The Road to Mastery

My very first thoughts when going into my mastery program at Full Sail University.  Wasn’t what I would of expected myself to think if you would of asked me 10 years ago where I would see myself today.  Today I see myself as a very accomplish person.  I’ve completed a grueling six years in the United States Air Force.  I have recently completed my Bachelors degree in Recording Arts from Full Sail University and before I even graduated I was starting my Masters in Entertainment Business.

So my intentions started out way before I left the military. A good friend of mine, who also attends Full Sail University, shares the same dream as I. Together we dream that one-day he and I will own and operate our own studio, work with students and local bands, and eventually expand, taking advantage of more opportunities.

My military career ended with that dream, one huge chapter of my life was over.  The transition from solider to civilian was a scary path, it is almost as if everything is brand new.  But with my head held high and with my new found freedoms I ventured back to my home in good old Florida.  It was there that my journey to mastery started. I was home for a couple of months and during that time I was starting my Bachelors degree.  I already knew that I was going to get a Bachelors and Masters degree from Full Sail University, both with the help of my GI bill.

So here I am now, starting my graduates’ degree.  Two years have past by and I’ve accomplished my first goal towards reaching my dream. Although my intentions have been slightly altered, the dream lives on.  Over the next year I hope to accomplish many things.  I want to have a greater understanding of my chosen career field and become a business owner. In order to accomplish this, I need to have something the consumers’ want, and that is where my bachelor degree comes in; this is the first half of my dream.  My mastery intentions are to become a successful business owner, even if it’s just me running the company or I utilize a business partner, I want to know that my first intention was a good one.
