How To Become Successful In The Music Business
Ever wonder what it takes to get into the music business and turn it into your main source of income? Everyone wants to know how to:
-
Become a household name
-
Quit your crappy job and do music full-time
-
Get bigger gigs
-
Join big name bands
- Never have to worry about money again
Everyone wants to know these things, but few people want to know what thoughts, beliefs and actions hold you back from becoming the right person to do them!
Without this level of understanding, it becomes incredibly difficult to make it in this business.
Here are five things to avoid in order to make building a music career easier:
1. Don't take music career advice from those who are not already experts or can offer proof that they have made it themselves.
2.Dont believe that working in the music business is unstable. It’s actually very stable when you know how to do it.
3. Don't go to university for a degree in music unless it is 100% necessary for your personal musical goals.
4. Don't overlook the importance of growing a local following in addition to growing a fanbase online.
5. Don't rely on trial-and-error to guide your music career.
Building a music career all on your own is the biggest way to add risk and uncertainty into your life. The better solution is to work together with a music career mentor.
Why?
This gives you the expert experience, training and advice of someone who has already achieved everything you wanted to in this industry. Having this tool gives you the power to do what you want in your career without all the frustration and hard lessons.
Plus:
Working together with a mentor helps you understand exactly what you need to do, say and have to become the right person in music for the biggest opportunities. This keeps you motivated every step of the way until you finally realize your dreams.
