This concept is known to be used a measuring guide to mastery by different industries. "10,000 hours of appropriately guided practice was “the magic number of greatness,” regardless of a person’s natural aptitude" There are 8760 hours in a year. If you sleep 7 hours every night then you are awake for about 6205 hours in a year. There are about 2,080 working hours a year (if you work 40/week) Leaving ABOUT 1,715 hours, which about 71 days😅. So that leads me to ask, Artist /Producers/Songwriters -- What are some activities that you would count towards your hours? Outside of recording and writing. Managers/A&Rs/Execs - what are some of your activities that you would consider to count toward your hours?

Ayo yall! Hope this post finds you well. I've been watching Brandman network on youtube for a few years now and recently decided to see if I could get in here. I'm a music artist who spent a lot of time wanting to make games so I've got some unorthodox skills that I use to make 3d music visuals. I think that might be something I can contribute here over the next few weeks if I put something together, please let me know if yall are interested. Thanks! ✌️

As an artist, what is an expectation you have of your manager or A&R? (And if you don't have one yet, think of an expectation you would like to implement) Would you be more interested in working with an established Manager/A&R or would you want someone developing?
