Do You Have An Effective Backup Plan That Will Lead You Into A Successful Music Career?

How effective is your path to achieving financial security in your music career? Even if your situation is "safe and secure", does it allow you the freedom and flexibility to pursue your goals as a professional musician? These are important questions you need to answer in order to make your music career plans more likely to succeed. Test yourself by completing the short assessment below.

I constantly strive to learn about the music business in order to prepare myself for a career as a professional musician: *

Yes, I soak up the knowledge from all available sources about the music industry

Yes, but I only listen to those who are successful and have successfully done what I want to do

No, because I don’t know where to look for good advice on how the music business works.

When taking music career advice from other people, I welcome advice from as many people/sources as possible, in order to be better informed. *

Yes

My music career strategy is centered on my: *

Desire to succeed

Desire not to fail

Musical skills and actions I must take in my music career.

Trying to be at the right place at the right time

In order to increase my likelihood of creating a successful music career: *

I have a secure non-music related job that I can rely on, in case my music career doesn’t work out.

I go (or went) to college to obtain a music degree, because I was told that it is necessary to have one in order to have a music career

I go (or went) to college to obtain a degree in a non-music related field that I can always be sure to find a job in, in case my music career doesn’t work out

I have diverse strategies and plans to increase my security

I have a backup plan for my music career (a plan I will implement in order to support my developing music career if necessary): *

No, I don’t have a backup plan and I don’t need one

Yes, I have a backup plan, and it is very safe and secure, so that I don’t have to worry about what to do if I can’t make any money as a musician

Yes, I have a backup plan, and it is aligned perfectly with my actual goal of a music career

I don’t understand what a “backup plan” is, and I’m not sure if I need one or not

When I come across (or create) opportunities related to my music career, my current job/situation: *

Forces me to pass them up because I do not have the flexibility of time to pursue them

Gives me flexibility of time to take advantage of all opportunities related to my music career goal

I don’t understand what is meant by “flexibility of time”

I will be able to seamlessly transition from my current job/situation into a full time music career, using a well thought out exit strategy. *

I don’t understand what is meant by having an “exit strategy”

No, I don’t have an exit strategy, but want to find one!

Yes, I have a well planned out exit strategy and will be using it very soon to make the transition to become a full time musician

Yes, I have thought about an exit strategy, but it is not as planned out as I would like it to be, and I need help in making it more secure.

The skills that I acquired from my support strategies (backup plans): *

Are totally unrelated to my music career, but will help me to get a secure job if my music career plans don’t work out

Can be used to make my music career stronger and more successful

I don’t understand what this question means, but want to learn more

The time that I spend acquiring skills (or working) on my backup plan for my music career: *

Is well invested, because now I know I can support myself in a secure non-music related job if I fail as a musician

Takes far too much time and energy to allow me to focus fully on my music career

Does NOT take away valuable time and energy to invest into my music career

I don’t understand fully what a “backup plan” is
