"Don't Make Music Your Job!" 

It's easy to tell that you're a good mentor. Your messages are encouraging and focus on positive concepts. Thank you!

To elaborate on a point you made I think it very much also comes down to WHAT you are doing musically. Music (or anything for that matter) may be your passion and I agree...your passion should be the ultimate way to make a living but if you are doing something with you don't like ...ex. playing a type of music you don't care for you probably won't have much passion in it. That's one of the great things about Sync music is often get the chance to do many styles AND be creative. I know many musicians who playing music has become a "job" (as in something they don't like which is usually because they are playing music they don't like or in an environment they don't like (possibly cover songs or performing in places they don't like or with other musicians they don't like). The trick is finding what it is YOU really enjoy about making music and making that work for you so you don't feel like your'e working for it ;)

Excellent advice. I actually hit that wall and pretty much stopped music altogether, but after exploring other avenues like graphic designing, I realized that nothing inspires me more than music, and music licensing is a great path to take for any music producer. Thanks for the video.

10 years into music as a job (not licensing, that’s my new pursuit) and I love it more than ever!

Very interesting topic. Inspiring message for music makers who are thinking about making a living from music production.

Thank you for the video!

This is great advice. I really needed to hear this. Thanks bro. Peace and love.

Solid advice man, much appreciated 👊🏼

Can you please do something on where to look to add new members to a band? Like what what sights are good for finding the right people the right team? Also how to word things in advertisements on what you are looking for? Are there websites or do you look at open mics or both?

Good advice.

"Don't make music your job" is an outdated belief that goes back centuries, perhaps thousands of years. It is mentioned in some writings by great Renaissance thinkers. Thanks for challenging this belief and talking about it openly on your channel, Jesse.

Thanks beyond the word describes! All the way from Michigan. Would love to connect further and join your community to help support yourself and mine as well!

right after I quit my job to pursue my music career full time because I always heard "make money from your passion and you'll never work another day in your life" I see this video lol
