I\u2019m calling it!<\/span><\/p>\n

This COVID- 19 shift is a wake up call to all of us. As musicians and entrepreneurs, we have to embrace this new reality…and we have to embrace it fast!<\/span><\/p>\n

We\u2019ve had enough rest, folks. Time to get back in the saddle. <\/span><\/p>\n

\"back<\/p>\n

Make baby steps if you must because we still have to be gentle on ourselves but we have to start moving. <\/span><\/p>\n

There are so many things we can do RIGHT NOW that can help our music and businesses thrive in the new normal.\u00a0<\/b><\/p>\n

Listen, I know you’re tired and frustrated. Running any business or maintaining a music career is so hard. We\u2019ve been talking to our customers and friends about their plans of action during the pandemic and boy, everyone\u2019s just feeling their way through the dark. We\u2019re all waiting for that light at the end of the tunnel. <\/span><\/p>\n

\"light<\/p>\n

But w<\/span>e can\u2019t just be sad and <\/span>sit in one corner anymore.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

We have to move!<\/strong><\/p>\n

…because things will not get back to the way they were. <\/span><\/p>\n

…because everything is shifting so we should adapt and act. <\/span><\/p>\n

WE HAVE NO CHOICE!<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

Just imagine we are drowning at sea, we have to use the last ounce of strength we have to paddle to the nearest shore or buoy lest it will be the end of us.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

\"survival<\/p>\n

We have to save ourselves no matter what it takes…and we should do it right now.<\/span><\/p>\n

That means we have to look at what we have straight in the eye and squeeze every drop of creative juice and energy we have to keep our music and businesses (custom band merch<\/a>, vinyl pressing<\/a>, custom cassette tape<\/a>) alive.<\/span><\/p>\n

\"creative<\/p>\n

Only when we embrace this mindset fully (and I mean FULLY!) can we start turning our lives (and careers and businesses) around.<\/span><\/p>\n

We can do this, guys! We have to fight the good fight!<\/p>\n
