The music industry doesn’t owe you anything. Talent alone won’t get you in the door — work ethic, resilience, and mental toughness will. Rejection and failure are part of the journey. Everybody gets told “no.” The ones who make it are the ones who don’t quit. This chapter is about shifting your mindset from victim to survivor. Stop waiting for a handout. Earn your spot. Use rejection as fuel. Learn from failure. Stay relentless. Success isn’t about being the most talented — it’s about being the toughest.
