Summary: In today's episode, David dedicates some time to those who are undecided about becoming a DJ (or, continuing to be one). How does one know if DJing is a good fit for them, and their lifestyle? It's not always sunshine and rainbows; there are some important considerations when deciding to actively pursue DJing as a "career" of sorts. David goes over the following questions, which one can ask to help understand what it means to become a DJ: Are you a creative person? Are you willing to be in the public spotlight? Are you thick-skinned? Are you disciplined/a self-starter? (This takes initiative, regular attention, motivation…) Do you have time? (See "Advice for Busy DJs with Day Jobs", Episode 62) Do you have the energy, physically & creatively? Can you keep your ego in check? How social are you? Are you persistent? (Can you work hard, even when it sucks?) Are you a patient person? (DJ careers are a slow-burn.) Are you willing to learn / open-minded? Do you take yourself too seriously? Can you leave your comfort zone? (See Episode 57, "Comfort Zone") Do you have passion? (That can help you power through anything else on this list)
