Success is the key, but Smart work is the answer

I was not sure of the exact path of music business i wanted to pursue. I prayed about it. I thought about and prayed about it some more. What am i good at? What could I love doing so much that I would even do it for free? Sing. But I wanted to make more of an impact than just through my music. Consulting was the first thing that came to my mind. And A.Taylor was the name that came to mind. She has worked as an independent music business consultant for over 20 years and surprisingly enough, has had a lot of clients that have had successful careers in and out of the spotlight. I had the opportunity to ask Ms. Taylor a couple of questions regarding her career and her success. "What is your definition of success, i asked?" "My definition of success is achieving a goal that you set to accomplish . Reaching for a goal whether big or small can be defined as success. To me, it does not always have to be a doctor, lawyer, or the President of the United States. It ca simply be making an A on a term paper after you done the research, drafted, proofread, and completed it." What advice do you have for anyone who desires a career in your chosen career field?" "I would advise them to learn how to effectively communicate with all groups of people in all situations. Communication is key. Be diverse. Be creative. And have a clear understanding of where you're going and who you are. Individualism is contagious and i wanted to catch it, so here I am 20 successful years later." It was not until after this interview/conversation that I had a full understanding of where I want to be and what it is I want to do. So as I press forward to my goal, I understand that my labor and effort will not go unrewarded.
