Then you'll have the chips stacked in your favor when you are offered a recording contract and you'll be in a position to make a great deal.

The Main Reasons Why You Probably Don't Have A Record Deal, Yet!

By: Sahpreem King

1. Skills: You can get mad and storm off. You can get pissed and start to cry. You can get angry enough to toss a pitcher of water in the faces of the audition panelist. But no matter how heated you may get, nothing will change that fact that you might not be as talented as you think. All your life your family and friends have said, "Wow! You're really talented," and it has started to go to your head. You could very well be the next J-Lo or Nelly, at least according to your peeps, but if no one outside of your support network has ever heard of you, you might be in for a rude awakening. The best way to test your talent is to let other people critique it for you

Peace Terry

Got the invite and will strive to attend this one for sure.

To all the people who don't know Terry personally, and have him on your friend's list, consider your self fortunate. Terry is one of the most genuine people to ever be involved in the music industry, and trust me that is a difficult quality to possess in this business. - HRU

Terry,
You are outstanding! Are you still representing artists/entertainers? I would love to discuss my career goals with you. I should be in town during the National Black Arts Festival or sooner. I will keep in touch. Thanks for finding me. - A.T.

Terry,

Thanks for the add. We met a few years ago and you have clearly been one of my role models in regards to entrepreneurship; specifically in the area of business diversification. I don't think I'd even considered the need for pre-paid legal until I met you (which is why I signed up for it as soon as I started working for myself full-time).
-Thanks - RPM

Hello Terry,

Terry-

You are a genius!

I put the plan into action and I'm building around it.

THANK YOU!!! -MH
