A new free music download site is making waves and creating headlines. Backed by Peter Gabriel, We7 is “is set to create a new free music downloads community. And, if you love music downloads, you can be part of it for free!”
Supported by 10 seconds of advertising, your free download is also DRM free too and the musicians still get paid.
They’re signing acts too.
From Donald’s recent post entitled Find the Greatness within Yourself:
“There is an old riddle that brings this to light: Five frogs were
sitting on a log. Four decided to jump off. How many were left? Answer:
Five. Why? Because there’s a difference between deciding and doing.
Think about that one for awhile and see if it pertains to you. If it
does, there’s still time to get going and start making great things
happen.”
I like Donald Trump simply because he exemplifies the type of person I hope you are: passionate. And don’t be fooled like most people into thinking “doesn’t Donald have enough?” and “why does he need more money?”
It’s not about the money!
Donald Trump is a businessman. And businessmen, at least PASSIONATE businessmen, build businesses and do deals. Asking him to stop is like asking a duck to stop swimming.
Or perhaps it’s like asking you to give up music. Or is it?
