How To Manage Hurdles As An Artiste - Godhope Uche ( www.houzofgeneral.com.ng)



Digest these below; before reading..

Over the past years as a musician and as a label owner, we have faced many difficulties, and It has taught us to approach problems differently, approach our work differently, and adjust to a "new" normal.

 The mental strain has been particularly great for some people. I feel so bad for people who have to separate themselves because they live alone in music. quite challenging.


What can we do, then, to support ourselves when faced with difficulties? I frequently encounter difficulties in my work as an artist and creator. Even if they are not life or death, they can have a significant impact on mental health. What difficulties does an artist encounter? Over the past few Years, we have faced many difficulties and It has provided knowledge.

In these contents, we'll be more concerned about the commerce part of an artiste, that is, we'll be using words like Sell, buy, etc...

The Hurdles An Artist Faces And How To Successfully Surmount Them

False Identity Syndrome:

You know you've reached that point when you ask yourself, "Who am I to think I'm capable of selling my work?" Why then should they purchase from me? Why should they pay attention to me?


I'm not up to par: (I’m not good enough)

Even while you adore producing, there will inevitably be occasions when you doubt your abilities, especially if you're experimenting with an online media or technique. It's extremely upsetting.


Who would buy my artwork?

This one is typical of artists. In general, people are most critical of themselves, and artists appear to have that trait multiplied by 100.


 People lack the funds to purchase art.

This idea is prevalent among all creators, and it, in my opinion, discourages customers from purchasing from you. It's like when you display a piece of art, you immediately assume that no one will purchase it because it is too pricey. The same folks, however, will spend $70-$100 on a pair of shoes, so why not your artwork?


 People love to comment and express their appreciation for your work, but it's rare to have someone express a genuine desire to purchase it. (also a potential misconception)..


Having a location where people can go to buy your art

You can share it on social media, but they must also have a link that they can click to go to a store.

These are some of the difficulties I've encountered and occasionally still experience. How do you overcome these obstacles while continuing to develop as an artist?

HOW TO MANAGE THE ABOVE CHALLENGES.

First, False Identity Syndrome:

It's all about self-worth, a major problem in our culture. There is no quick treatment for this, but working on self-acceptance and love for oneself is essential.


I'm not up to par: (I’m not good enough)

This is once more a matter of value and respect for oneself. This was a significant problem in my own life, and it occasionally rears its head. To get rid of this, I've worked on myself utilizing EFT and constructive affirmations. These were effective for me if you are committed to have faith in yourself.


3. Who would buy my art?

This has a dual meaning because it is related to both feeling inadequate and having little faith in your own abilities. I've dealt with this a lot myself and discovered that I really don't need to pay attention to those who don't believe in my heart...

I enjoy advertising, but I also write a lot of pieces for amusement. I'm still putting effort into this aspect! In my opinion, a sale needs to feel genuine and beneficial. I truly enjoy sales and can completely understand why someone would find anything useful; however, I don't always see this with my own work. Very funny.


5. Providing a store where people can buy

This is MASSIVE! What activities do you have on social media? Do you actually provide a site for people to visit these images, or are you just publishing lovely pictures? There should be a CTA (call to action). On Instagram, I have one that links to various alternatives in my bio. You're mobile.



I hope this has clarified a few areas you can focus on to better yourself and your art company. Self-development is a huge component of the adventure that is life. Have success and keep creating.

I just had to begin with the above points and way out of the box, in this particular phrase.

One bitter you need to know, here is - "HURDLES WILL EVER REMAIN, FOR MUSICIANS, ARTISTE, AND CREATIVES" . and this is because we live in a world full of competition and strive. so educate your mind, and mental state to adapt and adjust to every hurdle...

One of the unavoidable way's to overcome challenges is to simply "ACCEPT" it and work on it. 

We appreciate your patience in reading this piece, do well to anticipate the Version 1.2 (V1.2)

PAY MUSIC, BEFORE IT PAY'S YOU | @houzofgeneral




These are but just mere earnings from songs in the real sense or digital distribution. All of these, listed above remain the aim Of every artist, musician, songwriter and ultimately entertainer.


Firstly, it is our pleasure to share this inspiring piece with you, and we trust it to be a worthwhile read.


Music has a long-standing definition as an organized sound, that is, sounds pleasing to the ears. This points to the fact that any unorganized sound that is not pleasant to the ear should never be called music.

Every artist and a musically inclined person should be earning profitably from the craft of music, but before it does, have it registered on your mind that "if music must pay you, you must pay music first"

Most rising artists who are energetically fighting to attain stardom, however, do not regard the strive inherent to attending that feat.

