Wayne Gretzky’s Wisdom Hit Me Harder Than a High Note
Wayne Gretzky taught me 3 things,
that changed my approach to my singing career
I met Hockey Legend
WAYNE GRETZKY at a major event I performed for, in West Palm Beach, Florida in 2023.
He was one of the headline speakers, and had alot of wisdom to share about career longevity, which I really considered for my own career:
- "You miss 100% of the shots you don’t take."
I used to overthink every opportunity, but I realized that if I don’t
put myself out there, I’ll never grow. Now, I take the shot—whether
it’s auditions, performances, or releasing music.
2. Skate to where the puck is going.
Gretzky didn’t just react; he anticipated. I’ve learned to do the
same in music—staying ahead of trends, evolving my sound, and carving my
own path instead of just following what’s popular.
3. Talent means nothing without hard work.
Natural ability can only take you so far. The real game-changer? Consistency. Practicing, learning, and showing up every day is what truly creates success.
These lessons have helped me grow—maybe they’ll help you too.
