Success is a Matter of Trust

No matter how you define success - lots of people buying your records, getting hired to do the jobs you want to do, or anything really - it is largely dependent on how much people trust you.

The people who buy your records trust that you will deliver a quality product with style and personality. If you disappoint them, they will stop trusting you and will not buy the next one.

The people who hire you to work with them trust that your skills and work ethic will suit the project and benefit the final product. If they do not trust you they will not call you to work with them.

With that in mind, focus on building a reputation for quality and reliability. It will take some time, but it will be worth it. Colleagues and clients will trust you to bring value to their lives and work. You will get hired. They will buy your records.

There is no shortcut. The longer and better you maintain this trust, the more successful you will be.
