That is probably the question most of us have asked ourselves from time to time, whether you are contemplating life, your career or the cosmos. Its a really good question.
I got a glimpse of some music business folks answers in the Lefsetz letter today. Most of you reading this will be a Lefsetz subscriber anyway, but in case you didn't see it here is the post. http://lefsetz.com/wordpress/
I love the quote in there where Bob says "People are always looking for the answer. Usually, the answer comes after the start. You've got to begin in order to find out where you're going. But if you never begin, you never get to the destination". His Eureka moment and one we all should pay attention to. If you never begin you never get to the destination!!!!!
There are 1000 reasons for us to hold off on things and sometimes you should make sure you have certain things ready, but honestly our website at http://toursavant.com is in beta. We could have, should have waited right? things don't all work perfectly! you know what? you gotta launch and correct course, surge forward and correct course. Based on the feedback you get, your own discoveries as you go. If you don't go you will never know.
As an artist this should be even more simple. Follow your heart PERIOD (note you are following - the heart wants out the door to show the world its goods all the time - we just repress it). Don't let too much info change your thinking. If your heart accepts some guidance and you feel it -do it! but don't you don't have to please everyone, just yourself to start with. and if you are sitting in your bedroom wishing people could hear your stuff, stop wishing and start moving. I hope we can be of some help.
Show people what you are doing here. as with all advice, this one should be tempered by the reality that you gotta put in the time to get good enough to deserve people paying attention to you, so use that time in the garage well. then get going.
