This video helped me a lot Rick. Thank you so much for your time and effort into making these videos!

“People that make excuses are not cut out for this business” FREAKIN. TRUTH, RICK!

Absolutely love your cut throat honesty

And Tha Black Church says, 🎶🎵Wellllllllll!!!!!🎵🎶 C’mon Reverend!! ✊🏿🤘🏿🤣👊🏿🤟🏿🙋🏿‍♂️

Thank you Rick yet again

Thank you again Rick!

honest to goodness, no excuses, work is everything

Awesome chat..wow "unfollow me" did you just say that..LOL..that's bold -respect you are totally right learn your craft, earn your fans

a whole video is why you need a record label if you already have the song, the following, the work ethic etc.... its nice to bring them a silver platter with all the work done but WHY bring them in and cut your profits big time.

I love this video, love your honesty and I too am SO TIRED OB *BS*! Thank you Rick!

You’re such a good coach🤘🏻😁 love it!

thanks Rick! watching...

Thanks Rick ! You are right...practice and learning is very important ! I do that ;)

love your advice rick but find it hard due my past im not sure how to communicate with website get a fan base please help

please help me rick i dont have the confidence im desperate to be somebody fir my kids im a good singersongwriter

Thanks for being real. yes, it's a lot of pre work. ok...

ok work ethic, verbally talk at the shows, this is really great advice. do shows, engage fans on daily basis. I stopped cause Need to try to get relationships going. people weren't really talking back. some were but mostly others who wanted to perform with me. which is great but, we as artists need to have fans who will engage. Its a hard balance. figuring it out. Listening. Ok work butt off, honing craft building relationships. yes, gotten advice and read books, still working. read the red book. hard to understand it all. But my book is written all over it. Networking, good thing.

Rick I have to thank you for you no BS approach to the industry. People are for some reason hesitant to admit when they are wrong, or just are way too stubborn to even except the notion that they don't have all the answers. I just downloaded you e-book and have been binge watching you page. You seem like youre a great mentor. So I will definitely be tuning in .. thanks

1) Agree with you10,000%, 2) Thank you for the Rick Steve's style tour of Music Square, Broadway & West End. 3) Many might take this for granted but you have a definite talent for multiplexing...you stay focused on point and I haven't heard one driver honk at you or you slamming on your brakes. Rant on brutha.
