Why many good musicians have a hard time starting their musical career

If you’re like most people who want a music career as a professional musician, the first question is probably this “because I don’t know what to do for me?” Ask. And obviously, to succeed as a musician, you literally have to do something.

Whether you’re just starting out or have experience in the music industry, there are important steps and a lot you need to develop your music career. Knowing this can make a big difference in the results you get, depending on how you perform these steps.

It’s not about what you are doing… about who you are

A few years ago I was a great mentor. He was a very successful businessman. At that time, my career was not so advanced. “How do I participate in a world tour?”, “Where can I send my records?”, “Who do I need to talk to on a record label?”, “How to increase my income?” “My money and talent make money?” “,” How do I sell my music in other countries? “etc.”

He said, “Tom, you’re not all ready yet. You may be ready as a musician, but you’re not mentally ready.” “Be smart, talented, and unsuccessful. With a “successful mindset,” you have the power to succeed. Things are necessary. Don’t worry about doing “things” now, start with “who are you?” You have to build the inside, and then all the external stuff you need to do is much easier.

“We already know that everything is a positive outlook. Now we need specific advice on what, when, where, and how to do it,” he replied, “Well, Tom, If you really know this, I challenge you to teach me at least 25 ways you have (without help) using these psychological concepts in your music career. No. “Entrepreneurs and businessmen in every industry know that you really aren’t ready. They can sniff your inferiority because the lion fears victims. And When you do, it’s usually not good for you, it’s not the best way.

7 things to do now to start your music career

1. Don’t go fast Listen to the above advice. Focusing on who you are, not what you do, is important to your long-term career. Do not rush the first step and speed the second step. When you are busy with your future work, you will be greatly influenced by the results you get.

2. Test expectations What do you expect from yourself? What do you expect from life? What do you expect from others? Your life to date reflects your own expectations. You only control your expectations. You can choose to expect something great from you, your life, and your surroundings-and when you do this, you are ready for the next step in launching your music career. it’s finished.

3.Demand and orders. Expecting great things for yourself and for life is an important step, but no matter what obstacles, challenges, fears, or delays you face, until you ask and dictate what to do, Expectations have no real power. On the way. If everything is correct, it is even more important to request and order more. When successful, it often loses momentum. Not really prepared for success, but in the short term, it happens to successful people. When you have a successful mindset, you maintain a high level of demand and order in your life in any situation. This is the key to long-term success in the music career, especially in the music industry.

4. Throw the fire! How do other people perceive you? Do they see you as understated, calm, introverted, and distant? Or do you know someone who is so passionate, enthusiastic, and devoted to seeing the flames burning from your skull? You already know that passion is the fuel that keeps your actions where they want to go. Beyond this obvious point is another important part. Others pull you in when you are on fire. What you do and what you have to offer. People who are very successful have strengths that many do not. Many successful people find this quality in you as an indicator of your ability to succeed-this is especially true the first time you meet someone in a position that can help or harm you. I will. In your music career. ..

And of course, be careful not to suggest that you are arrogant or disgusting. Show your expectations, confidence, enthusiasm, dedication, beliefs… and the attitude of fire!

5. Be consistent. You want, do, and have all (or almost all) of your daily thoughts, beliefs, attitudes, plans, and actions. This may seem obvious, but few people really care about it in their daily lives. Usually, we want to announce a specific purpose but split the mind in the opposite way. Let’s look at two common examples.

1. A man is always thinking about professional guitarists, but he doesn’t think it really happens. His lack of expectations is more consistent because he “doesn’t believe” to be a professional guitarist and does not plan, contact, or take any other necessary actions to achieve his goals. lose.
2. College students who want to become professional musicians earn a bachelor’s degree in a career unrelated to music (or business). In this case, most of the time and energy of these students is devoted to pulling them away from their musical aspirations. As a general rule, the more stable you are, the quicker and easier you can reach your desired location.

6. Take care of the garden You don’t always have the freedom to choose where you live, but changing your home isn’t necessary. You can find success everywhere. Moreover, we are not blessed with support for family situations. We can’t choose a family, but we can choose someone to interact with (online, in real life) with friends and others. If your friends don’t support you, find a new one. Your environment is very important where your mind lives. Aim to find a positive, empowering, and supportive friendly environment. People are like fertile soils that resemble your desires, ambitions, and experiences with what you want to be, where your music career can flourish and grow. Negative, pessimistic, and debilitating people are like weeds. Will the people around you make you stronger or destroy you? Enclose them in a mind of success with people like you… It’s hard to grow flowers in weeds… So take good care of your garden.

7. Don’t stick to the sun and rain use fertilizer! Your music skills (how good you are) aren’t enough to create and sustain a successful music career (sad, but true). Maybe you don’t understand much about how the music business works today (though many may not). Becoming a professional musician is like a gardener. To ensure a successful career, you need high-quality seeds (preparing your mind), adequate sunlight (knowledge and skills), rain (physical activity), and fertilizer (mentorship). You can grow beautiful flowers without fertilizer, but you are fertilizer
