You hit it on the head. These guys are the real deal and truely nice, down to earth guys. They are well grounded in their lives and aren't "putting all their eggs in one basket". Although they would love to make a living doing what they love (music), they also realize that music is a long shot and that their lives should consist of more than seeking the applause of strangers. They know that this is a step in their lives, the destination of which is unknown. They are level headed, fun, talented, learned, faithful, and reliable. I should know. My wife and I raised one of them! As previously stated .... now off to listen to Ives the Band .... again! Nice post Biagio!

Funny-I cleaned floors and bagged groceries at Rini's in Parma, Ohio. I think a lot of people that manage to find some sort of success in the industry learned the exact lesson you're talking about here: take pride in every little detail of your work, no matter the job. Attention to detail is crucial in this business...if you can do it bagging groceries, you can do it making movies or TV shows, too. Thanks, Dave!

Looks like the secret to anything you do. Growing up my step dad always told me to do your best at every job. Whether it's cleaning floors to bagging groceries. When you find that passion in your life you attack it with even more gusto. Thanks again. Off to check out Ives. =) Dave Great advice Biagio!

Courage is so important. As someone once said, bravery is not about "not being afraid" but about "feeling the fear and doing it anyway." We're usually scared 24 hours a day. And without the drive to keep going, you'll give up after the 50th "no" (or 100th, or 200th...) King is a Fink: We have King is a Fink tattooed on our foreheads! Thanks for stopping by. Gary: Thanks so much. It's funny, because I feel like these are things we all know on some level, but seeing Ives the Band play the other night reminded me of how important these traits are, and how so many other aspiring talents DO NOT display all three (or even one!) of them. Thanks for stopping by! Maria:

Now I have to check out the band is well (thanks to you). I guess that could be another factor to success...having good people around you supporting and championing you and/or your work.

I would add - Courage and Drive. Courage to keep at it despite all reasons not. And Drive to keep you going when it seems a bit too impossible. I completely agree with you.

It's simply bubbling with hope and positive vibes! Love that you've discovered cool people on Twitter like Ives the Band and King Is A Fink - whom I adore. And so agree with your three traits. Especially about having sense of self. Whether writing a screenplay or novel, I find it's very handy to know who I am and what I want to say. Oh, and I'd like if I may, to add one more trait - an appreciation of good food and fine wine. Cheers! Wow, love your blog and this post. It’s simply bubbling with hope and positive vibes!
