Where Are They Now? Catching Up With the 2011 Elite 8
Aman Narain, Global Head of Online and Mobile Banking, Standard Chartered (London)
Aman Narain, global head of online and mobile banking for Standard Chartered since 2008, has kept busy since being recognized as an Elite 8 honoree last year. In addition to overseeing the bank's mobile and online channels, he is now responsible for digital channels within branches and ATMs and for developing integrated solutions across all of them.
According to Narain, Standard Chartered has been ramping up a focus on monetizing the web, using the online channel for sales and wealth management capabilities in particular, especially in Hong Kong, where the firm recently launched mobile trading applications. The firm also has extended its suite of mobile applications, Breeze, in terms of both geography and capabilities. Breeze now enables equity trading, for example. The mobile app suite even supports the home-buying process, generating mortgage business. "With Breeze," Narain explains, "you can point a mobile phone at a building and it will tell you everything you need to know about it." Breeze currently is available in nine markets and will be in three more by the end of the year.
Standard Chartered is beginning to offer its smartphone banking solutions from more developed markets, such as Hong Kong, Singapore and Korea, in Africa, starting in Nigeria and extending across the continent. The firm also launched smartphone banking in China in the spring. "That was extensively an iPhone client, but now we're using mobile web to help serve our Android users in these markets as well," Narain relates.
From a servicing perspective, Narain says, Standard Chartered will work to help customers serve themselves and manage their account relationship directly, without having to come into a branch. "In some of our markets where we don't have a wide branch presence, travel times are long -- in places like India, for instance," Narain explains. "So we will focus on self-service through the online channels and on integrating that information into a CRM system that we've been building over the past year."

I don't know why you would want the original one - I don't like how shiny it looks and how the wings are just weird lines... the one they got is definitely a wreck though!

I don't know that I would want the real thing, let alone the wreck. xP
- November 10, 2009 at 10:00 AM
Wow, the original cake, to me, already looks less than appealing (you expect a lovely, juicy piece of turkey breast, you get cake and buttercream instead, your tastebuds won't know what hit them) but leave it to a wrecktastic baker to make it even worse. Yuck...
- November 10, 2009 at 10:00 AM

Uh why is that picture of what they ordered so shiny?
- November 10, 2009 at 10:02 AM
They got what they deserved if they ordered that cake. Both cakes are wrecks!
- November 10, 2009 at 10:12 AM
Is this an ice-cream cake? It looks like the Baskin-Robbins cake I saw in the local store here. I wonder if the directions included adding wire-yikes.

Well, I gotta say, what they got definitely looks like one of the rotisserie chickens you can pick up at the local grocery store for $7.

I'm sure someones said this already, but the original picture doesn't look much better. :P
- November 10, 2009 at 10:20 AM
It looks like an ice cream cake to me.....that shiny gravy is most likely caramel sauce (the same stuff you have on your sundae). What I don't understand is why they didn't use a mold and instead hit the cake decoration supply section at the Home Depot....
- November 10, 2009 at 10:22 AM
Gross. just what we wanted for dessert... cake with brown colored gel all over it. The first one is awful looking enough!!

I'm not even sure I approve of the "what they wanted" cake. They're both pretty gross.
- November 10, 2009 at 10:40 AM
Eew. How could a cake make me want to be a vegetarian.
Side note: even in the original cake...no turkey should EVER be that shiny. - November 10, 2009 at 10:44 AM
on what planet is that thing in the background apple pie ala mode?
- November 10, 2009 at 10:45 AM
- Niecey said...
Well, there went my appetite.
- November 10, 2009 at 10:45 AM
It is a baskin robbins cake! Who wants frozen turkey! You can find it no their website.
- November 10, 2009 at 10:46 AM
I used to work there, decorating cakes. the turkey cakes are REALLY hard to make! you have to use a "melon" mold, fill it with ice cream then hand cut frozen cake to fit the bottom. you then have to take 2 scoops of ice cream and sugar cones for the legs.
we ordinary just frosted it in chocolate or coffee flavored ice cream or white ice cream dyed tan but apparently the one in the advertisement is frosted in caramel (you have NO IDEA how hard that would be! caramel melts the ice cream and then slides off and/or lumps up).
the turkey cakes actually sell pretty well. i mean its frigging ice cream! especially if they are a "thanksgiving-ey" flavor like pumpkin pie ice cream.
but yeah the actual cake is very wrecky, no wire people!! - November 10, 2009 at 10:47 AM

