Seek Success
If you have aspirations of becoming a success in the entertainment industry then you must acquire strong ambition. Talent must be present, but once identified do everything in your power to develop it! Edison stated that success is 2% inspiration and 98% perspiration. Study. Set your end goal and focus all of your thought and energy into that goal. If you wish to become the greatest vocalist, writer, win the most Grammy’s or even if you just want to be known; fix your Mind’s eye on that goal and do the necessary work to obtain it…never stops! Develop discipline, character and tunnel vision.
Perfect Your Craft
If you love singing, songwriting, production or the business aspects of entertainment then learn all that you can about your craft. Submerge yourself in your craft; read books, search the web, take in all the knowledge you can find concerning music and the arts. You are in control of your own fate. Your success is contingent upon your preparation and persistence. Ask questions, seek help but never worry or fear…your time will come. Be prepared!
Don’t Wait For Shhhiiiit!
Spend time thinking and meditating about who you are. What is your purpose? Why are you needed? Develop your brand, have a clear picture of how you will appeal to your audience. Develop a trust worthy team and study other successful artists and teams. A major label won’t make you,. Fuck the Labels-Take your fate into your own hands and go hard; test your music and be real with yourself. Everyone will be interested in the artist that is self-motivated. Build a team, devise a strategy, and plant seeds everywhere. Take note of what fans and supporters like best about you and hone in on it. Use the Internet to create a buzz. Create a demand for your material. Distribute music yourself.

Inspirational... I have a lot of friends who are doing music and are extremely dedicated. I also have a brother who just dropped out of school to pursue rap. But I feel like music is one of those fields where there isn't enough room for every single person who gives it their all to make it big. Despite their efforts, not everyone who wants to achieve billboard # 1 success is going to get it. I agree that you need to give it your all, but at some point you also need to have a back up plan.
I agree with you max. However, I think that you can take bhines advice in a different direction. I think that if you are really focused on your craft other things can come out of it besides just being number one on the billboard charts. As you go through your journey you can discover that you are better at writing music, producing, or even starting your own label. I would say never lose focus on your interest. Just have back up plans within.
but I also agree that it is smart to set yourself up so that you can go in a number of different directions in life!
Well said B. Although my career desired is something different, These tips can be applied to anything you wish to become. Thanks ;)
