SEASON 3 | EPISODE 55 | 9 JANUARY 2023

The best is yet to come; Using intentions to create a better life

In this first episode of 2023 I share with you why I chose to set intentions rather than ‘New Years Resolutions’ or big goals.

I also decided to have monthly theme songs and share how these are connected to my intentions, plus I share some ideas how you can use intentions for yourself. I give you an example of my January theme song, which I hope explains what I try to achieve through this process a little more.

Plus, why I did not do a ‘2022 in review’ episode and why that was a blessing in disguise as it allowed me to realise a few things that I needed to move forward.

A BIT ABOUT

BILLY COLE

At the age of 17 I went to The University of New York at Morrisville where I studied musical Instrument repair. With diploma in hand, I applied for work but found that no music store wanted to hire me. So, I opened my own shop “Cole’s Woodwind and Brass” Soon after I married my high school sweetheart Mary Alice. through many serendipitous twists and turns, we raised our family with our little music shop. Today, after 45 years of working on horns, I reflect back with great appreciation for a life that has given so much. In an effort to give back I travelled to the impoverished nation of Haiti in 2016 to teach instrument repair. After returning several times, I founded Horns for Haiti Inc. in 2020, an organization that teaches band instrument repair and how to start your own music business. To date, we’ve trained dozens of musicians and music teachers how to repair and started two businesses. Billy Shop D’Haiti, Musical Instrument Repair and the Haitian Music Supply Company.
