Tom Hess put up a video found on website http://www.musiccareers.net/career-articles/making-music-industry-contacts/. He discussed seven important steps to become a successful musician. They are listed below:
1. Don't Get Caught Speeding: Don't get caught speeding into the next step; first know who you want to become
2. Inspect What You Expect From Yourself, Your Life, From Others
3. Demand and Command: Expect greater things from life and yourself; don't loose momentum when successful; become success-minded
4. Shoot Fire!: Being your intensity, attitude on determination, conviction, expectancy, confidence, and passion
5. Get Congruent: Daily thoughts and actions should focus on what you want to be; expect the desire to happen
6. Weed Your Garden: Surround yourself around a supportive environment and other success-minded people
7. Don't Depend On The Sun & Rain Alone..You Need Fertilization: You need more than just skills to sustain success; you need high quality mental preparedness, knowledge and skills, and physical action, and a mentor
