Here's how to make the right decisions that successful musicians make (and you should make too):
 

1. Forget About Being A Perfectionist With Your Musical Skills


Doing alternatively means you throw away a great deal of time attempting to achieve greatness with just a single aspect of music career success.

Then you never feel totally satisfied with it and overlook doing all the other things needed to succeed in music.

Try This: Invest a bit of time on all areas in your career it (as shown in the video) and develop in all of them every single week, to ensure that small improvements add up to massive results as time goes on.

This guarantees that you are constantly pushing closer to your greatest goals and not allowing some aspects of your career to hold you back.

Keep in mind:

Spending too much time focusing on your musical abilities is simply one of numerous blunders that damage your odds for achieving success in this industry.
