Music Business Stickiness

Below is my response to a music business forum as to what will make a recording artist, garage band or music producer/composer stick. Meaning what will give them staying power in the music business. How will they achieve longevity? Remember it took DJ Toomp 20+ years before he won his first Grammy, although he produced multi-platinum tracks in prior years.

It took Thomas Edison 10,000+ tries before he finally got the light bulb working correctly according to Napoleon Hill -Author, Think and Grow Rich. When asked of Thomas Edison why did you keep going he said something like "I figured if I found all the ways that wouldn't work I was bound to find the way that would." I am believing that true stickiness is primarily found in the individuals burning desire to succeed at all cost. I-myself can not give up even if I want to for I have conditioned my subconscious mind to keep on keeping on. I've asked and demanded of myself through the power of the Creator to give me the type of faith that great men and women have.

In life and the music business you must possess this type of relentless faith and positive mental attitude or you'll fail miserably every time. Failure is only the result of giving up -that's it.

There are a number of factors as to what ensures an artist and/or producer will stick some of which include in no particular order...

Burning desire
Timing
Master mind team
Practical written plan
Daily execution of the written plan
Funding sources
The music
Branding, marketing and promotions
Prayer, faith and meditation
Networking opportunities
