Hello, and welcome back to episode #31!
Music's impact on human behavior is a rich and fascinating one that spans centuries and cultures. Music has consistently played a profound role in shaping and reflecting human emotions, attitudes, and behaviors.
Historically, music has been an integral part of various cultural and religious rituals. Ancient civilizations such as the Egyptians, Greeks, and Romans used music during ceremonies, religious rites, and celebrations. These early societies recognized the power of music to evoke emotions, create a sense of unity, and enhance the overall experience of communal events.
The 20th century witnessed a revolution in the music industry with the advent of recorded music and the rise of popular culture. This era introduced a wide range of musical genres, from rock 'n' roll and jazz to hip-hop and electronic dance music. These genres often carried social and political messages, influencing the behavior and attitudes of entire generations.
In recent years, scientific research has confirmed the profound impact of music on human behavior. Studies have shown that music can affect mood, reduce stress, enhance cognitive performance, and even promote social bonding. The therapeutic use of music, known as music therapy, has become a recognized and effective approach for addressing various psychological and emotional issues.
The history of music's impact on human behavior is a testament to its enduring power. Music has served as a source of inspiration, reflection, and transformation, influencing individuals and societies in profound ways throughout history and continuing to do so in the modern age. So, today, I want to dive into the music that inspires us, motivates us, and lifts our spirits.
I'm excited to share my 6 personal go-to favorite inspirational songs that I turn to whenever I need that extra dose of motivation. These are not listed in any specific order.
To kick things off, let's talk about a song that never fails to give me the motivation to tackle any challenge life throws my way. It's "I Won't Back Down" by Tom Petty. This iconic track carries an unwavering sense of determination and strength.

"I Won't Back Down" reminds us that in the face of adversity, we have the power to stand our ground and keep moving forward, no matter what. It's a true anthem for resilience and perseverance.
I would rate this next song as a tie with “I Won’t Back Down”. It’s another Tom Petty classic: "Runnin' Down a Dream." This song has a driving beat and lyrics that inspire us to chase our dreams with unrelenting passion and dedication.

"Runnin' Down a Dream" is a reminder that life is an adventure, and we should never stop pursuing our goals and aspirations. It's the perfect soundtrack for those moments when you're striving for greatness.
Next up is a track that's a little more recent but equally powerful in its message of perseverance: "Lose Yourself" by Eminem. The raw intensity and the powerful lyrics in this song are incredibly motivating.

"Lose Yourself" is all about seizing the moment, giving it your all, and not letting fear hold you back. It's a track that inspires you to overcome obstacles and chase your dreams with unwavering determination.

I can’t do an inspirational list of songs without mentioning "Respect" by the legendary Aretha Franklin. This song is a powerful anthem that demands respect and recognition. Aretha's incredible voice and the empowering lyrics make it a must-have on any motivational playlist.

Listener’s Question of the Week
It’s time for our listener’s question of the week. Today’s question is one that I have frequently been asked over the years. Is this something that you are asked too?
I need you but I can’t afford to hire you. What do I do? Often times this is used to open the door to ask for a discount.
I know the legal industry has a deep history of working pro bono, and I personally have done a lot of work over the years for free because I love to use my skills for good and help where I can. And, that’s great if you are in a situation where you can move forward working for free, but the fact is that you are running a business.
Profit is not a dirty word. Profit is required to fuel your business to grow and it is what puts food on your table at home.
I know how I respond, but I’m in a different position than you. Not always, but many times I am able to change the scope of my services to fit the budget. I know that’s not possible in the legal world.
So, how do you handle situations like this? Is there something that you can offer instead such as a prepared template for a standard contract or operating agreement that you can sell for a lower price in comparison to a custom prepared document? Or can you write a short book to walk a layman through how to set up their new LLC or navigate small claims court? A book can easily be published and sold as a PDF document or as a paperback through Amazon.
Again, I know there are limitations on what you can offer, but I’m curious what genius ways you have created to assist leads who can’t afford your services. Please share them with me by commenting below if you are on YouTube or send me and email.
If you have a question to be answered on a future podcast episode, please send it to [email protected].
Inspirational Quote
This week’s inspirational quote is from anonymous, “Once you replace negative thoughts with positive ones, you will start having positive results.”
Final Thoughts
Final thoughts for today! Music has been the foundation of my life. I don’t come from a musical family, but even my earliest memories always have a song associated with them. It’s how I bonded with friends growing up.
While I only mentioned 6 songs today, I have published my playlist from Spotify that’s called “Be Unstoppable!”. It’s my go-to playlist when I need that extra help to get through my day. You can listen HERE.

And before I go, remember profit is something you intentionally plan for in the beginning. It is not a potential bonus at the end of the year.
Thanks and have a great day.
