We are not interested in playing a game we cannot win. We are a practical, if idealistic bunch. As an example of our practical approach to saving the world, the following is an excerpt from an article by our co- founder, Robert Hawkins. It’s called “Good Guys Land On Top”. "Public Relations is good deeds well publicized, and the best way to do the most good deeds is to put the most (in terms of time and money) into creating good deeds and directing maximum public attention to your good deeds. The good news is that doing the maximum good – and telling the world about it – also creates the maximum profit. "We have spent a good deal of time consulting MD’s, dentists, accountants and other businesses on enhancing their PR. We simply got them, while continuing business as usual, to put time, money, and genuine, caring attention into helping their communities – and publishing what they did. This generally resulted in the client doubling or even tripling his income in the first year. "It’s funny, but the greater your good deeds, and the more openly they are publicized, the greater your profit. The greater your profit, the greater your ability to do good deeds. Moreover, the more openly your profitability is publicized along with your good deeds, the more people will flock to your products, thus making you more able to do more good deeds and increasing your wealth exponentially. "Everyone has a community they are associated with that they can help if they are willing to put in a little effort. If they want to do well financially and increase their ability to do good deeds for their community, they will see to it that a broad public knows of their good deeds. And by the way, this doesn’t increase the advertising budget in the least." As we said earlier, we are musicians, performers, songwriters, who want to make our world safer, more comfortable, more livable. We also want to help other music artists around the world be more comfortable and prosperous, and we have the expertise and the worldwide connections to do so. Our Founders TrueNica Music was originally started by Rhonda LaRoy. Robert Hawkins quickly joined her. To find out more about Rhonda, click here. Robert Hawkins is an experienced executive and business consultant. He has consulted professionally and delivered seminars in the areas of business administration, ethics, organizational establishment, promotion and marketing, public relations, real estate, and the finding and programming of personal and company goals and purposes, since 1994. In addition to his administrative and management skills, he is a virtuoso saxophonist and flutist and a top level composer, arranger, orchestrator and producer, a graphic artist, storyteller, and a master chef. Like Rhonda, Robert started performing at the age of five, and started gigging around East Texas while still in high school. After high school he joined the United States Air Force, where he was with the 761st USAF Band. When his military hitch was over, he attended the University of North Texas, majoring in music composition. After college, Robert made his living as a jazz musician before moving to Los Angeles to work in the studios as a saxophonist/flutist, arranger, orchestrator and producer. Realizing that while his musical skills enabled him to make an excellent living on a day to day basis, they in no way prepared him for the long term in the music business or any other business, Robert became interested in management. He was lucky enough to secure a job with business and financial genius, David Royal. Working under the tutelage of this brilliant man, Robert became thoroughly hooked on business. Having spent most of his life believing what most artists of his acquaintance believed, i.e., that all successful businessmen were basically criminals, Mr. Royal’s example allowed him to see that the most successful business people are also the most honest and ethical. What a concept! Since then, Robert Hawkins has divided his time between business and his life as an artist, making him an ideal executive for TrueNica Music. Robert was Rhonda LaRoy’s original arranger and producer, catapulting her career in Europe. Along with her, he founded and ran Apollo School of Music, in Washington, DC. He is also the author of Basic Course in Music and Creative Genius, a course which takes an interested person from having no technical knowledge of music to the ability to compose major orchestral pieces, in a matter of a few months. Basic Course in Music and Creative Genius, including over a hundred musical references, will be available as a series of eBooks in 2008. |
