The Secret to Having a Successful Career in Music

“The secret of getting ahead is getting started. The secret of getting started is breaking your complex overwhelming tasks into small manageable tasks, and then starting on the first one.”-Mark Twain

Mark Twain Guitar

Want to be a Rock Star? Or just be able to sustain your desired lifestyle with doing what you love? Sure you do!

It can be a bit overwhelming thinking about all the things that must fall into place to achieve the huge dream of playing music and being successful. Follow Twain’s advice and break things down into the smallest pieces you can. As you go along accomplishing these smaller goals, you will find yourself feeling more accomplished and building up a nice momentum.

Try to learn something new each week. Make contact and give some value to one or two new musicians or players in the music industry.

Every little thing adds up. Remember, it takes one brick at a time to build a house!

    I had no idea you could custom order transcriptions! Makes sense there would be a market for this though. Thanks for this info and I’m checking this out.
