“To accomplish great things, we must not only act, but also dream; not only plan, but also believe.” - Anatole France
— Peter Olsen (@PeteOlsen) October 1, 2014Getting a job as the director of a top high school band program or winning an audition at a major symphony orchestra requires countless hours of hard work and a carefully and diligently executed long-term plan. There are no shortcuts.
But along with that must be an unflappable belief that you are meant for one of those jobs. You must not only dream of great accomplishments but also believe that you are the man or woman for the job.
I am a professional musician who has performed in over 35 countries around the world. I am the creator of The Entrepreneurial Musician, a consulting service, podcast and blog preparing today’s musician for tomorrow’s reality. I am also the owner of Pedal Note Media, a digital media company. And I’ve seen the band Phish 205 times. No, really.
