An aspiring singer
told me yesterday
that after having a child,
he needed money
and decided to quit the music business
to “get a real job.”
Ummm… singing IS a real job.
Plenty of singers make good livings.
That he didn’t considered it a ‘real job’
told me
he hadn’t been taking singing seriously.
He had treated it as a hobby,
as fun,
goofing around
and not applying himself to his ‘dream.’
Listen to the words you use.
They are a great indicator
of whether or not
you’re taking your business seriously.
BTW… if buddies aren’t taking
your business or dream seriously,
your word usage may be the reason why.
