THE SELF DEFEATING ARTIST
The self defeating artist, I have been one. But, not as bad as people with tens of thousands of student loans to Art Colleges have been. They put their work where fans cannot buy. Last time I checked you can't buy anything on Instagram nor Tumblr. Yet people I know constantly show their work on these platforms for an ego boost.
The reason why broke painters stay broke and rely on their parents for every single stinking expense?
They aspire to show their work beside Priceless National Treasures. Pretty self defeating isn't it. If a patron is going in with the "Browsing" mindset. Nothing much is going to change his mind.
People don't browse grocery stores.
National Enquirer and their headlines are the best publication that knows this fact.
People go to Grocery stores to buy anything that meets there eye.
Casinos are great, they even give you a Free Lunch for spending your whole paycheque at the tables. Only then do you earn the Free Lunch.
Food for thought.
Produce, Publish and Prosper: The One Path to Freedom
THE OBJECTIVE: Finding and Keeping Fans that pay you good money for your art, good, and services" - Carmichael Reid
Money as a Means to a greater goal.
"Fashion [Art] is never finished."
The road to success is always under construction...
Excerpt from Mastery by Robert Greene:
"When ever he[Buckminster Fuller], thought of money first, disaster followed...
Most often you deviate of the lure of money, of more immediate prospects of prosperity. Because this does not comply with something deep within you, your iterest will lag and eventually the money will not come so easily. You will search other easy sources of money, moving further and further away from your path. Not seeing clearly ahead of you, you will end up in a dead-end career. Even if your material needs are met, you will feel an emptiness inside that you will need to fill with any kind of belief system, drugs, or diversions."

SHOWBIZNESS
In a world where people want to die comfortably as financial planners.They live like rock-stars spending their 2 week paycheque on Molly and listen to awful techno.
Either way, the business structure remains the same.
Bands never owned their customers, so they never got wealthy.
The music can be timeless. But any honest musician would love timeless money also.
They owned their product, but product without a customer is just inventory and ideas. Product without a means of getting to the customer is worth less than trash.
For the first time, fans are really seeing who controlled their favorite artist's fate. It was not the musician. Hell no.
Without distribution rights to anything. You're broke. Royalty deals are bait for Get Rich Quick Rockers.
When music is free on Distribution Platforms such as bandcamp.com, spotify.com and very cheap on apple music. Anyone with a guitar and mic can get to their customer.
But this comes with a lot of problems that were usually taken care of by big conglomerate music labels.
No more luxury tour buses, No more $500K videos, no more stadium gigs. But, you get to do what you want when you want.
Freedom, Fame, or Fortune it's hard to get all of them in your youth.
Fanbase ownership is what separates the Yachts from the Rolexes. Not only in Music Distribution but in every business on this planet.
Your favorite band is startup. Plain and simple. They have skimpy budgets to make the most of their Marketing efforts and get to profitability like young Jobs and Wozniak...
I never knew who to support. When I hear of Noel Gallagher bragging about being gifted a Rolls-Royce by writing hit songs like "Wonderwall," "Champagne Supernova," "Rock 'N Roll Star." to complaining about how tough Independent Marketing is...
It's polarizing.
I want my bands to be bold and ambitious but don't want them to sell out...
Music without bigger than life budgets, arrogance and bravado is extremely boring. Musicians are the biggest influencers on the planet. Businessmen will never ever be what Artists do to people. They try and try and try. But Musicians will always give you the chills and thrills when they write and perform songs you thought were written for you.
Ironically, Apple has done a good job mimicking this same influence. I've never owned an iPad or Macbook. But, I see it's effect and it's no surprise that Steve Jobs' background and root inspiration was Bob Dylan...
Yes, Bob Dylan was signed to a Major Label. Now even he, has to do some dirty work to get his music out.
On the bright side, the bulk of the reward for the future of the music industry are the bands who can Lead Generate(Market) and keep the best fans. They can get rich, the fans can get what they want and Rock N Roll will live on...
As an aside, the whole point of being an Independent Musician is being broke and cool. It is a fact that when a band goes Mainstream, some if not all first finder fans drop the band...
