why you may ask? Because someone with the right attitude can always betaught the necessary skills so that their aptitude increases. On the other hand it’svery hard to change someone’s attitude and a negative attitude is not conducive or pleasant to be around. Most seriously successful people are optimists, positive andfind the good in any situation: and they attract similar people into their lives!By being enthusiastic you ‘emit’ a positive energy which is contagious and affectsthose around you. Likewise, negativity can be a pollutant that affects those aroundyou.I’d say that a large part of my success as a global DJ, producer and radio presenter has been because I’ve always treated people in the same way that I’d like to betreated (also known as ‘the Golden Rule’). Being friendly, polite and helpful toeveryone (irrelevant of position, status or connections) costs nothing but has ‘rippleeffects’ far beyond ‘the now’. More importantly, it makes for a happier more peacefulworld.If you don’t already, make a decision to be pleasant to be around. People will ‘warm’to you more and the opportunities that weren’t there before will start to show up!Everything You Need To Know About DJ’ing & Success

Ask for What You Want!

OK we’ve all heard of ‘Ask and Ye Shall Receive’, ‘Knock on the door and the door will be opened’ and ‘Everything will come to he who asks’. Yep, this may sound alittle simple but it’s such an imperative part of your success in the music businessand also life in general. Do you know people who don’t necessarily have the bestskills for a job, but have gotten it ahead of other more competent people? Often,these are the vocal, assertive people who are not afraid of asking for what they want.Think of something that you would like in your life. Now think of someone who canhelp you to get this in one way or another: someone who can introduce you tosomeone, someone who has a skill set or information you would like to know moreabout.OK, so here’s your challenge. ASK them for their help. Here’s an important lessonthat you should be aware of and one that moved me forwards in my career rapidly.You’ve got to learn to ASK for what you want. What’s the worst possible outcome?The person says no, politely declines or very worst case, refuses to help you. BIGDEAL! You’re in no worse place then you were before you asked and at least you‘grew’ because you tried.On the whole, it is my life experience that if you are a good, friendly and honestperson that people like to help others. If you ask for genuine help in a sinceremanner then almost all positive people are happy to do what they can to assist you.Think about yourself. If a person asks you for help what is your natural reaction? Itfeels good to give and it feels good to help others.Think of someone you can ask for something now: advice, contacts, information or assistance. Push your comfort zone TODAY (not tomorrow, next week, or sometimein the future) and ask them politely and sincerely for what you would like………andsee what happens?

Modelling: Don’t reinvent the Wheel

Do you want to fast track your success? Here’s one of the smartest things you cando. MODEL someone who has got the results that you want. Life is far too short (andbesides that it’s merely not being smart) to try and figure it all out for your life.If you want to learn to make music isn’t it wise to invest in a teacher or course thatteaches you how to get the results you want? If you want to learn to engineer astudio, then go somewhere and spend some money on learning from someone whois an expert in that field: there are loads of options, invest in a course, a book, inpersonal tuition etc Likewise, if you want to spin like a certain DJ, then listen to howthey play, how they structure their sets, how they select their tunes, how they mix(length, style, fluidity etc).This is one of the most simple, powerful and profound tips I can share with you.EVERY successful person uses this whether they are conscious of it or not. Think of it as a recipe for success: if you want to learn to cook like a professional who hasdedicated their LIFE to learning, then pick up a Gordon Ramsay or Jamie Oliver book. What do they do in the book? They tell you step by step how to prepare andput the ingredients together, how long to cook it, in what style and at whattemperature. And hey presto in minutes or hours you can distil a life of learning to get(OK maybe not perfect first time) a SIMILAR result. What have you just done?You’ve been smart, invested in learning from an expert, and cut your learning time byYEARS! That’s called ‘modelling’ which is a hugely powerful form of ‘leverage’.Everything You Need To Know About DJ’ing & Success