It's not electrical wire; it's an artery.

I have to say that this is quite possibly the most disgusting looking cake you have ever posted. It looks moist and meaty, which is not what a cake should look like. It took alot of deep breaths before I could look at is a second time without tasting my breakfast again. Blech, oooooohhhhhhh yucky, nasty, gross and DISGUSTING!!!! Give me bleeding armadillo cake anyday compared to that wreckage.
- November 10, 2009 at 10:49 AM

I am very afraid to know what flavor that cake is.
If it's turkey flavored, it will go great with some Jones mashed potato flavored soda. - November 10, 2009 at 10:49 AM
Who would want slimy frozen turkey! YUCK!

The ineptitude on display with the second cake is fairly staggering, but I'm tempted to say that anyone who would think the "Turkey Cake" in the first picture looks good, deserves the second cake.
- November 10, 2009 at 11:07 AM
I guess you could serve this with Jones Soda's flavors for Thanksgiving, featuring "Green Bean Casserole" and "Mashed Potato and Butter." With a bowl of Pepto for dessert, please.

So let me get this straight: is the first on the Turkey as it was presented on the table to begin with and the second one the Turkey after it was discovered to be rabid? I don't understand...
- November 10, 2009 at 11:11 AM
- DinaHaansley said...
You know the funny thing is the fact the wrecked cake actually looks more like a real turkey than the well-polished one they were suppose to get, an undercooked, vehemently gross turkey, but a turkey nonetheless. lol
- November 10, 2009 at 11:17 AM
Am I the only one who thought the original 'what they wanted' cake actually looks kinda awesome? Kinda like a caramel apple, but with ice-cream...
- November 10, 2009 at 11:19 AM

Even the original looks disgusting. Why would anyone want a cake disguised as a turkey??

I'm happy that we've already celebrated Thanksgiving in Canada. Seeing that at the table would have ruined my appetite for the whole weekend.

Eww! I can't imagine an occasion where a turkey cake is ever appropriate.
On further consideration, this makes me think back to the baby cakes. Time for analogies!

I'm not sure why there's so much blame-the-victim stuff about ordering the cake in the first place...maybe they thought it was funny, maybe they wanted it to sit beside a real turkey to amuse others, who knows. I don't like lots of potential cake themes but that doesn't mean the concept of having one is invalid if it suits someone else's interests.
I've been snarked for making an eyeball cake and some of my other horror/RPG cakes, but they amused me and my friends so feh to anyone who has a problem with it...it's not like anyone else is being forced to eat it.
That being said, the actual cake as made is truly disgusting, and I'm sure not even up to health code with that wire in there. It looks like the turkey was tortured before being killed and cooked. Egads, it's awful. - November 10, 2009 at 1:35 PM

lol i'm more amused at ppl who write that they barfed or tasted their breakfast. ppl really? its just a picture.
and stop asking "who would want such a cake?" if it was available to be bought that meant a number off ppl wanted a frozen ice cream cake shaped like a turkey. geez.

It was great meeting you two last night here in Atlanta...I've looked through the book several times now, showing it to coworkers and such, and I keep finding new things to crack up over. It's like you said...sometimes you've just got to let the wrecky details sink in...

