Consistency is essential to becoming successful at anything in life, especially for songwriters. I’m so excited to share an outstanding conversation with Marcus Reeves about songwriting and consistency.
The quote for this episode is by Dwayne Johnson: “Success isn’t always about greatness. It’s about consistency. Consistent hard work leads to success. Greatness will come.” During our unforgettable conversation, Marcus and I talk about celebrating career highlights and achievements, practicing music skills, showing up and working on the songwriting craft, longevity and long-term goals, committing to a songwriting challenge, developing confidence with creativity, writing multiple genres, recognizing how not every song will be amazing, having the freedom to revisit and revise old songs, the balance between writing under pressure with a deadline and taking off pressure by not expecting the song to be perfect right away, freewriting in the morning, getting into a creative flow, making time for songwriting, building a dependable reputation, trying a challenge and seeing if it’s a fit, and so much more. Also, Marcus shares details about his project, Ten Day Tunes. I truly loved my chat with Marcus, so I hope it inspires you to embrace consistency as a songwriter.
