I can’t imagine living without safety nets.
One of the traits I often envy in other entrepreneurs is the ability to throw all the chips on the table without a safety net.
While I would love to be more like that, unless I have an idea that’s a proven concept or doesn’t require a big financial or time investment, I have a tendency to gingerly approach the path and slowly increase my wager as I see positive results. While that has worked for me, there’s something really admirable about people who go all in, risking everything, with a “do-or-die” mentality.
I’ve seen that philosophy produce both skyrocketing and unimaginable successes, as well as nosediving falls. But I believe despite the fears and bruises, the rewards are often sweeter.
Safety nets have a very important role in navigating one’s career path. They allow you to step out on the edge, take some chances, with the comfort of knowing you won’t lose it all if it goes south. But something I’ve realized lately is that while a net can save your ass from falling and hitting the ground, sometimes it can actually be causing more harm than good, despite your best intentions.
Do you have a safety net in your life that is keeping you from flying?
We’ve probably all learned many lessons about having safety nets during this pandemic. When I first started out in my career, I recall the goal of having an emergency fund of 4-6 weeks to cover personal expenses was pretty standard practice. Looking back, it seems rather inadequate as a standard measure, even for back then. These days, financial gurus such as Suze Orman often tout a minimum eight-month emergency fund claiming it can take that long to find a new job. While she may not have ever mentioned it being needed in a pandemic, the logic is the same and during these past 10 months, many have had to deplete their emergency funds.
But not all safety nets are financial.
I actually started my career as a safety net of sorts. When I decided to major in accounting with plans on becoming a C.P.A., I wanted something that would be a safe bet in finding employment. Deep down, I always wanted to own my own business, but I have a natural aversion to risk. Before I started college, I knew every company in existence needed accountants. Those seemed like pretty good odds to me.
I figured I could always learn other aspects of a business through experience so getting my C.P.A. was the safety net I wanted. Fast forward 15 years later, my employer at the time, Arista Records, merged with another label, and I received the proverbial pink slip. I was shocked to find out that afterwards, my phone didn’t continuously ring with new career opportunities. I expected my safety net to save me, but it didn’t. I enjoyed working in many aspects of finance and I was good at it. I’m grateful for the experience and how my career path led me to where I am today, but that net didn’t keep me from getting bruised. It didn’t keep me from having a few really lean years. It didn’t give me security. And in the end, I realized it wasn’t a net after all.
Other safety nets can appear as ‘mental nets’ or attitudes. Those can keep you from taking action or make you act in ways you shouldn’t. And perhaps the worst part is they can get intertwined with the most harmful enemy of anyone wanting success… fear. Unlike fear, they have a very beneficial-looking appearance but are really nothing more than piles of junk getting in your way of success, all while being fully cloaked in something that appears to be for protection.
Have you ever noticed how our junk in our homes starts to really stand out when you are having guests coming over? You can have clutter sitting around in a room and over time, it blends in and you no longer even notice it. But then you have a visitor planning to come over, and all of that same clutter now appears to have a spotlight shining right on top of it, creating an urgency to get it cleaned up before your guests arrive. And similar to that untidiness, it’s important to periodically look around and take inventory of any safety nets that have also become clutter.
The first step is to figure out what safety nets are, indeed, working for you and serving an important purpose. Protect those and reinforce them. But perhaps even more importantly, determine which ones that aren’t safety nets at all. You’ll start to notice nets that have been in your life so long you no longer even remember they are there. It can be quite exhilarating when you start recognizing those that are standing in your way of reaching your potential and you cut them loose.
Once you identify a safety net that isn’t providing you with any safety, how do you let them go?
I admit it’s hard to let them go.
I often cling to them with white-knuckled fists. One of the nets I’m loosening my grip on right now is having everything at the magazine go through my final review. I’ve realized that I made my “review” my own self-appointed safety net at MusicRow. But even though our team members excel with their strengths, I still felt the need to have everything pass across my plate. I thought I needed that safety net in place. But that kind of net easily becomes a dam with productivity getting tangled in the lines, preventing progress from moving forward. It impedes success, rather than produces it.
