If you are a musician and you dont show any interest on the business level then you are actually vulnerable and people will rip you off. They will sweet talk you into anything.

I believe that every person has uniqueness - something that nobody else has.
If you don't get on the field and play then you will be missing out.
If everyone would look for that uniqueness then we would have a very colorful world.
I practiced for at least two hours every day for twenty years, before then I practiced maybe four to five hours a day, and before then 14 hours a day. It was all I had ever done.
