Still Think You Can’t Make It in Music? Read This Before You Give Up

Let’s be honest! How many times have you said this to yourself, “I just don’t have the motivation,” or “I don’t think I can do it”?

If you're chasing a dream whether it's music, art, or something totally different, you’re not alone. This isn’t just about being a musician. It’s about anyone who feels stuck between where they are now and where they really want to be.

But here’s the truth:

Dreams don’t come true because of motivation. They come true because of discipline, belief, and most importantly, taking action.

So if you’ve ever felt like giving up or saying “I can’t,” this one’s for you. Let’s break it down into 3 real, doable steps that can help you get closer to who you want to become.

Step 1: Be Honest About What You Really Want

The number 1 reason people never start is this: they don’t believe it’s possible.

Thoughts like:

“That’s unrealistic.”
“It’s too late for me.”
“You can’t make a living doing music.”

But here’s the thing: those thoughts usually aren’t even yours. They’re built from outdated beliefs passed down by people who were too afraid to chase their own dreams.

So here’s a better question to ask yourself instead:

If nothing else mattered, no money worries, no fear of judgment, no age limit, what would you want to do?

Be a singer?
Produce beats?
Write your own songs?
Perform on stage?

Now go deeper:

Where do you live in that version of your life?
What kind of space do you wake up in?
What does your ideal day look like?

When you define your vision clearly, you start aligning your daily actions with it. Without that clarity, it’s easy to drift.

Step 2: Spend Time in the World You Want to Enter

If you want your dream to feel real, start living in that energy.

This doesn’t mean spending a lot of money. It just means putting yourself in places where your dream already exists:

Watch artists you admire perform live.
Read interviews with musicians who inspire you.
Visit a cool studio.
Walk through a high-end music store.
Sit in a hotel lounge and imagine yourself on tour.

Why does this help?

Because you can’t strive for what you’ve never seen. When you step into the world you want to be in, even briefly, it stops feeling like a fantasy and starts feeling like a goal.

Step 3: Take One Step. Just One.

Once you’ve visualized what you want and experienced a glimpse of it, the next step is simple: Just start!

It doesn’t have to be perfect.

It doesn’t have to be big.

You might even fail, and that’s totally okay.

The secret to every success story? They kept going and learning.

Think → Visualize → Experience → Feel → Act → Adjust → Repeat.

That’s it. That’s the loop.

So whether it’s picking up your guitar again, booking your first studio session, or sharing your work online, just take that step. It all counts.

The Choice is Always Yours

You’ve got two roads in front of you:

Keep saying “It’s impossible” and stay where you are.
Or start saying “Maybe I can,” and move toward the life you want.

Neither path is right or wrong—but only one leads to real change.

And if your dream involves music? We’re here to walk with you.
