In this video, I’ll be explaining and breaking down my thoughts, so that you can be aware of what you might be getting yourself into if you choose this career path.
This video will be especially important if you are in your late teens, in college, and even an adult who’s thinking about becoming a professional musician.
If you end up staying until the end of this video, you’re going to learn about the concepts that I’ve had to spend years to discover the hard way and through many mistakes.
So if this sounds like something that piques your interests, sit down and relax and I guarantee you that the time that you’ll spend watching this video will more than pay for itself, and all I ask of you is to give this video a like which will help the Youtube algorithm recommend this video to more people.
Also, many of these points can be applied to the creative industry as a whole and to many other fields as well. :)
