Planning (Step 1)
A career in the music industry should be viewed as a long distance trip. As with any trip you take in life, the most crucial part is the planning process. If you don't lay out the most efficient avenues for you to take, the trip could become a bumpy one. For example, are you looking to get signed to a major record label, or are looking to stay independent for as long as possible? Either way, planning in advance will make the trip much easier.
