Everyone can release a song.
Not everyone can have a career in music.
If you want a career in music
you release songs consistently
you put on a great show even when you don’t feel like it
you have a keen eye for hiring people smarter than you
you get tired of showing up but continuously get re-energized
you love the work
you understand that the extra special magical (yet fleeting) music feeling is a blend of skill, consistency, chemistry and luck
and you understand that a huge measure of success is simply whether or not you get to keep going
oh and you must learn how to make real actual money…how much? Enough money to keep going.
