If you want to make it in the music industry, it is no secret that you have to pull out some money from somewhere.

I have been making music for the past three years and working a 9-to-5 job the whole time throughout. From parking cars to bussing tables, I have done what I've had to do to make my goals a reality.

Everyone gets frustrated at a job they don't like , especially an artist who tend to be emotional people (guilty).

This is one tip to keep in mind if you are an artist who works a 9-5 job to fund their dreams.

Recite your goals constantly - every 5 seconds if need be.

Here is what I mean: At one point, I was working my valet job, going to community college, recording at the studio, and working on my car all at the same time. Out of all these things, my valet job is the one I want to do the least, but ironically, the most necessary. Every time I parked a car I would recite this :

"I will make it in music"

"I will pass my classes"

"I will finish my car"

I would say this on and on.

That way when I got back to the ramp to park another car nothing could throw me off my game because I had in mind what I was doing this for. I am still using this technique to this day. Making it in the music industry is not easy; you have to do things you don't like, but if you are reminding yourself why you are where you are at that moment it makes it a little easier.
