There are almost no overnight wonders. No, if you knew the struggles, trials, and disappointments most successful artists have gone through, would you still want to do it? It’s a bumpy road at best and to make it you will have to be 110% committed and willing to make your music your primary focus. This business is not for the weak or luke warm.

Today, with so many releases coming up hourly on the Internet, you can’t be just good…you’ve got to be incredible. That’s going to mean adopting a strong artist development program for yourself and really working hard on your pre-production. It’s also going to mean being committed to writing and rewriting until you come up with 4 killer songs. Never rob yourself in this area … if you stop short you’re only hurting yourself.

Think about a hit movie…it was the script that made the story great. Without it no matter how brilliant the acting, camera work or direction, the movie was doomed. The exact same thing is true with your songs.

Remember… it’s almost never luck that wins in the end…it’s persistence and commitment . In any successful person’s career you’ll find tons of failures, disappointments and discouragement. What separates the winners is that they are willing to stand back up, dust themselves off and get right back in the game. So keep yourself thinking positively, keep showing up and there will be a time when your golden opportunity will be standing right in front of you. Will you be ready??