As someone who would want cakes in the shape of organs, steak, or any other unsavory, wtf styles, this creeps me out. There's something about it that makes me squiggle. I wouldn't want either cake D:
As someone mentioned, I think its because both are SHINY. VERY SHINY. Why so shiny? It's like as though you basted your turkey in disgusting corny syrupy fake turkey taste. I can understand that they make want to make it brown, but why not chocolate icing? What's wrong with that? - November 10, 2009 at 4:08 PM

Unfortunately, this time, we're the ones not getting it right. Still, if you've got the disposable income in this economy, more power to you. I'll just be at my house with the real thing! - November 10, 2009 at 5:04 PM

I'm a newcomer to Cake Wrecks, but I've found one of your youngest fans. Last night my 21-month-old was next to me as I perused past posts. Today he saw me open my laptop and he ran over eagerly, saying, "Take! Take, peas," which translates "Cake! Cake, please."
I found the desired blog and enjoyed his enthusiam for the Sesame Street sweets and the wrecks that followed. He is particularly found of the turkey cake, which he insists is a "duct take."
I'm sure I'll be checking in regularly if Mikey has anything to say about it. Thanks for the laughs and the mama-son bonding opportunity. - November 10, 2009 at 8:33 PM

That is just the worst thing I've ever seen here, and that is really saying something!
WHY? I think the wanted one is gross too. - November 10, 2009 at 8:48 PM
That's so sad!! There's no wire in it, we had one last year since none of us really like a big giant Turkey for thanksgiving. It's not actually Gravy, it's a mix of chocolate and caramel sauces.
It's pretty delicious! - November 10, 2009 at 8:55 PM
- Unknown said...
The first one looks pretty gross to me. The second one pretty much does look like the first, except it looks like someone got excited and tried to pull off a drumstick. But really, it's not that bad.
- November 10, 2009 at 10:38 PM
Is this supposed to keep me from overdoing it this Thanksgiving? Because if I keep these cakes in mind, mission: accomplished! Consider my appetite suppressed.

If it weren't so tragically mangled, I'd be tempted to serve this up alongside a turkey flavored "meat cake" and watch the facial expressions...

I actually did get the turkey cake one year for my springtime birthday, simply to confuse people. Thankfully, mine looked more like the first cake.

Years ago I found a prepackaged, imported cake called "Mr. Turkey" at an Italian bakery and believe it or not it was a huge hit. It wasn't glazed or frosted, which probably helped...it had bits of orange in it, and powdered sugar to sprinkle on top. It also came with those ruffly drumstick ends (made of sugar) to stick on before serving. Every year since then I've tried to find it again to no avail.

Yeah . . . we all thought my sister was crazy when she asked for a turkey cake this year for her birthday, but it actually was pretty fun :). I'm no professional, but I still think mine looked better, and with cookie "stuffing" I can almost bet it tasted better!

LOL!!! I can't believe someone ordered this cake! At my store we will NOT be doing this cake for anyone. It is hard to keep the caramel (yes that shiny stuff is caramel) on the ice cream is a b****!!!!
- November 16, 2009 at 9:24 AM
I'm sure this cake was not inexpensive -- why would you buy it and then complain? Just say, "no".
- November 25, 2009 at 10:35 AM
- Rachel said...
Surprisingly, I work at one of these stores and, while we didn't sell any last year, the year before we sold a ton. They look better, more matte, before the caramel gets put on it. Even in person they look disgusting, yet people have bought them right out of our case.

What's the story on the offering in the background? 'Apple pie a la mode' as some kind of all-in-one concoction (could be okay), covered in frosting (diet aid). Is that a pie-cake? Nothing is what it seems!
- May 2, 2010 at 5:22 AM
To be fair, I work at the establishment that offers this cake (I see you have cleverly obscured the logo... very sneaky) and this cake is VERY hard to make. It involves putting melted caramel on top of frozen ice cream in a weird shape. Not sure if you've tried it, but it isn't surprising that the decorators had a hard time.

