Letter just in from a past client! Sept 2011 - Hi Gilli, how are you?  Just wanted to send a quick note to say hi.  My husband and I were talking the other night about my music biz achievements the last few years and I started talking about how helpful your coaching sessions were to me.  You really guided me through the whole CD release thing, gave me inspiration and courage.  I appreciate it so much!  Hope all is well!  Looks like you are busy as always and doing great which is wonderful. - Juliet

Gilli Moon lives by her word, “Just Get Out There”.  I’ve been a coaching client of Gilli’s as well as attended workshops, and read her book “Just Get Out There”.  Her story is one of Just Getting Out There.  Throughout her Artist career she has collected and developed resources which she freely shares with private clients, in workshops, and through Songsalive!.  These have all been phenomenal resources to develop my business foundation and create a business and marketing plan to grow it. She has a unique ability to listen and be able to hone in on where she can direct me to resources she has available. She is a wealth of information and literally has everything at her fingertips (a few key strokes away).  Every thing she coaches is documented in chapters of her book “Just Get Out There”, her blog, articles, Songsalive! website, and internet partners. She uses guided discovery as a coaching technique, which is beneficial allowing me to adapt and craft the techniques that are best suited for my nature.  Gilli has been a great support. I consider myself an entrepreneur working for myself and by myself, I think of her as my supervisor that I can go to for questions and feedback, which makes the task less overwhelming.  Gilli is a master at Time Management. One particular tool that has helped me, is working out a weekly schedule that has kept me on track and given me a visual guide to accomplish small steps towards bigger goals. She is a no-nonsense, hard working coach, who lives by her word and has proven her techniques successful. She is inspirational not only with how she has created and modeled her entrepreneurial business but also how she generously shares her information with others.

I have been very fortunate to meet Gilli Moon.  She has helped me in numerous ways to get focused, and start doing the activities that will help me achieve my musical goals.  Her plan is a simple no-nonsense step by step approach for those wanting to do the "indie artist walk", at any level.  I highly recommend her book, "Just Get Out There" for anyone, at any age, from the freshman to the seasoned road dog.  Full of insight and honest perspective from someone who lives what she preaches.  I would also recommend Gilli as an artist coach, she is an awesome warrior and has really shown me how to keep my feet to the fire, and just get out there!  Thank you Gilli!

Gilli was a fantastic facilitator and helped us see that the answer to who we were as artists was already within us. Through the teleworkshop sessions and the "homework" in between sessions, we were given an opportunity to grow at a good clip.  Gilli made sure each  participant received equal attention and time, helped us each refine our vision for what we wanted out of our art, and gave us each a practical plan for continuing our work after the sessions were completed. Meeting other like-minded musicians was also tremendously fun and inspiring!  I can't say enough good things about this workshop!

Working with Gilli was a gift I gave to myself.  I was completely overwhelmed with running my own business, and pretty unorganized when I first started working with her.  I didn't know where I was going or even what I wanted, so I felt stuck.  Gilli helped me to organize my thoughts, goals and direction, and to find out what my truth was... what was success to me?  I was my biggest road block.  Gilli genuinely cares about me and about helping me follow my dreams; I'm sure she's the same way with all of her clients.  Her energy, honesty, passion and heart are an inspiration to me.  She inspires me to be my best, and to give myself the best; the chance to follow my dreams.  I'm truly grateful for her support and guidance in my life.

When I met Gilli, the first thing that impressed me was her upbeat energy and a wonderful sense of grounded optimism. During our work together, she consistently helped me believe in my dreams while, at the same time, helped me focus on practical steps for realizing those dreams. Gilli is a terrific role model as she “practices what she preaches” providing inspiration and a sense that the imaginable is possible. Over our time working together, I went from just thinking about what I’d like to do with my music to actually doing it! I would recommend Gilli to anyone wishing to advance a career in the arts...she is a rare gem!

When I was done with my debut CD album, I was lost and I needed someone to help me. I needed a professional mentor who knows all facets of the music industry, the ins and outs, someone who would understand and someone who has the passion of music. Then, I found Gilli Moon. Gilli guided me to the right path. Her encouragement, support and skills had helped me through my music career. She is professional, knowledgeable, passionate and full of blissfully positive energy. She had helped me tremendously with my artistry and music, how to set goals, how to manage time, how to express creativity through music, and showed me how to be a professional artist. Gilli is an inspiration and the best coach I've ever met. I highly recommend Gilli Moon. She too can help mentor you and make the best that you can be – a creative, talented independent artist.

