Resolve to be among the top 20% of salespeople who make 80% of the sales.
There is no prize in sales for second place. It's win or nothing. The masters know this and strive for - they fight for - that winning edge.
In 20 years I had sold more records for RCA than any artist except Elvis Presley.
I have a fan base. I've sold a million albums in country music. I've got fans out there who love my music and would like to hear more.
I never made lots of money at it, but I sold enough.
But I remember we sold nearly 18,000 records in one day.
Keep writing, because not only does practice improve skill, it gives you more chances to score on the market. I did that for eight years before making my first sale.
