And your ideas...cuz they get stolen rather fast...

My goal is to get some nice remix work soon...


Another goal...is to sign some music to a label within the next 3 months.


Those are kinda lofty goals...lets see if they happen.

I've always thought that. Not that I always keep my mouth shout but generally I dont tell people stuff. I see it as people also have expectations of you and if you dont reach those goals, well it looks not good. Good video though.

Three minutes of my life that I'll never get back. Seriously, people, if you are living your lives by the wisdom of guys on internet videos, telling or not telling people your goals is not your problem. An above-average high school student could tear this moron's hypothesis to shreds fifteen different ways.

hmm this might hold some truth, for me i have a lot of goals, but its not that i really keep them to myself, its more so i just dont boast about anything, and i guess im just the type of person who keeps to himself, although i wish i didnt.

i know a 27 year old hip hop producer who talks about making it big all the time and i admirer that, even though he doesnt even know how to open effects in fl studio yet.

fail! lol

don't feel like watching this, can someone summarize what is this good for?

when i started making music, my goal was to make a song that will sound good to me and OK to someone who doesn't know anything about edm. that was just way to easy.

now i want to make a song that will sound good to an experienced producer. it seems impossible

Don't talk about the goal like you've already reached it so that you don't get that social satisfaction of of reaching it.

No: "I want to be the next Tiesto and have millions of people worship me!"

Yes: "I want to work on getting that Tiesto sound."

LOL Maybe not the best example, but I hope you get the idea.
