Your Music Business Career -
Are You a Tortoise or a Hare?

The success and longevity of your music business career depends on your attitude.

You probably know the story of the tortoise and the hare who race. The tortoise wins the race with slow, steady and sure progress.

You can act like a hare a sprint this way and that way chasing fame and riches or you can act like a tortoise and take the route of slow steady business growth.

How to act
like a Hare...

How to act
like a Tortoise...

- Avoid music practise.

- Avoid the "business side of music".

- Chase a record deal.

- Expect others to do the work.

- Be an opportunist.

- Think next week, or next month.

- Do it for the fast money, fame and "lifestyle".

- Practise your art at every opportunity.

- Study and understand the business aspect of music.

- Remain independent. Ignore record deals until you at least have a strong following.

- Do what you can yourself. Delegate and outsource the rest.

- Be a strategist.

- Think next week, next month, next year, next 5 years, next 20 years.

- Do it for the music, your tribe and your own growth and pleasure.

You'd be better off when you avoid any company or person who promises you quick riches or fame. It's always a sham.

You rather want to research and create a solid long-term music business plan to stick to.

Remember, a song is not about getting to the last note or final cymbal crash. It's about the journey.

Make every move and moment count and always keep moving towards your desired business goals. Remain persistent and determined.

I'll leave you with these words for your music business career ...
