In the last episode the hosts discussed ways to kill a music career, now they’ll dig into ways to KEEP a music career with the following topics: Don’t Look In The Rear View Mirror:There is literally NOTHING you can do about the past, so spending 1 second of energy on it is an EPIC fail and a colossal waste of time. The past is what got us here; our successes and failures are part of who we are so we have to embrace them. Focus on What You HAVE Instead of What You Don’t Have:I promise the answers to all our future career questions and successes lies within the blessings we currently have, NOT in what we don’t have. Any thoughts we entertain about what we don’t have is a cop out and quite damaging as it only sets up excuses to quit; negative thinking will never help us succeed. You Can Only Control RIGHT NOW:The past is the past, the future is the future the ONLY thing you ever have control over in your life is RIGHT NOW. Huge selling artists all had success and record sales LONG before they had record deals. They went to the negotiating table with the majors that ultimately signed them with a ton of leverage. How could they have achieved all the record sales and success they did BEFORE they got signed if they were sitting around saying, “if we just had a record deal so we could get paid, then we could be stars.” They didn’t wait for anything. Work:Work creates momentum. We have to work. When we are feeling really down about where you are there is literally no better remedy for the artistic blues than redoubling our efforts towards our careers. Ignore the Haters:Especially the most powerful hater which is our own internal negative voice! Again, listening to that voice or any other hater only leads to one result; an excuse to quit. I promise you for every reason you and your haters can create to predict your failure, I can find 10 people that overcame the same hardships and succeeded. It’s all up to you; nobody else. --- Email any questions or comments to askblasko@gmail.com Find Blasko on Twitter and Instagram: @blasko1313 Find Mike Mowery on Twitter and Instagram: @mikeoloop ManageMental is part of the Jabberjaw Media Network. www.jabberjawmedia.com Learn more about your ad choices.
