You don’t have to wait for permission. You don’t have to wait for anyone.
If you want to be the person who follows through…the position is open.
That person is rare and that person is considered highly valuable.
If you talk about getting together, making a call, sending an email, making a promise, connecting two parties…and you don’t, no one will mention it. Because this type of dropping the ball happens ALL the time in the music business. People not following through in these simple ways is “just the way it is”.
So you’re off the hook, you don’t have to follow through. And no one will notice or think of you as a bad person.
BUT on the other hand, if you follow through on these simple things, you have the rare honor of becoming known as someone who follows through (on these simple things). And over time people WILL notice, and think of you as an exceptional player in the business.
That reliable, credible identity is there for the taking.
Are you willing to take it?
