It can still be in seasons, but you can’t just start a course or start building your business but then take six months off because you’re not feeling it.’ - Amy Roy [0:12:20] “If you want people connecting with you, engaging with you, you better make sure you’re also in there connecting, and engaging, and encouraging.” - Amy Roy [0:22:13] “I am a perfectionist, which means I’m also a procrastinator because if I can’t do something perfect the first time right away, I don’t do it at all.” - Amy Roy [0:30:24] “I think another good thing to do when you do come up with something you're just stuck at is at your desk or wherever have a notepad or piece of paper and just write it down. Getting that out of your brain onto paper.’ - Amy Roy [0:33:23] ‘What’s going to sell is you communicating with someone emotionally.” - @metalmotivation [0:35:15] “Whatever genre you do, I guarantee you someone needs to hear your music right now, and someone needs to hear your thoughts and your heart right now, and it’s your job and your responsibility as a musician to give that to them.” - Amy Roy [0:39:02] “Selling that first shirt, and getting your website up, or your Shopify store up, or reaching your first 1,000 fans, these are big victories. What we want for you is to get a taste of that. We want you to taste victory.” - @metalmotivation [0:41:42] Links Mentioned in Today’s Episode: The Online Musician 3.0 — https://explodeyourfanbase.com Book a Call With Us — http://www.CallSMA.com The Savvy Musician Inner Circle — https://savvymusicianacademy.com/innercircle
