Most major feats that are worthwhile, took the minds of several people to accomplish. In this video, I go over the importance of having a team and working with other people to achieve your goals. It is hard to find compatible people to work with, but you must not be discouraged in your quest to find the proper team members/business partners. If you do research on any hit song or any great business idea, you'll see that it was the culmination of many minds with similar goals. If you want to succeed in business, prepare to build a team whose goal is to help establish your business needs. With the right team, possibilities are endless and you could be the next big millionaire entrepreneur.

Staying relevant is like going to the gym and working out everyday. Going to the gym to watch other people workout wont get you in shape. You must workout on your own and if you want to see results then you must workout a few times a week. Creating buzz and relevance online is exactly the same. You must be releasing content at least once a week, just like you would need to be in the gym at least once a week, if you’d like to stay in shape. The more days that you’re working out at the gym, the faster you will start seeing results. There is no quick or easy way to remain relevant, besides constantly creating new content. True relevance means thousands of people are searching for you, on a daily basis. If no one is searching for you, then you are irrelevant. Don’t feel bad about it, just create content that will get people talking and searching for you or your brand.

The video above is the audio version of Chapter 16 from my book "How To Make It In The Music Business: Using Social Media Marketing To Build A Large Following".

Procrastination and putting things off can and will lead to failure. In order to be successful, you must do more now and stop saying you will complete things later. Success in the music business and with any business happens through being prolific. It's not always about having the highest quality work. I believe real art is about expression and not about quality. Using lack of money or resources as a reason to not produce, is the worst excuse you can make. In this video, I give advice and motivation on why you need to stop procrastinating. You can't be a procrastinator if you have ambitions to succeed. Don't allow lack of equipment or lack of resources stop you from creating your dreams.
