MMMM: Happy work, making things great, how to be a marketer and stream set
Things to make you go MMMM on Thursday
by Darien J
"To inspire and encourage electronic artists to make, manage and market music every day."
Three thoughts on making, managing and marketing your music and one on mine.
3 for you:
Writer and psychoanalyst Marion Milner on the work required to be happy:
"Let no one think it is an easy way because it is concerned with moments of happiness rather than with stern duty or high moral endeavour. For what is really easy, as I found, is to blind one’s eyes to what one really likes, to drift into accepting one's wants ready-made from other people, and to evade the continual day to day sifting of values."
Record producer Rick Rubin shares the secret to creating hit records (or making anything great):
"If you need 10 of something, make 30. Then pick the best."
Seth Godin on what it takes to be a marketer:
“You can learn to see how human beings dream, decide, and act. And if you help them become better versions of themselves, the ones they seek to be, you’re a marketer.”
