The Music Business is Hard Work

It appears that many bands looking for fame and fortune
do not understand the music business is a real JOB.

There appears to be many times your work is unpaid.
That is true but necessary to the nature of the job.

Look at the regular shift workers and see how your
music job compares.

• Do you miss scheduled practice?
• Are you only occasionally working a gig?
• Do other activities take priority over your music?
• Do you watch your health ?
• Are you chronically late for practice and gigs?
• Are you available to book gigs or talk to club owners?
• Are you available for Internet or radio interviews?
• Do you communicate with your fans?
• Do you rethink your band's role locally? Nationally?

Compare to a regular job and see if you are working to advance.
