This week's question from our Q&A portal "Francis Freedom Fighters: Ask Roxie + Lucas" came up at our 2-day event this past weekend: The Megafan Experience. 

This Week's Question v1.jpg
 

“I really desire to go full-time in my music career, and I see other independent artists are doing this and having success. I post on social media all the time, but I don’t really have a fanbase after doing this for years! I just don’t see how I can create this for myself.”

Your heart has been telling you to go for it. But your head is telling you to wait: “You’re not quite ready. Be realistic.” Or: “You’ve already tried everything!!”

Here’s the thing…

So many artists are Spotify or TikTok obsessed—and watching YouTube videos of self-made sensations wishing you could be just like them, stuck in confusion + emotional conflict waiting for the “perfect time” or simply struggling to get noticed…

…Meanwhile other musicians are using their music as a vehicle to unite audiences, create powerful shifts and earn a comfortable living.

Why not you?

You’ve got the talent, the passion and the drive.

Why Not You? The Difference Between Successful vs Unsuccessful Artists

But the truth is, many of the most insanely talented and incredible musicians we’ve worked with over the years didn’t make it or create success—while others with less talent got on the Billboard charts, quit they day jobs, and went on to make 6 figures and even millions. 

As music business experts and success coaches who’ve mentored countless artists to profitable careers for almost 2 decades, we’ve seen first hand what creates success for artists and what doesn’t.

And we don’t want you to struggle any longer!

When we really started studying and asking people in our network, why life as a musician is so difficult for many, while others thrive? And how do we create income through our music? No one really knew or could say.

So for 6 years, we went outside the music industry and invested over $250K to crack the code—we studied business, success mindset, entrepreneurship, branding, marketing, sales, e-commerce and much more to get the info we couldn’t find in music industry.

As we created results ourselves through this process, we started sharing what we were learning with our clients, and they got the results too!

We learned through investing that there are actually ways to grow quickly. We learned that with the right mindset and strategy that it IS POSSIBLE!

We show artists how start to create a thriving online music business like an elite entrepreneur—so you can get it into the hands of hundreds of paying megafans every month.

And our mission is to help musicians create artistic and financial freedom so much so, that we got married on the 4th of July, to represent how important the feeling of freedom is to us! And we even changed our last name to Francis, which is derived from the word freedom!

So why not you? 

If you haven’t gotten the success you desire yet:

Here’s some of the most common reasons we’ve seen over 20 years why we see musicians stop:

Artists tend to value recognition over compensation

If recognition is a higher value to you than the reward of compensation and the building of a stable solid business...unfortunately that recognition is false. You get the praise and the vanity numbers online, but you don’t have any way to control your process or your results without a solid business strategy.

You can’t value recognition for your art over the stability of your music business and finances.

You must understand how business works in order to create your own economy, or you’ll be ignorant and vulnerable to predators in the industry, and there are a lot of them. 

That’s why so many artists are taken advantage of: they have no idea how to do business at all. The people who DO know recognize this ignorance in artists and have taken advantage of them to this day. They’ve stolen millions. 

We’ve worked with artists with 60 million streams who can barely afford to pay $60 to buy a new pair of shoes. 

1 of 2 things have to happen: you either learn how to do everything that needs to be done in your biz or hire people to do it for you.

Learning how to do this now will save you millions of dollars of loss over years because you’ll know what to watch out for and what to do. 

You must be willing to make some significant changes in your ability to run your music as a business. But if you don’t understand this, you probably won’t. 

Fortunately, it can happen really fast if you know what you’re doing! And we’ve got plenty of stories from our clients along with thousands of successful independent artists in the world right now!  Once we and our clients knew what were were doing, that was it, we took off and our business exploded!

You have to ask yourself this question: “How is it that other independent musicians are making 6 figures a year and I’m not?” Ask yourself, “What is it that I don’t understand?”

Successful singers know their value. They’re positioning their ticket sale way higher than your ticket sale. And the reason why is because they’re vibrating at a different energetic wealth consciousness plane.

If you want to make an impact on the people you’re meant to serve, then you’ve got to believe that your music has value, or you won’t be able to confidently sell it and keep creating more art.

The only difference between successful artists and you is that they made a decision to value themselves over recognition and balance their creativity with their bank account.

So ask yourself: why NOT you?
