Work Until You No Longer Have Any Excuses

"Oh No, this service requires that I have an account with a PRO. Guess I'll be doing this later... "

DO IT NOW

"Oh I need my music copyrighted? Well, let me just think about that while I go back to my dead end 9-5 and dream of being a superstar"

GET OFF YOUR ASS

"Woaw... woaw there, you need how much to shoot my music video? I don't know, I needed this for beer money you know... "

GET SERIOUS

If you're just dying to get back to whatever the hell it is that you do to supplement your income while your music goes nowhere then that's fine, continue wasting your life.

Yeah I said it, L-I-F-E.

Stop the shenanigans already and face mortality. We're all going to be dust one day and the only thing of you that'll be left behind is your music (and possibly your offspring, but if they have the same work ethic as you and followed your example then they'll also be worthless ash). I am a professional musician. People tend to ask why I stress the "professional" so much and it's quite simple; this is a lifestyle. This is literally a full time job with no guaranteed wage and no sick time. Theirs no holiday pay, no health insurance, and definitely no lunch breaks.

Theirs plenty of overtime though! Oh is there plenty of got-damn overtime...

Some days you'll wonder how life would've been if you stayed in the office and worked your way up the corporate ladder. Then you'll of course remember all the times your own real life version of Bill Lumbergh would stop by your desk to give out the daily dose of breath on the back of your neck. There's a better world out there for you folks, and you're pissing away your ancestor's investment.

So let's take this one step at a time. Let's build one fan at a time, one song at a time... until we no longer have any excuses. Once music becomes your full time job I guarantee you'll have no more excuses because those lights will need to stay on and the only way you're gonna do that is if you stop the tomfoolery and get down to business.

"Break the rules! Not the law, Break the rules!"

Everyone had to start somewhere. Find yourself a work ethic and stick to it.

No excuses.
