“A-Business-Savvy-Starter-Pack” in the Music Industry.

Most people misunderstand that the drive required to be “successful” within the music industry is less dependent on trying to mimic the experiences of the people you “look up to” in the industry and more dependent on learning from the lessons they impart that could influence the shaping of your goals and identity. 

The success of your career could be a 2-year stretch to a 42-year stretch. It doesn’t matter if you want to be an executive signing off deals anywhere from $30,000 a year to $3,000,000 a month, or whether you want to be the one performing at sold-out stadium shows or the one writing the next big hit. The music industry, just like any other industry can be rewarding if you invest your time and effort with a smart outlook towards it. 

Creating clear boundaries between your creativity and the industry is vital in helping your personal growth within the industry whether it’s being in the spotlight or out of it. It is important to remember that some of the things that determine your success within the music industry are your creativity, ability to show up on time, following through with your commitments and the basic understanding of math. Consider this your “a-business-savvy-starter-pack” in the music industry.
