It Doesn't Have to Be Perfect...

Something that keeps a lot of people from doing anything is that they're looking for perfection.  The perfect time, the perfect amount of money in the bank, the perfect whatever...

It's never perfect.  And as far as timing goes, the perfect time to do something is now.

This isn't world peace; it's music.  It's supposed to be fun.  Plus, you learn a lot by doing things.  You can't just expect to know how to drive a car just by reading a book on the subject...you've got to get behind the wheel, and sometimes crash it, to learn how things are done.

Same with your music career.  And like a car, you can always rebuild if you crash.  So don't worry about it.
