A successful music career depends more on mindset than talent. Without mental toughness and the ability to brush off criticism, even gifted musicians get overwhelmed by industry adversity. Develop resilience before you start.
Most, most artists don't have the proper mindset because you need. You're going to take those bullets and if they don't bounce off you, you're done. You're 100% done. It doesn't mean you ignore those things, but they will not let it get them down. And if you have that kind of mindset positive especially because a negative one won't get anywhere in this business either because people don't want to hear it. They don't want to hang out with you, they don't want to talk to you, they don't want to get any on them. But those people who can get past that with the proper mindset, you can't be stopped because it just like you said, way too much adversity.
So, you know, just like Jim said, like, the mindset has to be there so you don't drown yourself in the negativity when there's positive outcomes that come from it too. If you don't have the right mindset to be able to brush off all the negative comments, you're never going to be in the right mindset to receive the positive ones.
So, like, that's. And I, and I. And I've seen so many, I mean, we've all seen so many amazingly talented artists just immediately get eaten by this industry so quickly, where it's like they had all the talent in the world they could have scaled and they could have been potential global superstars, right? But they just didn't have the skin to deal with what comes with this industry on every level. On a, you need to have your mindset ready before you jump into this industry so that you, if you're not there, if you're not starting from that mindset point, you're. You're setting yourself failure right off the rip.