To Anonymous who said;
'and this cake is VERY hard to make. It involves putting melted caramel on top of frozen ice cream in a weird shape. Not sure if you've tried it, but it isn't surprising that the decorators had a hard time.'
So that excuses them for getting money for shoddy work? Does this excuse shoddy work in other places? 'Oh wah wah it's to hard to make this *thing here*' or 'wah it's to hard to do *thing*' how about I half ass it, it doesn't matter, who cares!
Yeah, how about you go eat this disgusting fail of an ice cream cake. - July 28, 2010 at 3:25 AM
You have to admire the hi-gloss finish on the original cake. It looks like it was polished by a fanatical car owner - heavy on the Turtle Wax and/or shellac.
I wonder if s/he used a power buffer? - August 13, 2010 at 2:12 AM

I think a turkey cake is hilarious! Everyone seems to be taking this seriously but I think it's supposed to be a funny thing. As for the replica, I do not believe this actually came from Baskin Robins because the turkey legs are extended out past the board which means it didn't get put in a box. How would they have gotten this home without a box. It is definately a bad replica. I guess a BR employee could hve taken this pic at the store but to say it came from B.R. doesn't seem fair.
- November 14, 2010 at 1:13 AM
I work for Baskin Robbins and all I have to say us I HATE that cake. . . we dont even do the caramel glaze because it NEVER works!
- February 21, 2011 at 11:29 PM
I work for them and these cakes are really hard to make but this year they solved this problem by icing it in butter cream first and then the caramel on top it turns out like the picture. this is really funny though. I really hoped someone didn't have to pay for that.

What's a Wreck?
What's a Wreck?
A Cake Wreck is any cake that is unintentionally sad, silly, creepy, inappropriate - you name it. A Wreck is not necessarily a poorly-made cake; it's simply one I find funny, for any of a number of reasons. Anyone who has ever smeared frosting on a baked good has made a Wreck at one time or another, so I'm not here to vilify decorators: Cake Wrecks is just about finding the funny in unexpected, sugar-filled places.
Now, don't you have a photo you want to send me? ;)

We don't have any copies of Cake Wrecks for sale here, autographed or otherwise. We decided the shipping and handling costs would be too high to make it worth your while. So instead, buy your copies locally or online and then order personalized bookplates: it's cheaper, easier, and I think even looks a bit nicer.

We've got good news to pass along regarding the open heart surgery performed Thursday on seven-year-old Max Page, the child actor who captivated viewers as "Little Darth Vader" in a 2011 Volkswagen commercial.
"The surgery today went very well," Max's surgeon, Dr. Vaughn Starnes, says in a statement posted online by Children's Hospital Los Angeles. "We went in to replace his pulmonary valve, which we did without incident. Max is in the cardiac ICU and recovering very well."
Max is expected to be in the hospital another three days or so.
Our earlier post about Max and his surgery is here. And if you need a lift this morning, the VW ad is here.

