Exestiel 9 Month Life Plan

I've been thinking about releasing music for over 6 years. I've waited until I was more experienced musically and had a clearer picture of my direction to finally start doing it.

Strengths:

Hard Working Musician

Knowledgeable

Ambitious

Stubborn

Weaknesses:

Spend too much time on projects wanting to be a perfectionist.

I'm a nobody

Not a well known professional

Opportunities:

collaborations with amazing musicians

chances to branch into multimedia

Threats:

being a nobody and nobody taking an interest

or not being good enough

Problem: I have no music released professionally

Solution: Release a bunch of original content

Model: 1 origial album and collaboration a year

Magic: Me

PMF: People who like undiscovered independent artists

Competition: Every other independent artist

Management: Self/maybe not sure yet

$ Projections: $0
