What is the HARDEST part of the music business? #HardQuestions
I’ve been thinking a lot about how to make sharing information about the music business easier to follow, and easier to understand. And while I probably shouldn’t, because if an artist REALLY wants this, he or she will put in the necessary time and commitment to learn how to do this correctly. I mean, shit, I learned–I taught my damn self. I didn’t have a ‘me’ to make it easier.
But being the artist friendly softie that I am, I turned to my email list (text WENDYDAY to 44222 to join my list) and my social media to ask my followers to ask me questions. This one stood out! My first thought was that the answer differs depending on where you are in your career–new artists struggle with standing out and finding fans, seasoned artists fight to stay relevant and…

Never does what’s expedient.
Worries about money, but never makes it paramount.
Is jealous of others’ success, but puts his head down and keeps working.
Knows when he strikes a chord, knows when he gets it right. Look for this resonance, this inner light. When you’ve achieved it, you’ll get an inner smile.
Knows a career is a journey and you learn through experience.
Risks.
Lives in the world of discomfort.
Challenges himself.
Knows that love is the answer, but is sometimes poisoned by hate.
Wants a wide audience more than he wants riches.
Knows not to listen to anybody but himself. Stories in the press are inaccurate, and everyone’s an individual, on his own journey.
Plays to his strengths, not his weaknesses. Focuses on what he does right, not what he does wrong.
Is rarely good at anything else.
Dies inside when he is not creating.
Questions himself constantly…

I overheard a conversation between a couple of women the other day. It sounded like the problem was one of the ladies couldn’t understand why her husband never wanted to go shopping with her. She stated that he had no qualms dispensing his hardhustled dollars to her to buy whatever her tattooed heart desired, but he would never go. After moments of ramble, it became clear that the issue wasn’t with him staying home, but with her self-esteem. Until she fixes that, her marital problems will continue to magnify her personal ones. Him not wanting to go shopping had nothing to do with any of this.
Had I the gumption to stick my mixing spoon in her proverbial Kool-Aid, I would have given her 5 reasons why he hates going shopping with her. And any woman for that matter. On second thought, I probably should have said something. People have…

AMATEURS
Have tons of ideas, are excited about all of them and see none to fruition.
PROFESSIONALS
Have tons of ideas, pick one and do their best to make it happen.
AMATEURS
Think they can do everything.
PROFESSIONALS
Know it’s almost impossible to achieve one thing.
AMATEURS
Think they know everything.
PROFESSIONALS
Are always learning.
AMATEURS
Start with no preparation.
PROFESSIONALS
Do research, they want to know where the bodies are buried, what the landscape holds. Better to take all these factors into account before you start, because trying to adjust on the fly is so much more difficult, it wastes time and energy and it’s hard to put a fourth wheel on a car you designed with three.
AMATEURS
Don’t finish.
PROFESSIONALS
Are all about execution. Sure, they occasionally abandon a project when they see further effort is fruitless, but the mark of a pro is someone who begins and ends. If you notice someone can’t complete a task, run from them!
AMATEURS
Are worried about image.
PROFESSIONALS
Let their work do the talking.
AMATEURS
Demonstrate insecurity.
PROFESSIONALS
Are extremely confident.
AMATEURS
Can only see what’s in front of them.
PROFESSIONALS
Are all about the big picture.
AMATEURS
Hold those above them in contempt.
PROFESSIONALS
Hold no one in contempt, but they haven’t got much time for losers. If you’re an amateur trying to graduate to professional status and you have the good fortune to encounter a pro, DON’T WASTE THEIR TIME! Give just one or two compliments and ask your question. But most amateurs are so busy being sycophants the professional tunes out, or goes on at such length that the professional excuses himself.
AMATEURS
Have no idea what dues are.
PROFESSIONALS
Have paid their dues, and are still paying them.
AMATEURS
Believe in instant success.
PROFESSIONALS
Know anything worth accomplishing takes a long time, and what might look like overnight success is rarely such.
AMATEURS
Boast.
PROFESSIONALS
Never slap their own backs, and are oftentimes uncomfortable with others slapping their backs.
AMATEURS
Get nervous.
PROFESSIONALS
May be anxious, but they’ve performed the task so many times they let instinct take over, they go on their experience, nervousness never comes into the equation.
AMATEURS
Are looking for their one big break.
PROFESSIONALS
Know that life is about a series of breaks.
AMATEURS
Are afraid to fail.
PROFESSIONALS
Don’t like to fail, but when they do they pick themselves up, dust themselves off and get back in the game.
AMATEURS
Interrupt.
PROFESSIONALS
Listen.
AMATEURS
Demonstrate their bile, they get frustrated or angry and it’s easy to see.
PROFESSIONALS
Are cool, calm and collected. You may read about the crazy owner/operator/entrepreneur, but if they’re truly nuts, they don’t last, their board replaces them, and the truth is most are not that nuts, it just makes a better story in the press to portray them as such.
AMATEURS
Bristle.
PROFESSIONALS
Show empathy.
AMATEURS
Are always telling you how busy they are and how hard they’re working.
PROFESSIONALS
Show up and stay as long as it’s interesting and profitable, bitching gains them nothing, so they don’t.
AMATEURS
Believe what people say.
PROFESSIONALS
Believe what people do.
AMATEURS
Have tons of ideas, are excited about all of them and see none to fruition.
PROFESSIONALS
Have tons of ideas, pick one and do their best to make it happen.
