  You just need to write, sing, compose, produce, record, mix, master, engage, plan, promote, record videos, run marketing campaigns, network, organize shows, buy equipment, learn graphic design, design logo, run snapchat, facebook, twitter, instagram, soundcloud, release, distribute, respond to every comment, design covers, update social media, plan music video, script, produce, direct, act, make photos, edit photos, and get a job to buy food. EASY! :D

  Perfectionist is a killer... for 10 years I kept all my music to myself... I allways tought I was not "good enough". But I got enough of that... I finally started to share my ideas! even improvisations, or raw tracks. Something I would never call "songs" before. It feels great! :)

  My dear musician friends: If you wish to stop eating ramen noodles then please listen to and heed Graham&apos;s advice. By reading these comments I can easily tell who&apos;s eating the ramen.

  I&apos;m bad at the &quot;Finishing the project&quot; thing. But the fact of &quot;Just release it&quot; is almost scary but almost liberating at the same time. I know what I can/will do.

  The fact that this is all true doesn&apos;t make it less depressing

  Perfectionism is a nasty beast. &nbsp;The main force behind it is the fact that many of us truly feel a sacred connection to our art (I would consider mixing to be an art also). &nbsp;One of the biggest things that opened my eyes to the reality of creating music was reading stories about my favorite bands and their recordings. &nbsp;For me, learning about the difficulties facing bands like the Beatles and Pink Floyd was like a revelation. &nbsp;Albums I&apos;ve considered &quot;perfect&quot; as a fan are probably anything but perfect from the band&apos;s perspective. &nbsp;That is what inspires me to work faster and criticize less harshly.

  Worked with dozens and of artists over 19 years of producing and recording/mixing... agree with Graham. &nbsp;I read a bunch of you are getting hung up on what he is saying about getting hung up on quality... but that does not mean to create stuff skillful and make your art the best you can! &nbsp;Its more that guys like us see soooo many artists getting hung up and they could A.) be way more successful and more people hearing there work, and B.) getting to that amazing song that they needed to put out 20 songs to get to that one... &nbsp;who cares if thousands even of people listen to the 20 bad ones? &nbsp;People like to see the process these days when that used to not be a thing. &nbsp;I&apos;m not just side with every opinion and idea I hear... I think critically BUT on this one I&apos;m going to agree with Graham, he is really onto something here. &nbsp;Story is king, content is king, authenticity is king, how bout quality is queen ;-) lol... &nbsp;Lets make more music!!!

  I struggle with two things: 1. Marketing myself and 2. Regular content. Marketing, for me, is so hard because people simply don&apos;t want to sit down to listen to music anymore. Even my own family hardly takes the time to listen to anything I record. I feel like, if I shove content down peoples throats, they won&apos;t engage in the content because they WANT to. With regular content, I feel it&apos;s hard for me because people would rather hear more song covers. Original content and the production of a song doesn&apos;t catch peoples attention and I don&apos;t want to only record Disney song covers lol.

  My biggest struggle is wanting to know all of the steps I need to take to move forward and then getting bogged down in the process and remaining at a standstill. &nbsp;Your message truly resonates, thanks man!
