It's not your record or album or EP that will make your career as a musician happen. It is actually your Tour, or lack of one that can make or break your career.

It has been the secret weapon for creating music careers for years. From Elvis, to The Beatles, to Beyoncé and Drake. It is their tours that make their careers really take off.

They have all put in their 10 000 hours. So should you.

So as Steve Blank, the Godfather of the lean start up entrepreneur movement would say, "Get out of the building"

For most artists that can be translated as "Get out of your bedroom."
