MUSIC INDUSTRY WORKSHOP/ ACADEMY OF MUSIC & SOUND EXETER KEYNOTE

CLIP TAKEN FROM A MUSIC INDUSTRY WORKSHOP AT THE ACADEMY OF SOUND AND MUSIC IN EXETER. IN THIS KEYNOTE DAMIAN TALKS ABOUT SETTING YOUR SIGHTS BEFORE SETTING OFF ON YOUR JOURNEY.

When I was a kid learning to ride a bike my dad told me 'Look where you want to go and the bike will go where you are looking.' What an amazing piece of life advice that was, because for one I didn't crash my bike but also this is true in all walks of life!

If you want to be in a band selling records and touring the world this isn't going to happen by accident.. Muse didn't stumble across into playing Wembley stadium 3 nights in a row.

First rule in business is knowing what you want so you can make a plan to get there.

Too many people eagerly start their journey with no idea if they are travelling in the right direction because they haven't set a goal. So many musicians are trying to have 3 careers at once and failing at all of them. Businesses are failing because they lack clarity in what their goals are for themselves as well as their clients.

One clear statements goal - This means every single time you need to make a decision you will think of the goal and ask yourself is it driving you in the right direction for that goal!

If you want to be a full time guitar teacher, is taking 3 weeks to go on tour with your original band a good idea for your guitar practice.... Of course it's not!

Before you start making that plan that's going to change your life for the better... Decide what destination you are working towards first!
