People are Everything!

If you are an artist and bad at business, your number one job is to now find a manager.

Realize that at the end of the day, it doesn't matter what you do and how you do it...It matters WHO you get to do it with.

If you are an artist or startup, people are your golden geese. They are your lifeblood and they can totally make or break your dream.

Saying you can do it better yourself is an insecure and fear based thing to say. Your number one job is to find people better than you at different things. A business won't die faster than a suspicious owner clinching to every job because he/she thinks they are the only ones that can do it properly.

It all starts and ends with people. Get good at people.

People are Everything!

Remember When

Remember when you knew every song from the Billboard top 10? 
We live in a different time. A time where Spotify's Global Top 100 and USA top 100 rule the chart world and you don't know but a few of the songs! I listened to the top 10 on Global this morning and I hadn't even heard of most of these artists!

The world of mass population famous is over and it's all about finding your tribe of people. The gatekeepers that create Beyonce's and Back Street Boys are no longer in power. It's all about the people's voice now. The fans demand it and the powers that be give the people what they want, not the other way around. TV singing contents shows can't even create superstars now because prime time TV is for moms, not the kids.

So find your tribe and get involved. 
Make 1,000 true fans and take care of them like you take care of a child. Love them, respect them, and they will take care of you.
