Kick Butt Tip: Tabitha Brown ‘Always Have A Good Day’ and Don’t Mess Up Anyone Else’s

Today’s Kick Butt Tip of the Day comes from actress, Emmy winning host, social media personality, entrepreneur and author Tabitha Brown, "I always say, have a good day and if you can't, don't you dare go messing up nobody else's." 

For those that came from a sports background, practice is the key.  You show up, you get dressed, you do the drills and you run the plays.  Players and coaches then run the plays over and over and over and over.  At some point, the plays almost run themselves.

The same is true when it comes to thought processes.  To change the way you think is a process.  You make a decision and then you repeat that decision every day.  In addition to repeating the goal, I would recommend to write it down and place it where you can see it often.

Now, don’t expect instant success.  Experts say that it takes 21 days to create a new habit. Your brain needs time to absorb your new way of thinking.

If I may add a couple of points please, when you decide that you are finally going to get your act together, as I said earlier, consider writing your goals down. For many, making this list is somewhat uncomfortable. I find that when I write things down, I stay focused. Then, when I complete the goal or task, I check it off as completed. That gives me an instant feeling of accomplishment and satisfaction.

Go get 'em tiger! God don't make no junk. You, yes you are awesome! Now go be awesome!

Have you bought tickets to a concert and looked at the opening artist and did not know who it is? So, you decide that it is okay if you are a little late to the show because you have time before the headliner comes on stage. If that is how you approach a concert you are doing it all wrong. Let me break it down for you and let you see why you should be there to see an opening artist at these concerts.

Opening artists are trying to get their names out as well as their music. If you think about most major artists that headline their own tours were opening artist at one point. Everyone must start somewhere and that is all they are doing.  Concerts are a great time and what could be better than finding new music you enjoy? If you show up for an opening artist, they might just blow your socks off. I have had this experience with a couple of the artists below. You never know which artist will be the next Morgan Wallen, Luke Bryan, or Cody Johnson. How cool would it be to say you have been there from the very beginning instead of hopping on the bandwagon when they blow up?

These 10 artists below are some opening artists that are truly incredible. It is worth the time to sit down and listen to a couple of their songs. If you get a chance to see them live I would because they all, put on a great show! I believe that these artists truly love what they do and are not just doing it for themselves but also for us. They enjoy sharing their life experiences to give us something to relate to and to let us know that their fans are not alone.

Josh Ross came out as an independent artist in 2019 and has worked his way up quickly. He has blown up on streaming platforms with songs Trouble and Ain’t Doin’ Jack. He is currently opening for Bailey Zimmerman.

Caylee Hammack has an amazing sound and the way I would describe it would be old school with a modern twist. She has done collaborations with Christ Stapleton and Ashley McBryde. She is currently on tour with Brothers Osborne.

Corey Kent came to us as an artist in 2020 but did not get signed until 2022 with Sony Music Nashville. This all occurred after he released Wild As Her and it blew up. He is currently on tour with Parker McCollum.

The Red Clay Strays look they came straight out of an 80s movie. They have a unique sound that moves you. They have started to make some noise on social media platforms and are grabbing the attention of more and more people.

Ashley Cooke is such a sweet soul and passion for what she does. She first came to light during the Covid Pandemic and released a song with Brett Young called Never Til Now. She is currently touring with Jordan Davis.

Ella Langley probably sounds very familiar seeing how she and Riley Green just dropped a new song together. Not to mention she was on a killer duet with Kameron Marlowe called Strangers. She is currently touring with Hardy.

If you have a love for 90s country with a side of Honky-tonk then Zach Top is the man for you. He is only 25 years old but sounds like he has been performing since the 90s. He is currently touring with Lainey Wilson.

Tucker Wetmore is very new but has gotten attention on social media platforms. I cannot wait to see where his career takes him. He is currently on tour with Luke Bryan.

Lily Rose comes from Atlanta, Georgia and is one of the newer artist that can border pop. Her big hit Villian is very relatable to a lot of people. She is currently on tour with Cole Swindell.

Redferrin has a look that is not what people would call traditional and his music reflects him. He a true country boy and he uses his roots for inspiration for his songs. He is currently touring with Billy Currington.
