310 - Don't quit your day job - Drummer's Resource: Conversations with the world's greatest drummers and music industry pros.

310 – Don’t quit your day job

I’m all for huge, hairy, audacious dreams but I’m also for practicality. Quitting your day job to pursue music without setting yourself up for success first is a recipe for disaster. Like Benjamin Franklin said: “If you fail to plan, you are planning to fail.”

So if you’re thinking about quitting your day job to chase your dreams, give this session a listen first.
