    "..If you had 60 conversations today, thats 60 chances to be invited to something that could enrich your life.."
    That really puts it into perspective what you could be missing out on, financially, socially, emotionally, creatively

    The thing is,
    Everyone wants to “make it” but they’re not willing to put up any money. It’s like any business, it has an overhead. Stop shooting music videos in an alley with your android. Stop dropping music recorded on a $20 mic. Start INVESTING YOUR BREAD IN QUALITY. Work in perfecting your craft & learn everything you can about marketing. Create brand equity & then use that as leverage. Go get it .

      Too many of us like to pay for music gear more than twice versus investing into quality gear. You get what you pay for. ✊🏿
