I’m reading a book on being in an Indie Band. It reads:
Not everyone is cut out to be an independent musician. Before making the decision to go after an independent career, you-as a musician-must ask yourself:
*Have you done everything you can to be as good as possible?
*Can you trade dreams of being a star for the reality of making a living from your music?
*Are you willing to bend with suggestions from others?
*How much time are you willing to devote to your music career, including touring?
*How big are your balls?
Indies should never assume anyone will do anything for them that they aren’t willing and able to do for themselves. No one will ever care as much about your music and career success as you do. The only helping hand you can truly depend on is connected to the end of your arm. Don’t expect others to do it better than you can do it yourself!