Gilli Moon helps you to develop a practical and comprehensive logistical plan to marketing your music.  However her real power lies in delving into your attitudes, belief systems and ultimate dreams in life which will ultimately decide the success or failure of your efforts.  While I am often overwhelmed by the obstacles of this business, each coaching session with Gilli renews my positive attitude and empowers me to continue to move forward.  While many times I begin my coaching session feeling lost, Gilli makes it possible for me to find my sense of purpose again and feel the joy in the process of making and marketing my music. She provides an invaluable service to the independent artist.  She understands the process, the challenges, and the attitudes one must have in order to thrive in this pursuit. She is a great sounding board and guide!

Gilli is the consummate artist’s coach. An artist herself, she understands the creative life and what it takes. But more than just an artist, Gilli is skilled at coaching other artists to help realize their vision. Gilli’s sessions are tailored to what you want to accomplish, and she has developed tools that help you focus and keep you on track while recognizing your accomplishments. Working with Gilli over the course of six months I created a solid plan for releasing an EP of my songs, and I started performing again, after a two-year hiatus. Not only did I accomplish what I set out to accomplish, I feel I developed a genuine friendship in the process. I highly recommend Warrior Coaching with Gilli Moon.

When I first started having mentoring sessions on Skype with Gilli, I was a songwriter/composer with songs and music but no ideas on what to do with them. I knew I had to do something so I kept myself busy 'doing' things that lead to nowhere as I had no goal or plan in place. Gilli helped me to define my goals and showed me how to develop them to devise a business plan that enabled me to start down the road to making my goals and dreams a 'do-able' reality. When you have a mentoring session with Gilli, you feel positive, motivated and empowered. You want to put your plan into action and feel proud to take responsibility for all work that you do to put it into motion and keep it going. As a mentor, she is non-judgmental, professional and friendly - a real gem. I would encourage everyone to take the step and let Gilli show you how to get busy in the right way so you too can have your own 'do-able' reality. Mary HG

Coaching with Gilli is awesome.  She has given me a lot of great ideas, encouragement, a plan of action, and best of all - accountability.  She has taught me a lot about the biz, and gives me "homework" to be completed by the next session, which makes me responsible for getting the work done.  She is helping me stay focused on achieving my goals, and her support and positive energy keep me fueled.  I highly recommend Warrior Coaching.

I needed something, or someone that could help me build my vision, carve out my path, and set forth in achieving my goals and dreams in a clear and directed way. Gilli is that person.

Gilli is an excellent sounding board. Has many great business/planning/ music ideas, which she freely shares, based on her innate creativity & experience. She's a great source to utilize to get some movement & fresh ideas. I recommend her highly.

In the few months that I have been working with Gilli as my coach, I have become more involved in the music community. I also feel blessed to be surrounded by such warm, supportive and friendly people which I have met by becoming involved with Songsalive! and by being under Gilli's tutelage. Gilli gives action steps at every coaching session which have helped me organize myself and fine-tune my goals so that we can move forward with a business plan. If I were to summarize what working with Gilli is like in one word, it's "motivating." I want to mobilize myself and my business and creative steps when I leave each session, and I feel clearer about my next direction. It has been a very positive experience working with her.

Working with Gilli has helped me to clarify my goals, and to take practical steps toward achieving them. She is knowledgeable, upbeat and energetic, and she is dedicated to helping artists navigate through today's music industry.

 I have had the pleasure of working with gilli moon in an Artist Coaching capacity for a few months now. I imagine I present to her a rather challenging client, as my creative persona spreads across several musical genres and decades. I have found our conversations to be not only energizing and inspiring but truly enlightening, clarifying numerous aspects of an ever-morphing ‘Music Biz’ which is baffling at best and at worst can be terminally daunting. In what I call the ‘quickest hour of my month’ gilli shares with authenticity, intelligence, savvy, and sensitivity her empowering perspectives with a fearless, upbeat style, never shying away from holding one to their own accountability. gilli challenges us to each explore our own Inner Warrior and the outer frontiers of our own possibility, where we then discover that yes…our own self-directed success is and has been something we actually do deserve.

I've always been really driven in my goals, but sometimes everything I need to do gets really overwhelming. Working with Gilli has helped me tremendously with time management and prioritizing my goals. She personalizes her sessions to discuss what I'm currently focused on, and is filled with information. She also shares my enthusiasm for what I wish to accomplish, making it clear that she genuinely cares about what I'm doing. If you're looking to further your career, Gilli is a great mentor who can give you that little push and guidance you need to tackle your objectives.
