Tools You Need for Success in the Record Industry

By Piree Lowe


You have taken the biggest step towards being successful in the music business by reading this. GREAT. Hopefully you KNOW that you will be successful, and you don't THINK you'll be successful. Also, hopefully you already know what you want to do in the music industry, and have already started practicing countless hours to be the best at it.

Also, you have realized that you will need both a creative and business mind to succeed in the music business. GREAT! Now it is time to discuss the proper tools that you will need in order to succeed in the music business.

A business (no matter what kind) needs the correct tools in order to be successful. Same thing with a job. You will need the correct tools to get any job done. Same thing goes for the music business. You will first need the tools discussed in the beginning. You will need a developed musical skill. You will need a creative and business mind. And last but most important, you will need a dream that you are prepared to catch.

You must also realize that the music business is just like any other business. There is a product (The artist), a sales person (the manager), advertising rep (public relations), a manufacturer (record label), shipping (booking agent), promotion and marketing (concert promoters) and a legal department (entertainment lawyer).

In order to be successful in the business, you must have all of these. Now let's take a look at a couple of more in-depth tools you will need in order to succeed. Ask yourself these questions:

1. Do you have a musical skill that you can sell to the public?

2. Is your skill unique enough to draw in the public that you're looking to sell too?

3. Do you have the right appearance physically to appeal to your audience? This is just as important as having a developed musical skill.

4. Do you work well with others?

5. Do people get mad when you give orders to them?

6. Can you have an optimistic outlook on a bad situation and press forward?

7. Can you take rejection without getting mad or giving up?

8. Can you be patient without getting mad?

9. Are you mentally capable of handling a lot of stress?

10. Are you willing to put the time into being successful?

11. Do you have the money to completely focus on pursuing your musical career without any distraction?

If you have answered yes to all of these questions, you are ready! It is now time to form your plan of action for success in the music industry. Congratulations.
