thepurpleblob Posted August 13, 2009 Share Posted August 13, 2009 Interesting read and good advice. Doesn't really just apply to the music business either. If you want to succeed you have to put the hours in.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cat Burrito Posted August 16, 2009 Share Posted August 16, 2009 Interesting thread and some interesting responses. I agree with a lot of the sentiment here. I don't want to make it in the industry and gave up 10yrs ago but I feel I am making it with music. It's a much happier place to be! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Funk Posted August 16, 2009 Share Posted August 16, 2009 I always found this article useful too. I keep going back to it. Music's a tough thing because you need the confidence to keep going AND the awareness to gauge exactly what's currently working and what's not. Kind of like keeping your feet on the ground and your head in the clouds.
