Take pride in being brave enough to do music independently.

Create music that makes people feel something and promoting it will be easier.

You started making music because a song inspired you. Never forget that.

You will perform in front of a stadium full of people.

Most independent artist haven't made more than $50 from music they've done for years.

The right could make a song go viral.

Visualize what life will be like when you start living off your music.

You can be better than the artist that inspire you.

The more emotion you put in the song the better.

Focus on consistency when dropping song and your fan base will grow.

Few people do music for the right reasons.

Your life changes when you start making music full time.

You shouldn't drop any music that isn't amazing to you.

Real artist are always in the studio.

The way music is now makes it easy for quality to stand out.

Google what a asset is. Spend your money mostly on assets. Take the money you make from assets and put it into your music.

It might not seem like it at the beginning but investing in your music is the best thing you can do.

Do what you need to do to make it as a independent artist. Don't depend or wait on no one.
