Rock Star Reveals Secret To Building Successful Music Career Backup Plan

Nov. 14, 2013 - PRLog -- Famous virtuoso guitarist and music career success mentor, Tom Hess has released an online resource revealing the secret for how to build a successful music career (http://tomhess.net/MusicCareerBackupPlans.aspx) using a backup plan.

The majority of musicians are looking for new ways to build long lasting music careers but generally do not make far because they are tied-down to working a full time day job. Tom Hess addresses this issue in his resource by revealing innovative methods for creating a ‘backup plan’ for one’s music career. However, he first discusses his views on why conventional backup plans fail for most musicians.

Hess says: “There are four main reasons why most backup plans totally fail. They are not having an effective exit strategy, having too much risk involved, not being able to take advantage of opportunities due to lack of funds, and simply not having enough energy at the end of the day to put effort into moving your music career forward. That said, having no backup plan is certainly NOT the solution to these issues. To create a successful music career for yourself, you have to be totally prepared and you cannot merely wish for things to work out. The biggest issue with most people’s idea of a conventional backup plan is that everything comes from the mindset of “How can I not fail?” This mindset is totally void of any real ambition and it keeps you from ever trying to do anything of any real significance. As a result, you generally end up with what you have settled for: a familiar, normal, safe and secure life. Unfortunately, this is NOT the kind of lifestyle that will lead you to take big steps and reach the top of the music industry.”

Hess then goes on to talk about solutions to these problems: “First, you need to take the time to study how the music industry works. Second, you must be extremely careful when taking advice from those who may have never succeeded in the music industry (such as friends or family) and don’t really know how it works. Your friends and family will be glad to share their opinions about how to ‘make it’ in the music business... However, when you look into their advice, you will inevitably see the same underlying theme of ‘Here is what you need to do in order not to fail’. This will take you down the wrong path. All ‘truly great’ backup plans must consist of four main characteristics: flexibility, passivity, diversity and congruency. You can really only learn how to make an effective plan with these characteristics by working together with a mentor who is already successful in the music industry. This person is the only person who will know precisely how to help you create the perfect backup plan that will lead you directly to your goals in the music industry with as little risk as possible.”