From The Wall Street Journal
In Hoc Anno Domini
When Saul of Tarsus set out on his journey to Damascus the whole of the known world lay in bondage. There was one state, and it was Rome. There was one master for it all, and he was Tiberius Caesar.
Everywhere there was civil order, for the arm of the Roman law was long. Everywhere there was stability, in government and in society, for the centurions saw that it was so.
But everywhere there was something else, too. There was oppression -- for those who were not the friends of Tiberius Caesar. There was the tax gatherer to take the grain from the fields and the flax from the spindle to feed the legions or to fill the hungry treasury from which divine Caesar gave largess to the people. There was the impressor to find recruits for the circuses. There were executioners to quiet those whom the Emperor proscribed. What was a man for but to serve Caesar?
There was the persecution of men who dared think differently, who heard strange voices or read strange manuscripts. There was enslavement of men whose tribes came not from Rome, disdain for those who did not have the familiar visage. And most of all, there was everywhere a contempt for human life. What, to the strong, was one man more or less in a crowded world?
Then, of a sudden, there was a light in the world, and a man from Galilee saying, Render unto Caesar the things which are Caesar's and unto God the things that are God's.
And the voice from Galilee, which would defy Caesar, offered a new Kingdom in which each man could walk upright and bow to none but his God. Inasmuch as ye have done it unto one of the least of these my brethren, ye have done it unto me. And he sent this gospel of the Kingdom of Man into the uttermost ends of the earth.
So the light came into the world and the men who lived in darkness were afraid, and they tried to lower a curtain so that man would still believe salvation lay with the leaders.
But it came to pass for a while in divers places that the truth did set man free, although the men of darkness were offended and they tried to put out the light. The voice said, Haste ye. Walk while you have the light, lest darkness come upon you, for he that walketh in darkness knoweth not whither he goeth.
Along the road to Damascus the light shone brightly. But afterward Paul of Tarsus, too, was sore afraid. He feared that other Caesars, other prophets, might one day persuade men that man was nothing save a servant unto them, that men might yield up their birthright from God for pottage and walk no more in freedom.
Then might it come to pass that darkness would settle again over the lands and there would be a burning of books and men would think only of what they should eat and what they should wear, and would give heed only to new Caesars and to false prophets. Then might it come to pass that men would not look upward to see even a winter's star in the East, and once more, there would be no light at all in the darkness.
And so Paul, the apostle of the Son of Man, spoke to his brethren, the Galatians, the words he would have us remember afterward in each of the years of his Lord:
Stand fast therefore in the liberty wherewith Christ has made us free and be not entangled again with the yoke of bondage.
This editorial was written in 1949 by the late Vermont Royster and has been published annually since.

For fastest service, call me now 469-406-6961
Many residents of PANAMA CITY , and the entire State of FL for that matter, find themselves looking for information about how to sell an inherited house before probate. This is either because they have inherited a house through a will or have been named as executor in this document.
This is a situation that raises the need to find answers to several important questions. One of those important questions is "can you sell a house before probate is granted?"
Individuals who ended up with an inherited home often can't or don't want to keep it. It could be their parent's home where both parents are now deceased. One option is to put the house on the market but the question is, "can you sell an inherited house before probate?"
If a will exists chances are a family member who is close to the deceased is aware of this important document. It may be that a particular person is named as the executor in the will. The executor has the duty and obligation to see that the last wishes as outlined in the will are fully carried out. If property is involved in the estate, such as a house, this most likely will have to go through a probate process.
