How Spider-Man Can Help You Achieve Your Music Goals
I've been reading this phenomenal book called ”Limitless” by Jim Kwik. In the book, Jim tells the story of when he was having dinner with Stan Lee, the editor of Marvel Comics and co-creator of many of the most famous comic book superheroes.

Your Biggest Obstacle To Achieving Success In Your Music Business
What do you think your biggest obstacle to making a successful living as a musician is? Some of the common reasons I hear are things like: “It's the pandemic. It's the economy. It's the government.

And then we try it, and if we don't see results in 5 minutes, we give up on it and go looking for the next one. We get perpetually distracted chasing these things thinking they're the magic pill or silver bullet that's going to solve our problem and make everything fall into place.