Regardless, some artists are most likely to attain success and fame with a twinkle of an eye, some call it "Grace".
But trust me, music demands a whole lot from every artiste who's passionate and ready to scale through the hurdles to attain a height of success.




How Do You Pay Music?


1.Be intentional about succeeding and avoid bad energy.

2.Be ready to serve.

3.Define your sound, and leave a signature in the minds of everyone who hears your song.

4.Explore various ways to help boost your visibility.

5.Learn promotional strategies and know which one works for you.

6.Create an income source to find your music career.

7.Be prepared to accept trials and errors.

8. Avoid negative opinions about people's success, it's highly detrimental to growth.

9. Never borrow to fund your career as an independent artist.

9. Avoid peer pressure that might mislead you.

10. Be focused and take notes of mistakes you make through your journey.

11. Maintain self-love and value.

12. Music pays a consistent artiste who is ready to work, with less target to record label deals.

What this means is that record labels would only consider an artiste who is intentional,

focused, and industrious. Record labels consider many criteria before signing an artiste, so Ling as the music biz is concerned.

No record label would gladly want to sign an artiste who's got low market value, both creatively, financially, mentally, etc

Fame has no fixed time to manifest, it hits at any time and you decide whether or not to respond to it.

 Former South African President, Nelson Mandela’s once-elegant Houghton home in Johannesburg is now an abandoned eyesore. 

 


The house at 12th Avenue in which some of the world’s leading figures were hosted in, was until last year occupied by Mandela’s grandchildren, Ndaba, Mbuso and Andile, who are the sons of the late Makgatho Mandela. Makgatho was Madiba’s son by his first wife, Evelyn.

 

Sunday Times reported that the electric gate is seemingly broken, portions of the roof fascia are missing or collapsing, the tennis court is crumbling and the tiled roof of one of the outbuildings is sagging.

 

Nelson Mandela

 

The once-manicured pavement garden where well-wishers placed stones painted with messages of hope shortly before Madiba’s death in 2013,  is now overgrown and littered with rubbish.

 

It was also learnt that the three brothers lived in the house after Mandela’s death, but Ndaba said they moved out after the Nelson Rolihlahla Mandela (NRM) Family Trust stopped paying the utility bills.

 

The house is owned by Mandela’s company, Iterele Investments. On his death, Iterele and the house vested in his estate under the control of the executors which include former deputy chief justice Dikgang Moseneke.

 

Nelson Mandela

 

Mandela bequeathed the shares in Iterele, and therefore the house to the trust. However, the estate is yet to effect this transfer.

 

When the Sunday Times team visited the house last week, a man who opened the gate said it was being sold. He said; 

 

“I have come to help Mandela’s grandsons … We have put furniture in storerooms. From last week people have been to see the house.”

 

Ndaba Mandela had accused Moseneke and advocate Wim Trengove, a trustee of the NRM Family Trust of displacing him and his brothers by failing to pay the municipal bills. He alleged they wanted to sell the house. Moseneke and Trengove dismissed the allegations, saying the trust stopped paying the bills after they suddenly more than tripled to about R50,000 a month.

 

Nelson Mandela

 

Mandela’s will stipulated that he wanted Makgatho and his children to have use of the house “in perpetuity”.

 

“The trustees shall … pay all assessment rates and other municipal charges and fees in respect of the Houghton property … and maintain the Houghton property in good order and condition.”

 

Ndaba however alleged that trustees failed to stick the willl. He said; 

 

"The trustees decided not to pay for lights in order to kick us out”, and it was the trust’s fault that the house was now an eyesore.

“Moseneke brought people to the house without telling the family so they could do an evaluation. The house is worth between R10m and R15m."

 

Nelson Mandela

 

He added that while the majority of the family had voted to sell the house, “he was one of the few who voted not to. It belongs in the family. I will fight for it, with everything that I have.”

 

Moseneke on his own part said he had performed his duties “lawfully, honestly and to the best of my ability, properly assisted by two reputable law firms who manage the day-to-day affairs of the deceased estate”.

 

He added “I have [alerted] the law firms to these manifold bizarre imputations. I have served as executor at no remuneration. I deny any act of impropriety. I will not respond to baseless accusations.”

 

One of the trustees, Mr Trengrove however stated that the trust had no legal responsibility to contribute towards the house’s upkeep and municipal bills but had to do so because the family “implored the trust to help. 

 

Nelson Mandela

 

Trengrove reiterated that they stopped paying the bills because they “shot up from about R15,000 per month to about R50,000 per month without any explanation”.