Individuals who have inherited a house may not realize that it has to go through a probate process. They may attempt to put the house on the market for sale. If they use a Realtor to attend to this, an experienced agent will know that the house must go through the "selling a house before probate" process. This is in order for a sale to be legal.
The probate laws are in place to ensure that the wishes of the will are carried out as intended. This is the main reason why selling a house before probate is not allowed in many states.
Luckily, in FL there are some controlled exceptions to this. There is an alternative to go through the standard probate procedure. This is using a process called "Muniment of Title". This is applicable when a will was left but there were no debts secured by real property. This alternative process is done by validating the will in a local county court. Once this court has approved the validation, property titles can be transferred to the beneficiaries.
There is also an alternative that should be looked at in FL (Disclaimer: check with a local attorney to see if this is applicable to FL). This is for those who are looking at selling a house before probate. This is called Affidavit of Heirship. This can be utilized if the property in the estate only amounted to real property, i.e., a house or houses.
With this process the property titles are transferred to the heirs. It involves two individuals who have nothing to gain from the estate sign the affidavit. Once this is done this document must then be filed with the deed record department in the local county where the house is located.
The next question that often is raised is can you sell a house that is already going through probate?
It may have been discovered that selling a house before probate is not allowed in many states. It is important to really know the laws of the state in which the house resides.
In Texas for example, the answer to the question of whether you can sell a house going through probate is yes. There are specific steps that must be taken in order for the sale to be legitimate.
The property has to be appraised by an independent certified appraiser. Often an experienced realtor in probate sales will be able to recommend one.
For the probate petition it requires some information to be filled in. This applies to both selling a house before probate and selling one during probate. This includes all the details that pertain to the proposed sale. You may also have to outline the method in which the home will be sold. Once completed properly and submitted to the courts you then have to wait for court approval. A sale before this petition will not be considered valid.
This answers the question can you sell a house before probate is granted. It also shows that when it comes to FL like the other states there are specific rules that must be followed.
Potential buyers must be told that a sale can only be finalized after court confirmation.
Buyers will have to obtain confirmation of the sale from the court handling the probate case.
The public must be informed about the sale that has taken place during the probate period. This is done by running an ad about this in the local newspaper.
Individuals who become an executor may find different types of property that needs to be dealt with.
They first have to understand what their role as executor is.
Being an executor doesn't mean this individual inherits any of the property. Sometimes an executor is named by the deceased. At other times may be appointed by the courts.
In most cases probate is needed. If so then the executor or executrix must attend to this either doing it himself or retaining a lawyer to do it.
One of the questions raised by an individual with this responsibility is, "can an executor sell an inherited house before probate?"
It may be that the inheritors of the will want the sale of the house done quickly so they can receive their share of the sale that was allotted to them through the wishes of the will.
Throughout most states the probate rules and regulations are pretty much the same. There are some differences that do exist in some of the states about selling an inherited house before probate.
FL for example, is considered to have easier rules to adhere to when it comes to probating.
In FL, the will can direct the executor to go after independent administration. This makes the process much easier. It gives more freedom to the executor outside of the control of the court. If this is granted the executor does not have to ask permission from the court to sell the house named in the will.
Another option is to sell an inherited house to a cash house buying company. You won't have to worry about any repairs, you save thousands on agent commission costs and you can receive a no-obligation cash offer in just 24 hours.

