Pursuing a Career in the Music Business.

I once heard someone say that pursuing a career in the music business is no different than learning to cook. You can follow a specific recipe to the very last ingredient and still end up with unsatisfactory results.
Although there are no rules or guidelines that can ensure a prosperous and long lasting career in the music business, there are number of proven tips passed down from seasoned professionals that will at least point you in the right direction.

Whether you're a musician trying to make connections and get gigs or get signed, these motivational tips apply to you!
ANALYZE YOUR CAREER MOTIVATIONS AND GOALS

ANALYZE YOUR CAREER MOTIVATIONS AND GOALS:
Understand what truly motivates you. Do you want to be rich? Do you want to be famous? Do you want to be both rich and famous (the two do not necessarily go hand in hand)? Are you pursuing a career to attract the opposite sex? Or to party? Or are you pursuing music for spiritual reasons, for the art and for the love of creating, to make a valid contribution to the world of music?
Your answers to these questions are ultimately going to affect the career decisions you make. For this reason, you need to be totally honest about your goals. That said, it's also extremely important to interpret the goals of the people with whom you may become professionally involved. What motivates them? Do you really want to do business with these people? Do you truly respect and like them, and do they in return truly respect and like you? Artiste manager /agent/ consultant Ayo Rotimi calls this approach to self-awareness the "decision making tree." Your decisions (or branches) are based on the core (or root) of who you truly are as a person. Have you given this some thought? If you haven't, now is a good time.

DEVELOP A REALISTIC OUTLOOK: IGNORE THE MEDIA HYPE
Don't be blinded by media hype or glamour. It's no secret that the expensive houses, the cars, the yachts, the beautiful girls, and the large screaming audiences that you see in the videos for most new artistes are actually rented.

 It's important that you completely understand the realities of the music business. Are you willing to give it your all, sleep on floors if needed, work odd jobs just to survive, perform for free, and take rejection after rejection for a crack at the big time? Even then, your break may never come. Most successful artistes have lived and breathed music with no thoughts of ever turning back. Is this for you?

MAKE REALISTIC CAREER DECISIONS: GET EDUCATED
Understand how the music industry works behind the scenes. Learn the business inside and out so that you can make realistic and educated business decisions, rather than decisions based on dreams.
Speak to others in the business who have more experience than you and have been in the trenches themselves. Make sure you're willing to make the major sacrifices and take the risks necessary in pursuit of your goals. The life of an artiste/musician is not an easy one. As Billy Mitchell says in his book The Gigging Musician, "The music business is a living thing, a beautiful yet vicious animal that sometimes eats its young. It is important that you know what it [the business] is... and who you are."
