Fantazzmo: In Order to Evolve and Grow, We Must Step Out of Our Comfort Zone
In order to evolve and grow, we must step out of our comfort zone. Most of us are not born with the skill set or blessed with the talent needed to achieve our goals. We may have the desire, the character traits and the physical capabilities, but there is a set of skills and life experiences that we need to accomplish our dreams.
If your dream is to be a great athlete, you must learn how to train hard, practice, focus, discipline yourself, sacrifice, be coachable and able to take criticism both constructive and not; plus a million other traits. These and other traits are shared with almost any goal in life. For example, if you want to be a successful recording artist, you'll need the above traits plus be personable, sociable to build a network and team, you may need to learn how to command and capture the attention of a crowd, you'll need to implement social networking and media sites, perform in front of audiences large and small, the list goes on and on.
The good news is that success can be modeled. There are traits that all successful people share. Just like the traits in the previous paragraph can be applied to most of our goals, there are habits all successful people share, pick up Stephen R. Covey's book, "The 7 Habits of Highly Effective People" or Napoleon Hill's, "Think and Grow Rich." You will realize the skill set, traits, habits of people that achieve their life's goals have a lot in common, and a lot of it has to do with stepping out of the box.
If you're in music, business, media, housing, finance, etc, you will notice they all share a development or evolution. Someone thought outside of the box, stepped out of the normal comfort zones and came up with something different and amazing. Look at Steve Jobs and Apple, constantly coming up with new products that enhance our lives and often quality of life. There is risk taking involved, stepping out of the comfort zone.
Once you establish your goal, find out what it takes to be successful and plan how you are going to get there and stay there. This may be babysteps, or you may dive in head first, but implement proven business models.
Success can be duplicated and more often than not, you will have to do things you do not normally do in every day life to accomplish your goals.
I have never built a website, recorded an album, played guitar and sang in a band before. I have never tried to engage and communicate with a crowd, heck, I always wanted to be the guy on the left of the vocalist, now I must learn to do that job too! I have never tried to design a marketing campaign for a rock band, I can go on and on with a list things I have never done that I am doing now.
I don't just write this stuff, I myself am stepping out of my comfort zone daily to make Fantazzmo a successful recording artist.
Best of luck to you in your life's endeavors!

Fantazzmo: Responsibly Pursuing Your Dreams
Fantazzmo: Responsibly Pursuing Your Dreams
Responsibly doing what you love to do, living your dreams, following your dreams, pursuing your dreams while paying your bills and maybe taking care of a family as well. It is definitely possible, totally possible and even more so now thanks to the Internet.
Thanx to the internet you can work your job and perform functions that can reach across the world to help you in your endeavors. If you're a musician, you can upload a new song to YouTube or your website. If you're a photographer, painter, anything, you can always enhance whatever portfolio, website, project and get views, feedback, responses, sales, new opportunities all from your own home! This is truly a blessing.
Back to your day job: Keep in mind, the performance of any work you have to support yourself while striving for your goal is very often an indication of how you will perform that goal once it is reached. If you feel you are above the tasks you are performing, chances are, you will build bad habits and take them with you to your goals, or maybe not achieve them at all. You see, your outlook on what you do and how you perform in every aspect of your life is the outlook you will have on your goal.
It takes a certain frame of mind, intellect, and awareness to truly work hard, struggle and accomplish your goals when you do not have a ton of money backing you up. That may delay you a bit, but cannot prevent you in accomplishing your life's mission.
Yes, you may take longer to get where you want to go than a person blessed with money to back them up, but you will learn a multitude of other new skills along the way, and you will appreciate the goal that much more when you get there. You will be stronger, more resilient, appreciative, humble, focused, confident and more aware of everything around you. Most of all, you will build the mindset and character to be able to handle that success once you reach it. History is filled with individuals who are handed things to them, or achieve positions, status, or success too easily or undeservingly; they often do not have what it takes to keep it, you will!
You will have all the skills these individuals lack, because you have gained them on the journey to your goals. The extra skills you possess will help keep you balanced, and more importantly.....will help keep you humble.
Anything in life worth having is hard work. There are no shortcuts.
Good luck!

Fantazzmo: CD Review: Bring on the Mixed Reviews(Oct 26, 2010)
Bring on the Mixed Reviews- October 26, 2010
Fantazzmo – 1: Enter The Fantazz
Set to a whimsical name and a manifesto of rock-aimed sexual rebellion, Sergio Bedolla started his solo project “Fantazzmo,” which draws influence from classic bands like The Beatles and The Rolling Stones — with hints of reggae akin to 311 and RATM. Fantazzmo‘s opener “Superman” filled with sexual lyrics. Really something for me to chuckle at for a few listens. The rest of “1: Enter The Fantazz” however features more low-key songs, like the echoed beauty and fretwork efforts of “Eternal Abyss.” A late energetic kick with Coheed & Cambria-esque squealing guitars in “Souls On Ice” add some spice, but Fantazzmo get more points in my book for having spouts of classical Santana, than sounding similar to any modern-day bands. The acoustic opus “Cancion De La Gitana” finishes the record off nicely, with busy, swiftly-plucked fretwork. Truly an odd effort, that features technical guitars, but overall a nice surprise.
Decision: Approve
