Many musicians and entrepreneurs fall into a 3-6 month cycle of progress, only to end up back where they started. You begin doing what’s necessary to grow, but eventually, you slip into the comfort zone of what you already know. Let’s say you’ve mastered levels 1-5, but through mentorship and setting goals, you start pushing towards levels 6-10. Eventually, you fall back into familiar patterns, repeating steps 1-5 over and over again. This is incredibly common—99% of people experience this cycle.
But the question is: are you part of the 99%, or will you join the elite 1% who consistently push forward? I challenge you to be among the 1%—musicians who move their careers forward by taking one meaningful step each day. Just one action per day can turn you into a powerhouse!
Check out this blog post about pushing through discomfort and doing the things you know you need to do, even when they’re tough. It’s in those hard moments that growth happens—when success shows up in the form of new relationships, gigs, money, opportunities, and fans. These are the things that grow your music career, not just sitting in front of Ableton working on a new track.
Focus on the hard stuff, bit by bit, brick by brick. If you’re feeling unfocused or unsure about what actions will help your career, reply to this email. We’re here to give you the tools you need to succeed."
As a mentor, I’ve noticed a recurring theme among many of my students: the struggle to finish songs and create content for social media. These challenges can be daunting, but if your goal is to have your music heard by a larger audience, mastering these skills is essential.
Falling in love with music is easy—we’re all passionate about the creative process. But if you’re serious about turning your passion into a profession, you also need to embrace the work that goes into finishing your music and sharing your journey with the world. This means not only completing your songs but also documenting your process and creating content that tells your story.
It’s not about chasing the shiny objects or quick wins; it’s about developing a genuine love for the actual work that drives your success. The artists who thrive in the music industry are the ones who enjoy building their business, brick by brick, day by day.
Remember, the path to success isn’t just about making great music—it’s about consistently showing up, doing the work, and sharing your progress with your audience. Fall in love with the process, and you’ll find that the rewards follow naturally.
This short blog emphasizes the importance of embracing the full scope of being an artist and encourages artists to find joy in the entire process of building their music career and breaking the cycle!
