If y’all could acknowledge one thing as being the biggest obstacle between you and your craft taking off what would it be? And what steps are y’all taking in order to overcome it?

What is a "Fan Profile"?? Anyone?? I know it's probably so obvious to some of y'all but I just started releasing my music and learning about everything in October. Really didn't start finding info till like January/February

As an artist (speaking just for me) I love making music. I love writing rhymes. I love finding a beat that just hits and sits with me. I'm a consumer as much as I am a provider...then I'm bludgeoned by the non evasive fact that to do the thing I love and love doing it..I have to understand the business. I'm serious when I ask this. What 5 hour videos do I have to watch to understand the music business?? What books do I need to buy. Understand I'm not asking for success. I'm not asking for shortcuts(but if you have proven shortcuts I'm not turning them away) I am asking for information The greats had managers and publicists and teams and everything you could have and still told us they had the worse deals. So I need information if anyone has it or is willing to share