 

He said; 

 

“We resumed payment, and paid all the arrears, when the bills came down again to their former level.

“We stopped paying because we felt that we could not spend R50,000 per month of the trust’s money, for which it had no liability, without any explanation for the inordinately high bills.”

 

Trengrove also revealed that an “overwhelming” majority of Mandela family members had agreed that the house should be sold “if and when” it is transferred to the trust.

 

Ndaba however defended the bills increment by stating that it shot up due to a leak. He averred that it was repaired at his cost.

 Danish aid worker, Anja Ringgren Lovén  on Thursday, shared before and after photos of a young boy they rescued in Akwa Ibom on December 2019 after he was branded a witch, shunned and left to die.

 

Amazing transformation! Young boy branded a witch in Akwa Ibom, shunned and left to die, thrives after testing positive for HIV

 

The condition of the child was so critical that they feared he won't survive but one year after his rescue, Saviour Udem is thriving and doing well despite having tested positive for HIV. 

 

Amazing transformation! Young boy branded a witch in Akwa Ibom, shunned and left to die, thrives after testing positive for HIV

 

Sharing before and after photos of Udem, Ms Loven wrote;

 

"Exactly a year ago exactly we were called to look at a serious case. A young boy had been spotted along the road and he was in a life-threatening condition,"

 

''It was just before Christmas and we were all busy decorating Land of Hope for our big Christmas party and suddenly we had to rush and prepare for a rescue mission.

 

"When we found Saviour he was in serious pain. I was not even sure if he would survive. When I made the update on the day of his rescue I wrote “his condition is critical” and that was because what we worried later turned out to be the case.

 

Saviour was tested positive for HIV and when infected, most children in Africa die within one year because of the lack of treatment.

 

Nine out of 10 children aged 0-19 years living with HIV are in Africa and one of the best ways to fight stigma and empower HIV-positive people is by SPEAKING OUT openly and honestly.

 

For many years we have educated our children about AIDS and they know that HIV does not make people dangerous and together with our staff they are at the forefront in school to enlighten their fellow students not to discriminate people who are HIV-positive.

 

As Nelson Mandela said: “Let us give publicity to HIV/AIDS and not hide it, because that is the only way to make it appear like a normal illness”.

 

Saviour was rescued in time and the urgent treatment we gave him saved his life. Today, one year after his rescue Saviour is a very strong and happy child. He loves to go to school and to play football

 

Saviour is so much enjoying his new life at Land of Hope where he is constantly surrounded by love, care and protection thanks to all for your amazing support.

His mother said: “He doesn’t like food. He prefers eating bananas. He doesn’t know anything, he can’t do anything.

In the film, his mum says: “He always graze like an animal. He’s always running away.”


Ellie can only communicate with waves and his mum made a makeshift lasso to chase him through the woods whenever he runs.


“After losing our five children we asked God to at least give us a disabled child, as long as he does not die as early as the previous ones. When he delivered him, I knew it was a message from God.”

 

The mother said neighbours did not consider her son a boy, rather an ape: “This hurts me so much, when my child goes and comes back and has been beaten. They yell at him and call him monkey. It makes me so sad hearing people bullying my son.


“Not only kids, but seeing grown ups bullying him shamelessly. They make me lose my temper. They don’t see him as a human being, only an animal.”

 

One neighbour said: “Without inspection he feeds on grass. Everyone knows he is different, we have never seen another person who can graze on the field and rely on pasture as other animals do.

 

“He can survive in the forest.”

 

As at Monday, November 30, 2020 wellwishing members of the public who watched his documentary have raised over £1,000 for the boys mum so she could take care of him.

 - A black lady, Sydney Barber, has achieved a great thing no woman of her colour has been able to get in the US Navy Academy

- Only a few women have been able to attain that level since the academy became open to female students

- Barber said her position has shown that she will be playing a big role in the annal of American history

 

 


Sydney Barber has made history as the first black woman to serve as a brigade commander at the US Navy Academy.

USA Today reports that she will be the 16th woman to hold the highly esteemed position since women became welcome in the Naval Academy in 1972. It should be noted that the first woman to hold the position was Juliane Gallina in 1992.

In a statement, Barber said she is really humbled by it all, especially how it placed her to play a big role in American history.

Barber is presently studying mechanical engineering and one day hopes to become a Marine Corps officer.

The black woman said she was inspired by Jaine Mines who was the first black woman to graduate from the academy.

In response, Mines said the lady's comment really made her emotional.

It should be noted that Barber is not the only first black person to make history in the military recently. Madeline Swegle earlier in July became a fighter pilot.
