It is important to do something that feels aligned with our soul. If we do something only focused in ego there can be energetic blocks.

Your network is everything. Be kind to everyone. The music industry is a small world and you never know when that person that interned for you could end up your boss or help you in the future.

You will make mistakes, it’s important how you deal with them. Problem solving skills will be of one your biggest assets.

Being good with people is key in business. Practicing empathy and kindness to others is key. There is a difference between kindness and being nice.
