I was an aimless musician.
I did what most people do when they don’t have goals: I meandered around, wondering why music wasn’t “working out” for me.
I’d ask myself, “Where was my success?”
You see, I’ve been making music on the side for 10+ years. Most of those years, I didn’t know what I was doing.
That is, until I made a game plan for my music career. And now I avoid failure like the plague.

A Music Career Game Plan Keeps You From Failing
You know how some days, you feel like giving up on music? Yeah, having a plan combats that feeling.
Because here’s the thing…
I’ve released 60+ songs across a bunch of EPs, albums, and singles.
I’ve landed sync licensing deals, played hundreds of shows, and my songs have been played on the radio many times.
But I’ve also thought about giving it all up.
In 2013, I took a break from music for 2+ years. I wasn’t playing shows, I wasn’t recording music, I was barely even writing songs.
And during those few years, I asked myself…
- “Should I quit being a musician?”
- “Is this whole music thing worth it if it’s not full-time?”
- “Am I even good enough to really make it?”
But it turns out I was asking the wrong questions.
I was putting the industry’s definition of “success” on a pedestal it didn’t deserve. I realized the idea of “making it” was all a sham.
It took me years to figure out what I now know, thanks to a lot of trial-and-error. Years spending time, energy, and money going after success the wrong way.
But finally, I came up with a plan.
And now I’m a successful musician, even though it’s not my full-time career (yet).
Know why?
Because I spend about 2 hours every day making music. I make music I’m proud of, and I make it consistently.
I feel in control of my success. And I’m not losing my freakin’ mind from discouragement.
If I didn’t have this plan, there’s a good chance I would be slowly giving up on music. I’d be failing, if the synonym for “fail” were “turning my back on music completely.”
But if you just avoid failure, you’re only fighting half the battle…
A Music Career Game Plan Helps You Thrive
Not only does a game plan keep you from hitting rock bottom, but it also helps you move toward your goals.
If you’re not sure where to start with your music career, you need a plan. Just like I did.
You need to know where you want to be and how to get there.
After I developed my own way forward, I realized I had more focus. I was accomplishing things. I was creating traction.
And I still enjoy making music just as much as ever.
That’s why I highly recommend you create a game plan for your music career.
Once you find a clear path toward success and make a tangible plan to get there, you’ll start to see exciting things happen.
