Hey folks, how are we doing this Sunday? 🍹🍸 Before you buy me a nice white jacket with a long term stay at an Airbnb villa with padded walls when you see the length of this list below...let me offer up this little cryptic fortune cookie for those of you playing the philosophy game: “we don’t always get to choose who and what we love in this life but we do get to choose our obsessions!” 🧙‍♂️ 🤩My chosen obsession happens to be all things music. I’ve read the Wikipedia page of every album I’ve ever liked and the producer. I’ve watched every episode of VH1 Behind The Music I can find…I’d rather watch a music documentary than a movie on any given night of the week. Need I say more or have I said too much, lol?! ✅ The obvious thing to do must be for me to share my obsession (right?) with anyone who has a remote interest in making music but hasn’t started or has been doing it for a while…like many of you here. The curated list below is a collection of resources and cool things that I hope will provide you with some cheat codes to progress faster on your journey to making noise in front of other people or anonymously online. I tried to cover a bit of everything, but it’s mainly focused on electronic dance music. 💃🕺🥳 BOTTOM LINE: if you've ever even remotely had the desire to play an instrument or sing or make music in some way, don't let anything get in your way! Follow that impulse. If you've never drawn before, if you scribble long enough on a piece of paper you will eventually draw a tree, the sun, and a house. Scribbling is part of the journey and where we all start.🏆💯 #Facts #NoCap #Believe ☠️ 🏁N.B Disclaimers & Disclosures: Always check any platform’s latest T&Cs.

I used to do it a lot!!! Everywhere! And then noticed it and shined the light on it. Then you cannot unsee it…. Then I began a journey of discovering more and more. Where else am I going that and shooting myself im the foot?? The more we look for somethings the more things we find…. Then I noticed it in others… and pointing it out when welcomed…. It’s like a fckn virus!!!! It’s everywhere!!! I overcomplicated my whole life!!! My artist name (Al3xAndrovA… MsRositsa…. Why can’t I just use my name??), my business (Opulence, V1B1N, Alexandrova Skool of Music, Vacay Getaway, Al3xAndrovA the Great, Success Consulting, YogAl3, Zen Design Center - why can’t we just not combine??), my music (too much classical in an EDM track), my relationships (interpreting and reading too much into it and making lame excuses for hard evidence that i simply made a wrong choice w a giant POS), my socials (each one of the businesses had its own socials, YouTube etc)…. My offers in the past…. (Long a$$ confusing post / email w too many words and just tiring to look at, let alone to read and comprehend….)…… dang And the list goes on 🤯 Share yours…. And here is no shame in it, just working through it…. Cuz I see YOU! And I no longer slap my unsolicited opinion but I still want to be helpful…. I see it in your offers, your about pages, your excuses, even community name…. So let’s work through, shall we??

Hi folks, hope you are all doing great! @Rositsa Aleksandrova thank you for the warm welcome, it is great to be part of the tribe. 🙏🙂 ✅ The curated list below is a collection of apps I have tried and tested (free tier) over the last five years and still use very often. One of the greatest challenges when starting your own thing, whether it’s a business or creative project or a mix of both, is finding a set of tools to launch and manage your personal vision on a (zero) budget. 🎯 I’ve tried to cover every solution an entrepreneur, artist, or tech-curious person may need. From accounting, content creation, digital media editing, marketing, and research, to “let’s see if AI can do this for me”. ☕🏃💨TL;DR: Canva on a free tier (paid, even better) is versatile enough to do most things. 👨‍🏫 If you have any questions about any of these, drop them in the comments below and I’ll answer where I can, don’t forget to smash that sub…uh, sorry wrong platform. 🙃 If there’s anything you need a specific app for that isn’t covered in the list below; I’ll go take a look in the SaaSiest corners of the web for you, on my own, no guardian angel investor. 🤠 ☠️ 🏁N.B Disclaimers & Disclosures: Always check any platform’s latest T&Cs.

### A Small Experiment I have a slightly different question for everyone today. Imagine a community where, before asking for something, everyone took a moment to ask themselves: **“What can I contribute here?”** Not necessarily money. It could be a skill, an idea, an introduction, an experience, a resource, encouragement, a solution to someone’s problem… even something small. So let’s keep it simple: **What is one thing you can give to someone here today without asking for anything in return?** Just one thing. I’m curious to see what it creates. 🌱