Long Ago
In the bleak mid-winter
Frosty wind made moan,
Earth stood hard as iron,
Water like a stone;
Snow had fallen, snow on snow,
Snow on snow,
In the bleak mid-winter
Long ago.
Our God, heaven cannot hold Him,
Nor earth sustain;
Heaven and earth shall flee away
When He comes to reign:
In the bleak mid-winter
A stable-place sufficed
The Lord God Almighty,
Jesus Christ.
Enough for Him whom cherubim
Worship night and day,
A breastful of milk
And a mangerful of hay;
Enough for Him whom angels
Fall down before,
The ox and ass and camel
Which adore.
Angels and archangels
May have gathered there,
Cherubim and seraphim
Thronged the air;
But only His mother,
In her maiden bliss,
Worshipped the Beloved
With a kiss.
What can I give Him,
Poor as I am?
If I were a shepherd,
I would bring a lamb;
If I were a wise man,
I would do my part:
Yet what I can I give Him,
Give my heart.

We are so excited to bring you the Release Week Blitz for Jennifer L. Armentrout's, also known as J. Lynn's, FALL WITH ME!! FALL WITH ME is a New Adult Contemporary Romance and is a part of Jennifer L. Armentrout's Wait For You Series, published by Avon Romance. We love this series and can't wait to start reading Roxy and Reece's story!
Amazon ** Barnes and Noble **iBooks ** Kobo
FALL WITH ME Synopsis: Eleven months ago, bartender and weird-shirt-wearing extraordinaire Roxy and Officer Reece Anders had a one night stand. Well, kind of. She's been in love with him since she was fifteen, and he wishes that night they shared never happened. She's sworn him off forever, but the past and future collide, forcing her to rely on the one man who broke her heart not once, but twice. Her best friend since birth has been in a long-term care facility since he became a victim of a hate crime years ago, and the person who put him in there is out of prison and wanting to make amends with him and Roxy. She's not sure she has room for forgiveness in her and when she begins to receive frightening messages and is on the receiving end of escalating violence, she thinks she knows who is to blame. The man who already destroyed one life already. But Reece isn't convinced. The threats are too personal, and even if Roxy doesn't believe him, he's not willing to let anyone hurt her. Including himself. He's already messed up more than once when it comes to Roxy and he's not going to let history repeat itself.
FALL WITH ME Excerpt:
Someone—was it Melvin?—catcalled as Reece led me down the hall, and my cheeks flushed. "Okay, heman, I can walk all by my little self."
He cast a look over his shoulder at me as he opened the office door. "I'm sure you can."
Then he pulled me inside.
My gaze flipped to the roses—the roses!—but before I could say a word, he closed the door and my back was pressed against it, his hands planted on either side of my head and his face right in mine. Like right there, within kissing distance.
"So, I was at my father's place in New Jersey most of the day, and you know, he lives out near the Pine Barrens, so service is shit."
I nodded even though I really wasn't processing what he was saying as I was too busy staring at his mouth. Those lips, fuller on the bottom, drove me to distraction.
"I pull out of his driveway and I have all these messages from Dennis," he continued, and I finally caught on to what he was talking about. "I honestly thought he was messing with me at first."
I cringed. "He . . . um, he wasn't."
He shot me a bland look. "That much I figured out." His hands slid on the door, stopping just shy of touching my shoulders. "What did he do to you?"
"What?" I blinked.
"What did that bastard do to make you throw a book through his windshield?"
Oh. Oh. My heart was now wiggling along with my stomach. "He really didn't do anything. I just lost my cool. He wanted to talk to me, and I didn't want to talk to him."
"You don't have to talk to him."
"That's what Dennis said, but I shouldn't have damaged his car."
A muscle flexed along his right jaw. "That's true." He shook his head. "Damn, Roxy, can't say I'm surprised."
My brows flew up. "You're not?"
He laughed under his breath. "Babe, you've always had a hell of a temper on you."
Ah, that was kind of true. "Is that a good thing or a bad thing?"
Reece cocked his head to the side. "A sexy thing, but vandalism and destruction of property doesn't look good on you, sweets."
"No. It doesn't match my manicure." I raised my hands, flashing him the blue nails.
He laughed again and then he sobered up, just like that. Cop Face was on, and yeah . . . the low coiling in my stomach told me I found Cop Face arousing. "You're lucky. He could've pressed charges, and this conversation would be going in a whole different direction."
My own half smile slipped off my face. "I know. It's . . . I was just with Charlie, and he's . . ." Unable to continue, I forced a casual shrug I didn't feel. "What are you going to do with me?"
His lips parted as his chest rose with a deep breath, then his gaze dropped to my mouth, and his expression tightened. He looked . . . he looked hungry. "I have lots of ideas."

Good morning, I'm Renee Montagne.
For a moment, Chris Reynolds was the world's richest man. The Pennsylvania resident checked his PayPal account, expecting a zero balance. Instead he found a credit of more than $92 quadrillion. That 17-digit figure did revert back to zero when PayPal corrected the glitch. Still, a guy can dream. As to how he would have spent the money, Reynolds said: Payoff the national debt, then maybe buy the Phillies.

