How to Create Your Winning Mindset as a Working Musician with Jermaine Morgan, Musician / Author

What does it take to be a successful working musician? Is it all about being the first one they call for major tours and shows? Performing on the biggest albums? Or is it something else - something much more about mindset than music? According to musician, speaker, author, producer and creative entrepreneur Jermaine Morgan, it takes more to be a successful musician and creative than technical skill and the right numbers in your phone. As a veteran of the music business, and having seen the pinnacle of music ministry, he knows that the key to success is more about character, work-ethic, and discipline than it is about fills and runs. He’s now written a book in which he outlines a framework for musicians who desire to build a career that will stand the test of time. Having been raised in a home that valued hard-work and hustle in his native Mississippi, Jermaine decided to fully pursue music after years of studying.  He then moved to Atlanta where he worked his way through the ranks of the local music scene. His tenacity paid off when he was hired as the bass player and later music director for one of Atlanta’s premier mega-churches, New Birth M.B. Church. However, Jermaine was never content to remain simply a top-tier performer. Over the years he has developed a business around his music that includes bass playing courses, a huge YouTube library of videos, speaking engagements, entrepreneurial training, production services and much more. In this inspiring and wisdom-packed interview, Jermaine unveils the key mindset shifts he made in order to overcome insecurity and self-doubt, and eventually become the confident and disciplined musician and creative leader he is today.Topics covered in this interview with Jermaine Morgan How he developed the mindset of a entrepreneur instead of simply performing or producing How his family background primed him for business even before he had his own businessHow his low seasons as an intern helped prepare him for his rise in the industry and how his work-ethic Why he started creating opportunities for himself instead of waiting for people to call or make him offersHow to deal with your self-doubt when stepping into new levels of Why the power of affirmation is so essential to moving forward with your goals  How his faith in God helps guide his daily decisions as a father and artist\His advice to musicians and creatives who are dealing with a crisis of confidence Get connected with Jermaine MorganBuy “10 Ways to Success: The Working Musician” on Jermaine’s website / on Amazon / on our recommended books pagehttps://www.facebook.com/jermainemorgan2Artist/https://www.linkedin.com/in/jermainemorgan/https://twitter.com/jmorganbasshttps://www.jermainemorgan.net/Send us a message!Don't Build Your Creator Lifestyle Alone.
