10 Things Successful Musicians Have in Common Number 2
from the earlier post in this topic, we learnt about 'Big Picture' what's the 'Big Picture' for my music career?'
Once you factor it out, channel all your energy towards making it a
reality.
Number 2:
'The Ability To Bring More To The Table Than Just Your Musical Skills'
No matter if you are working as an independent musician or together with a music company, you will greatly benefit by knowing how to negotiate, book shows, build a following of fans, put together a tour, communicate effectively, think of profitable business ideas and much more.
Certainly you do not need to be the ‘best’ at all of these things (you should find others who are strong in the areas that you are weak in) and it isn’t always good to attempt to do everything on your own. That said, when you can do these things yourself, you become capable of adding a lot of value to any situation. This gives you the ability to:
1. Become the 'best choice' for any bands looking for a new member
2. Determine different ways to earn a living in the music business
3. Reduce the amount of money you need to spend on hiring others to do the tasks you can't do
4. Make a lot more money due to the additional value you offer
5. Greatly increase the chances for success in any musical project you pursue
The main idea is that highly successful professional musicians are multidimensional, and do not merely 'play an instrument'. This is why other musicians and music industry professionals always want to work with them (increasing their chances for success).
