Planning Your Music Revolution
"Artists used to need a record label to be heard. Now, all they need is a powerful PC and a broadband connection. For any musician with at least a pinch of talent and a desire to perform, the Internet has become a godsend."
So begins a recent article in USA Today. Nothing new here for most active musicians. But it does offer even more evidence that the independent revolution is well under way and gaining ever growing waves of attention.
Hopefully, you're a participant and not just an observer. In fact, 2006 would be the perfect year to make great strides with your music. The best way to make that happen is to set goals and achieve them through focus, accountability, persistence and personal integrity. Check out this resolution planner and web site for inspiration.
