I was at my son’s favorite skatepark today when I overheard some guys talking about a band that wanted to stay “underground”. One of the guys was struggling to understand why this band was adamant about staying “cool” by refusing a major record deal. He said “what’s the point of starving? You can only starve for so long and then your dead!” He then went on to say that it seems musicians are scared to make money from their music. Then he simply said that if they want to feel that way, they can “just starve then!!”
**BINGO**
When people like stuff, they do whatever it takes to have it. In our modern world, the legal process is called a purchase. With money. And this is a good thing, especially if what they’re purchasing is something from you and you get some of that money.
Do you agree? If so, why? If not, why? You need to answer this question. This is the biggest question in the life of a person in this industry.
I am not joking. This is the pivotal question for you and your career and no one else can, or should make this decision. It is not about anybody but you.
Decide now how you want to handle this topic. Then get to it!
