There’s a treasure of tips and advice out there for DJs/producers who want to build a successful, long-term career. To be successful as a DJ/producer, you’ll have to start at the beginning: a positive mindset.

Having a positive mindset allows you to make conscious choices for yourself and your career. And, you want to make sure you are in control of those choices. 

Understanding your mindset and how to change it is the first step in creating a healthy, self-empowering mindstyle in music. And there’s only 1 trick you need to set yourself up for long-term success, both in music and in life.

Music Mindstyle -
n. the empowered way in which you consistently choose to perceive your world and the emotional, mental, favourable, conscious attitudes* and mindful habits you accumulate to support you in shaping your career in music and your life accordingly, every single day. (*with glitter)

It’s known that four out of five (80%) among the respondents in the age of 18-25 said that they have experienced negative emotions such as stress, anxiety and/or depression in relation to their music creation. (the73percent.com - Record Union survey 2019)

When you’re feeling stressed, anxious or depressed about your music, it is usually followed by not knowing what to do about it. You’re confused about anything and everything: is my music good enough? Shouldn’t I have made it by now? This DJ or that producer is “bigger” and “better” than me, why?

So how do you get rid of this big ‘ole pile of confusion?


What you need is clarity.

Because, what you have been doing uptil now, has not helped you, has it? 

The way you’re seeing things now, the negative, fixed mindset you have now, is not getting you anywhere. You wouldn’t be reading this if it would, right?  

  • When you’re confused about where your music (career) is going, you know it’s not going  to go anywhere if you don’t get clear on where you want to go.

  • When you’re easily feeling attacked/criticised about your music, you know you’ll stay stuck and won’t get clear on areas for improvement. 

  • When you compare yourself to others, you know you won’t get clear on what kind of sound or genre YOU most identify with and want to put out there.

Not having clarity can block you creatively and it can stop you from going out there to new professional connections and connect with your fans. And building and maintaining strong relationships is vital for your career both long and short term.

Knowing how to get clarity so that you can change your negative mindset, move forward and book results. The proof is in the pudding, as you can hear in this episode of Mind The Music, as I’m coaching 2 producers live on radio through a few avenues on how they can change your mindset to get instant clarity to help them move forward right away.

It’s apparent that you need to understand what’s happening right in front of you before you can be in control of your thoughts and actions and make conscious choices and decisions that are good for you and everyone involved.

Not knowing how to get clarity can cause you to feel stressed out every single day. It can stop you from making meaningful connections

Question is, do you know how to get clarity?

Gaining clarity is not about getting what you want right away, it’s about understanding what is needed in order to move forward.

You can learn an easy, DIY 4-step method to help you change your mind(set) in music and gain clarity in a matter of minutes.

Curious to know what that’s all about? Here’s a few questions to get you thinking.

What is really happening? What do I see, what do I hear, what is being said, word for word - not what you think people say!


What exactly is the problem? What is it about this situation that I’m experiencing as a problem? 

What do I need?

What do I want? What is necessary for me and all the people involved in order to solve this?
