2 Things Successful Musicians Have in Common

1. They implement.

When there is something that needs to be done, they do it. If they need to do a gig, they book it. If they need to get people out to it, they promote it. You get the idea...

Alternatively, the guys who aren't doing so well just think about booking gigs, or wait around for somebody else to book for them. They think the club owner should promote the show.

2. They take responsibility for what happens.

The guys I know who are selling a lot of music don't blame the club owner when nobody shows up for one of their gigs. If they've been on a label, they don't blame the label if they've been dropped. And they don't blame "illegal downloading" when nobody buys their records. Instead, they look at what they can do to make the situation different, and they keep working.

I encourage you to take a look at yourself as well as other artists, both successful and non-successful. And I hope you'll share your findings below...
