I just finished reading get out of your way by Russ, for the second time.

It is the perfect book for any artist at any point in their career. If you are just starting out making music you got to read it. Feel like you don't know what the next step is for your career... read it.

For the artists who live and breathe music here are 3 quotes for you to apply to your life.

1. "Pursuing your passion is the surest way to separate your true friends from the energy leeches-...."

Your energy is important and we take on the energy from other people. Usually the people who are closest to you, are draining your energy the most. They see you chasing your dream... and they envy you for it. You have to cut those people out.

2. "Defeating your own self-doubt is the biggest obstacle to overcome."

All of your dreams and goals are achievable, everything you want to happen can. The only person in the way is yourself. Russ talks about this throughout the entire book. Once you realize you are in the driver seat, your whole perspective starts to change.

3. When you're chasing your dream, when you are so fulfilled by what you do that you're lost in the game, the money will find you."

We are all trying to touch that cheddar. But, if your main focus is the money, when you get it, you won't be happy. You have to trust the process and love what you do more than you love the money.
