Chapter 8: Learning to Invest in Yourself

"To succeed, you've got to spend money to make money. Talent alone won’t cut it—you need to invest in your career. Studio time, equipment, marketing, and quality music videos are all essential. But you don’t have to blow all your cash at once—focus on smart, strategic investments that push your career forward. One of the best moves? Building a strong team. You can’t do everything alone, so surround yourself with people who believe in your vision and can elevate your game. Don't cut corners on crucial investments like production and promotion. Quality over everything. If you're serious about making it, invest in yourself, your future, and the people who will help you rise."
