Learn to Collaborate with other authorities in your industry
Whatever your niche might be, learn to rub minds with other experts in your industry. One of the secret antidotes that have brought Davido to light is the way he collaborates with other artists.
Collaborating with other artists does not make you big or small, it makes you better. Synergy in your hustle can make your efforts to be profit-yielding. Whenever you choose to do things all by yourself, you would wind up not improving. Your songs would appear to be stereotypic and your fans would be craving for something new.
For instance, Davido and Chris Brown came together to do a song. Imagine two different singing styles coming together to create a song that was grossing in top charts months after its release. The truth is Davido has collaborated with a lot of different musicians and is still Davido.
You are Your better self
