Despite only learning how to DJ when I turned 50, I've been a musician for a while now. There are many habits I wish I started sooner. 

Here are the habits that changed everything for me:

1: Finish music
It seems so simple, but so many musicians, including myself get stuck on this perfectionism mindset and don't output enough to get better. 

2: Show up consistently
Every time you open up your music software and even tweak a few parameters, you are still making progress. Even if it's organizing samples.

3: Build real relationships
While building relationships online is incredible, it's
equally as important to go to shows and support your friends. Nothing beats the face to face interactions.

4: Create and share content
I get it, most musicians don't want to be content creators. But it's important to post content online and let your music be apart of it.

5: Believe it’s possible
It's so easy to get discouraged in todays landscape. You hear every story from the positive to the negatives. It's important to keep going and celebrate the small and big wins.

A lot of this mindset came with experience, let me know if this helped.
