Rico Anthony shares insights from his 20-year journey as a full-time musician, offering practical advice for sustainable music careers without needing a "day job." Drawing from personal experience since 2003, he outlines key strategies for longevity in the competitive music industry.

• Create multiple music-related income streams including church gigs, studio work, instrument repairs, lessons, and funeral performances
• Maintain a humble, generous attitude and be willing to share knowledge with others
• Repair any broken relationships as the industry is small and connections matter long-term
• Continuously grow your skills by learning from younger musicians and staying current with technology
• Invest in ongoing education through workshops, classes, and practice
• Trust that a music career alone can provide sufficient income to support yourself and family