"They sold out..."
Every band starts as an independent. Even the artists who are on a Major label. They usually take an awful deal that looks great in the short term but end up eating cat food a couple years later.
You cannot eat Independent Spirit. But, it can create Real Wealth you can hold in your hand if you're willing to stick it out and fight for it.
Takeaway: Own your customers! Take Equity over Income. It hurts in the short term. But it's the difference between being a band vs a business. Which every musician wants. They're just lying to you.

MANOSPHERE MYTHS
It's also amazing how many people suddenly find their soul mate before 30. #REIDBOOKS— Carmichael Reid (@CarmichaelReid) September 28, 2017
There is a dip in life that no one tells you about. Let's get this out of the way.
But, the secret is that there is a Romantic Dip as there is a Skill Curve in careers.
It is better to teach guys who have had early success and have simply entered reality where the game is for real.
The key is not to quit. Look around you, most guys give up and fall in love with what they can get instead of what they can have. They find girls on internet sites because they have no social life. They find girls on Facebook or through friends because they have no social life.
You need to start partying and throwing parties again. How do you do that? It's a process.
Realizing that you need to create your own social life is essential to realizing where you are.
The parties dry the fuck up at 30. You need to U-Turn it.
The Romantic Dip is when you leave high school and college and enter every day hum-drum life.
Either there are dudes who get laid on the regular in their 20s and dry up in their 40s...
or
There are guys who don't get laid in their 20s and get laid like champs in their 40s.
You can have it both ways but that's rare and really hard to do. Because Customers who produce your money need 100% attention and being a socialite around attractive and valuable women needs 100% attention.
You will not find the girls you want on the internet. That's where they hang out for vanity and attention. They may have an internet site, primarily to test the water and validate their looks, but for the most part, this is a face to face business.
Girlschase.com is a good site for this.
Do you know where you find girls? You find girls where they want to find men.
Men are not hunters. Females are hunters. Don't you ever get it the other way around. It is not true. If men are, they are very bad hunters. I have been on every forum in the Manosphere. These guys are retards.
What separates World Class Hunters and low-result hobbyists is the ability to think like their prey. To become one with their prey. Most guys in general love to chat useless theory about chicks instead of going for it. They like to do data reports and shit like that, but it seems like they are more in it for the approval of men instead of the approval of themselves. Notice how I didn't say the approval of women.
That comes later, waaay later.
The best way to find chicks is where chicks want to find men they like.
Chicks understand time more than men do. Chicks' value is more dependent on time. But, again, there are plenty of great looking chicks in their late 30s. I'm not going to discriminate.
But the point is...
Like marketing, you cannot be looking for whales in dive bars. As you cannot find great girls in
The problem most guys have is upping their value. Just being seen in a
I know this is the wheelhouse for most guys. It's not money, but what type of money you have. Also, it's not just money, there has to be an attraction there t
Attractive women float to the top.
Like the Super Rich and the Super Poor are hidden.
This is the same with women.
There is a degree of entitlement that most guys have when they think they should just get an 8 without earning the skills to get and keep them. There is tons of stupid boneheaded and bankrupting advice out there. I actually heard a guy advise a dude to buy a used Rolex to get a chick.
You don't need to spend money to get chicks. But you need wealth aka autonomy where you can travel when and where you want and afford to stay in nice places that can both benefit your wallet and your sex life. That's why I never did hostels or anything like that.
1. You need access.
There is no point being rich if you can't get a reservation at a great restaurant.
No one really cares if you're rich or not. But the status that comes with it is essential.
You need to be known for something. That they find valuable.
I did the film thing early to make sure that I am not bullshitting that I am in the film business.
Status is only valued if the person who is interest is impressed by it.
Usually they are only impressed by it if they can get something from it today.
Being a radio host who was hot 30 years ago is nothing.
One thing I'm really watching out for is irrelevant and false prophets.
Because when the tide goes out. The ladies leave. Then they brag about getting drunk with a bunch of dudes.
The great thing about having unique taste is that most of the chicks that I like are over looked because they aren't the "Blonde Playboy" model. I can't teach you how to get that. You won't find happiness with those women.
