How to survive as a musician
It’s not easy to survive as a musician but here is some help
So many of us dream of going professional as musicians but once we make that step we have to survive as a musician. And that can be tough.
It’s not an easy career path to walk down but if you know in your heart that this is the path you want to take then you should definitely take it. Now that you’ve made that bold decision it’s time to get serious. You need to get smart and do everything possible to make this work.
It can be done but you have to become a business person and make strategic moves.
I have seen lots of people try to go down this path with no plan, no business sense, and no real desire to learn and they have failed. Often these are the people that are lured by the ‘rock and roll lifestyle’ rather than an actual desire to be a professional musician on any serious level. The are often lured in for the wrong reasons and then fail to survive as a musician.
Below is a very quick video that details some information that I gave to a young drummer who is ready to start making moves towards being a professional musician but has some concerns. It focuses on valuing yourself, your time and your skill set which has taken you many hours to build up. Respecting yourself has to come first and then other people will respect you.
Here’s another super quick two minute video with some more advice on this topic.
If you want to go deeper, take this seriously and change your life today and make money from music then head over to the Make Money from Music Course.
But for now watch the short video below and start to make the right moves towards becoming a professional musician.