Chances are, you are already ruining your potential to succeed in the music industry because you believe in one or more music career myths. How do I know? I am sent e-mail messages on a constant basis by tons of musicians (all seeking the answers to the WRONG questions). These are questions that may seem like good questions on the top level, but are really highly damaging questions that take them far away from their musical dreams.
To put together a successful career in music as soon as possible, you've got to know the questions you do NOT need to be seeking answers to, and understand how to ask much higher quality questions that will put you on the right track toward reaching your music industry goals.
These are the 4 worst music career questions you should avoid asking in order to build a successful career as a professional musician:
Bad Music Career Question #1: Do I Have To Become A 'Starving Artist'?
A lot of people believe that making a living as a professional musician means one of two things: Either you 'make it' and go on to tour the world and sell millions of albums or you 'become a starving artist' and have to play at crappy bars and street corners just to get by. This music business myth makes sabotages people's careers from the start, either by making them believe they need to get full time jobs unrelated to music and 'try to do music on the side', or be afraid of trying to enter the music business.
Fact is, the music business is made up of a large middle class and there are countless ways to earn a living. You'd be surprised at how easy it is to make a good living in the music industry versus becoming successful in an outside field. However, before you will make a lot of money, you must stop asking low quality questions. Stop worrying about becoming a starving artist and start envisioning all the different ways you can make money as a musician.
As you work in the music business, you are not forced to live from one paycheck to the next like in a normal day job. Instead, it's always possible to be earning multiple sources of income at the same time. This makes becoming a professional musician a much more stable career choice since you don't have to be dependent on just ONE source of income. In addition to the obvious ways that musicians seek to make money in music (selling albums/downloads, playing live shows or recording as a session musician), there is one thing you can do right now that will quickly boost your music related income:
Start growing a music teaching business. This will immediately produce multiple sources of income (your students) for you while you work much less than full time hours each week.
When you build many sources of musical income as discussed above, it's very possible (and not as hard as you might think) to annually earn more than $100k in your music career (I know this, because I've helped many musicians to do it).
Bad Music Career Question #2: How Do I Get A Recording Contract?
In order to understand why this is not a good questions to ask, answer this: "Why should someone give YOU a recording contract?" If you think it's because you write good music… try again. This is never a good enough reason for someone to sign you to a recording contract. No one is going to invest many thousands of dollars into you just because you can write good music. This would be WAY too risky of an investment (so much so that it doesn't even make sense). Imagine that you saved up $200,000, would you then go to a casino and put it all on the line for one spin of the roulette? OR would you instead invest it into someone who has proven that they can help you earn even more (at least at a smaller level)? No doubt, you would make the wise choice and invest it into someone who would help you make more money. This is how recording labels think. So stop wondering about how you can get signed to a recording contract and start turning yourself into a 'wise investment' that any label would immediately see as valuable. This requires much more than writing great music, playing your instrument well or having a Facebook page.
Here are the actions you should be taking to make yourself into a valuable investment for a record company:
1. Understand what the music industry is looking for in musicians before they begin working with them.
2. Work every day to build your music career. Record companies want to see that you have a good track record before they will begin working with you. The more things you do as an independent musician, the more likely it is that you will gain the interest of a record company.
3. Get music industry training from a successful mentor who has already accomplished big things in the music industry and helped others get signed to recording contracts.
Once you begin developing your music career on your own, you will make yourself like a beacon of light and record companies will come searching for YOU!
Bad Music Career Question #3: How Can I Get My Music 'Heard' By More People?
The majority of musicians want to get their music heard by as many people as possible, believing that this will help them earn money and become successful pro musicians.

Bad Music Career Question #4: What Is The Best Music City To Move To?
Many musicians think they will be much more likely to succeed in the music industry by moving to a 'music city'. Then with this belief in mind, they pack up their things and move, believing that opportunities will simply 'fall into their lap' once they arrive. Once they have been in their new location for a while and nothing has changed, they blame it on the city and look for a new location to move to (while being completely unaware of the TRUE reasons why they aren't successful).

This applies particularly today when it is easier than ever for someone to get a recording contract, put out music, organize world tours or work as a session musician regardless of where they live. Highly successful musicians do not become that way because they lived in one area rather than another. If that were true, there would be zero successful musicians living in cities that are not known for big music scenes. The principles that lead to developing a successful music career apply exactly the same regardless of where you live.

Start working together with a music business mentor to put together an effective strategy for reaching your musical goals.
Work each day to get closer to achieving your goals until you reach them.
When you focus on what is most important (using the process above), you will achieve success in your music career much faster.
