Musicians should outsource songwriting, production, and video work to specialists when their DIY versions aren't competitive. Collaborating with top talent teaches you skills while raising your product's quality enough to stand out in your genre.
On the other note that Jim said, too, is like, if your songs aren't strong and the product is not competitive comparative to anything else in the genre that you're looking to be within, you know, as. As the CEO of your business, you've got to bring somebody else in. You got to outsource and bring some help in to help specialize and get your product to that next level, right? Like, if you're bad at making videos, find someone to partner with. Find that somebody that's great at making videos. If you're not good at songwriting, you know, try to collaborate with some other songwriters to get to that next level and start learning from them, right? So, you know, I, you know, we all like to think we're great songwriters, and until you get in a room with some really great songwriters, right, Then you're like, oh, wow. And you'll learn from them and you take from them. Same thing with producing and engineering. You know, Sean knows he. He's a. An amazing engineer, but it's because he's sat over the shoulder of some of the best engineer producers in the game, you know, and so that's the element of where you got it. You can't be afraid to expand it and invest into these. These things that are going to give you so much knowledge and experience that are going to help enhance everything you're doing, whether it's working with another songwriter, another produce engineer, bringing a videographer in, right? Like, yes, DIY is great, but if DIY is. Is. Is lacking on some element, DIY yourself into collaborating with somebody that is better and maybe invest and spend the money so that you could A, bring them in, have them do it, or B, learn from them so that you can do it better moving forward. I think that's a big piece too. You know, you can't be scared to. To outsource, to make a, ensure that your product is competitive and your music is your product ultimately, right? People are.
