Five Methods For GettingInto The Music Business That Lead To FailureBy Tom HessReady to break into the music industry but unsure about what you needto do? Before you will become a highly successful professional musician, youneed to get rid of several false beliefs that will cause you to fail in yourmusic career. With this in mind, you might be surprised to learn the followingfact about how the music business really works:Every year, thousands of highly-skilled musicians sentoff their music to music companies worldwide. In many cases, the musicians who sendtheir music in to people in the music business have spent years to become thebest player on their instrument. However, this does not guarantee that theywill get signed to any kind of recording deal. People who work for companies inthe music business do not read (or sometimes even ‘open’) all the materialsthey are sent. This drives many musicians out of the musicbusiness entirely because they don’t understand why their musical talent hasn’tlanded them a recording contract and become frustrated.On the other hand, there are plenty of musicians who DO becomesuccessful in the music industry. Building a fulfilling and profitable musiccareer is actually not as difficult as it may seem. However, the majority ofmusicians do not succeed because they believe in false ‘conventional wisdom’about the music industry that ruins their chances of achieving their musicaldreams. To break into the music industry and become successful, you must avoidthe following music career building approaches that most people consider‘common sense’:1. ‘Playing ItSafe’ By Working A Full Time Job And Doing Music On The SideMost musicians think that the only way to break into the musicindustry is to work at a safe and secure job while pursuing music on the side.In many cases, they are lead to believe that they can only attempt to get intothe music industry once they have saved up enough money (many years down theroad). Unfortunately, when people use this approach they end up getting stuckworking 40 hours per week and never find the time to work on music. Aftertraining many musicians around the world to succeed in the music industry, Ihave seen this happen countless times. The reality is, you only have a finiteamount of energy to spend during your day. When you spend it primarily workingat a job that is unrelated to music, you will not have any left to go towardmaking progress to become a successful professional musician. The worst partis, musicians who take this approach fail to become successful in music andfeel a lot of regret and resentment later on in life. There is nothing worsethan this.To build a successful long-term career in the music industry, you makeyour music career your #1 focus and plan for it accordingly. If you work a lotof hours at your job and have little time to pursue your musical goals, thereis a problem. In fact, many musicians have been in this same situation and goneon to become professional musicians. You too, can overcome this. The best wayto break into the music industry while working a full time job is to create abackup plan centered around your main music career goals. This plan shouldgradually help you transition away from your job in a safe and secure mannerwhile giving you more time to work on music AND keeping you financially stablealong the way.

Modeling YourMusic Career Based On The Advice Of Those Who Have Never Succeeded In The MusicBusinessWhile looking for ways to make it in the music industry, you haveprobably been given advice by friends, family and other people you know.Although most of these people have good intentions behind the advice they giveyou, their opinions about becoming successful in the music industry will oftendo much more harm than good since they have never really been successfulprofessional musicians.Consider this: Asking people for music career advice (when they havenever actually succeeded in the music business) is like training for a marathonwith a trainer who hasn’t run a mile in his life or asking your dentist forlegal advice. Additionally, asking advice from musicians who attempted tosucceed in music (and failed) is equally as dangerous for your music career.Although these people are perfectly willing to tell you how you should buildyour music career, they do not really have the authority to do so – they willonly lead you down the same path they took (which ended in failure).Truly successful musicians do not build their careers from the‘conventional wisdom’ of people they know or amateur musicians who never madeit. They work together with a mentor who has already achieved great success andcan use his experience to help them effectively reach their music career goals.3. Uploading YourMusic To Different Websites Online To Earn Money And Get ‘Discovered’One of the biggest questions musicians ask themselves when it comes tobuilding a successful music career is “How do I get my music out there?” Mostmusicians believe that the answer to this question is uploading your songs tovarious websites online and waiting to ‘get discovered’ by new fans and peoplein the music industry. In reality, musicians who use this approach will onlyget their music heard by a handful of people at best (and NOT by the ‘right’ people who need to hear it) and will never earna lot of money in the music industry. Here’s why:·        They do not know how to effectively promote their music.·        They don’t already have a massive following of fans who are ready tobuy their music as soon as it is released.·        There is no strategy behind what they are doing. They don’t know howto gain new fans or turn their current fans into people who will spread theirmusic to others through word of mouth.·        They have no strategy for making a living through music using manydifferent streams of income at once.Musicians who achieve the greatest success in their music careers doNOT merely upload their music online and wait around to get discovered. Theycreate a strategy for working toward their musical goals while raising theirpersonal value in the eyes of other in the music industry (by expanding theirfan base and building other important music business skills). After doing this,they simply approach the companies they want to do business with and negotiatea partnership that will bring the most benefit to both sides of the deal.

Thinking ThatA Degree In Music Will Help You Become Successful In The Music BusinessMany musicians think that going to university to get a degree in musicis a great way to break into the music industry. In reality, going touniversity for music may increase your musical knowledge, but it will NOTguarantee your success as a professional musician. Here’s why:a)  Most music courses do not cover the specific topic of ‘how to build amusic career’. Even if you take classes about music business, they will onlypresent you with a general model of how the music business works. They will NOTshow you exactly how to build a successful career for yourself (by keeping yourpersonal goals in mind). In fact, there are tons of musicians who graduate frombig music universities only to realize that they are still clueless when itcomes to actually earning a living through music. If you go to university withthe intention of getting into the music business with a degree, you will ‘atbest’ learn a lot about music – but end up back at square one in terms ofbuilding a music career. At worst, you will also have enormous amounts of feesand debts to pay back.b)  The overwhelming majority of musicians and music companies will neverask you if you have a music degree or not... because they don’t care. Instead,they want to see that you can help them build their own music careers and offerthem the resources to achieve their goals faster and more efficiently (note:this goes way beyond simply being able to play your instrument). See howvaluable you are to successful musicians and companies in the music industry bycompleting this free assessment about what the musicindustry is looking for.The truth is, most musicians who have built successful careers nevergraduated with a degree in music. They became highly successful because they receivedmusic industry mentoring from someone whohad already achieved the goals they wanted to achieve (and could effectivelyguide them toward those goals in as little time as possible).5. Trying To GetInto The Music Business AloneOne of the most difficult ways to build a career in music is to try todo it alone. While using this approach, you are forced to advance your careerthrough either trial-and-error or by copying what other people do. Without thetraining of an experienced and successful mentor, you will drastically decreaseyour chances of taking the right actions to move your career forward in thedirection you want. Additionally, copying what others do will not help youbecause what works for them may not work for you (in your specific situation).When these approaches don’t work you will either:a)  Stop trying to break into the music industry and continue working at afull time day job for the rest of your life.  OR...Spend many years trying to succeed in the music business whilebecoming increasingly frustrated because you can’t seem to make any progress.If you are committed to breaking into the music business and earning agreat living as a pro musician, it is crucial that you find a music industry mentoring program and workwith a successful mentor as soon as possible. By doing this, you will reachyour musical goals in much less time and finally be able to make a good livingas a musician.
