If you need this song to work, to be the one, to be the rocket ship…it probably won’t be.
There’s too much pressure. Because everyone on the team knows ‘this needs to be the one’ so all of a sudden everyone not only has an opinion, but a strong one.
Too many cooks in the kitchen and the soup sucks. Everyone is so worried, and someone is always pointing out why it won’t work and it needs to be a little less this and a little more that.
The truth is, if anyone is saying or adopting ‘this needs to be the one’…you need a new team and/or a new attitude…or you’re getting ready to hang it up all together.
The odds are already stacked against your next song being the one and the only thing that makes it worse is if it NEEDS to be the one.
Hopefully you and your team are aware and operating out of the good news: it doesn’t.
And when you have a hit people will forgive and forget your misses.