Have you ever seen a tightrope walker at a circus slowly walking across a thin wire high above the net? Or perhaps trapeze artists spinning, swinging and flying through the air? What happens when all of a sudden the safety net is removed and the crowd exalts a collective gasp? Do they fall? Do they fail? No, they do not. That’s when they soar. That when they succeed at death-defying acts. In other words, that’s when the shit gets really good.
One of my favorite people to learn from is Steve Harvey. He’s a comedian, an author, a host, a presenter, a broadcaster, a businessman, a life coach, an ambassador and so much more. His accomplishments would fill up a book and he’s a masterful teacher. One of the most inspiring messages he’s given was an impromptu video as he was getting in his car one day and driving off. It’s a message I listen to repeatedly and try to remember often. He said, “If you want to be successful, here’s the thing you have to do. You have to jump. There is no way around it. Every successful person has jumped. You’ve got to take a leap of faith. You’ve got to dash off that cliff and you’ve got to jump out there as far as you can.”
In other words, get rid of that false safety net, often tangled up in fear, that’s holding you back.
Harvey goes on to say, “A lot of times you stand on the cliff of life and you see other people soaring by. And you know why? Because their parachute opened. But the only way you can get your parachute to open so you can soar is you’ve got to jump. And If you do not jump, I promise you one thing. Your parachute will never open. You’re safe, but you will never soar.”
Here’s to all of us soaring… and losing the net.

Pat Barrett Readies Sophomore Album For February
/by Lorie HollabaughPat Barrett is set to release his sophomore album, Act Justly, Love Mercy, Walk Humbly, on Feb. 26 on Bowyer & Bow/Capitol Christian Music Group.
The new album features 17 tracks, including four songs released in 2020 (“Canvas and Clay,” “Lightning (ft. Harolddd),” “No Weapon,” and “Heavenly”). It was recorded over the span of two years and highlights Barrett as a worship leader as well as an artist/songwriter and features guest artists such as Chris Tomlin on “As For Me” and Harolddd on “Lightning.”
Accompanying the studio project will be specially-recorded live videos released over the next few months with appearances including Tomlin, Mack Brock, Jon Reddick and Franni Rae Cash of We The Kingdom. The pre-order for the new album is available now, along with the title track and lyric video.
“I made a promise to myself years ago to only share songs that have helped me in some way,” said Barrett. “For this album, I have tried to stay true to that promise. Act Justly, Love Mercy, Walk humbly…Act, love, walk….for me, these have been the songs that touch every area of my life. The songs that have helped ‘make sense’ of things, and also the songs that have helped set the table of communion when not much has made sense at all. Some songs are about matters of the heart and some songs are matter of fact about how things aren’t the way they should be. It felt important to include both. In a lot of ways I see this collection as an invitation to abide in God, but also an invitation to change. The type of change that happens when you audit your soul and don’t like what you find. These are the songs I’ve sung at the top of my lungs on Sunday and under my breath on Monday. Songs about faith, hope, love, marriage, kids, questions, regret, moving on…and for me, all of it worship. So I’ve decided to keep all of it on this project.”
Off The Record: Is It Time To Cut The Net?

Americana Meets Eastern Europe On David Olney’s Final Album
/by Lorie HollabaughDavid Olney, Anana Kaye, Irakli Gabriel
A new project, Whispers and Sighs, the final studio album by the late David Olney, beloved folk songwriter’s songwriter, in collaboration with Anana Kaye, a young Eastern European powerhouse, is set for release on March 26 on Schoolkids Records.
On Whispers and Sighs, the pair create a unique, sonic landscape that blends the haunting sensuality of European music with the intimacy of Americana, weaving raw rock anthems like “Lie to Me, Angel” and “Last Days of Rome” with sparse, introspective ballads such as “Tennessee Moon” and the record’s title track. All of the songs were written by the trio of Olney, Kaye, and Kaye’s husband and musical partner Irakli Gabriel, with a few co-written by longtime Olney collaborator and songwriter John Hadley.
The project features an impressive array of Nashville musicians and vocalists including Olney’s long-time musical collaborator Daniel Seymour, and bassist Chris Donohue, who has worked with such artists as Emmylou Harris, Robert Plant, and Elvis Costello.
Regarded as one of the finest songwriters in Music City, Olney tragically passed on stage during a performance in early 2020.
