Getting Ahead and Staying Ahead

Getting ahead Sounds obvious, right? But this rule is at the top of the list for good reason. You may be getting involved in the music business because you love music, but a lot of people flock to the business because they think it's just a non stop party. While there are certainly plenty of opportunities to have fun when you're working in music, but the key word here is WERKING. Getting to the good stuff requires hard work and commitment. When you have a job to do, show up on time, and do it. Show people that you can be counted on to work hard and you know the difference between work and play, and you'll find doors swinging open.

Rules in staying aheadSay

1. "I Don't Know" (if you don't know figure it out or ask someone don't sit there after a day and still don't know)


2. Don't Be Afraid to Make Some Money (Money is time and time is money)


3. Don't Be Afraid to Ask (if you don't ask you never will know the answer)


4. Get it in writing (contracts)


5. Above All Else – LISTEN (Please!)
