The things Monica Hall has that I feel will make her succesful in her music career:
1. Confidence. Monica knows inside that she is a great singer.
2. Sensitive, yet able to rebound quickly. Monica understands that things are not always easy, and sometimes are down-right unbearable, yet she knows her drive is what is important, not temporary setbacks, no matter how heartbreaking.
3. Caring. Monica truly loves and cares about her friends through their successes, failures, happy times and sad times. It is not superficial. It is who she is.
4. Energy. Monica is able to draw from unfathomable depths of energy to accomplish whatever she truly wishes.
5. Performance. When Monica is on the stage, she knows all eyes are on her. Whether or not this makes her nervous, she portrays herself as a top performer with years of experience. She knows that in order to become successful, she must make people feel that she is already successful and has been for years.
6. Sense of humor. Monica is fun, funny, and brings out the happiness in everyone she meets.
7. Skill. Monica does what she does extremely well, and is willing and able to invest maximum effort into continuously, constantly, and consistently improving her skills.
8. Friends. Monica has a huge pool of friends who are not "fly by night" friends. She invests herself in their lives, and they in turn are always there for her.
9. The inate ability to make people smile.
10. Ability to draw highly talented and skilled musicians to her. Musicians WANT to work with Monica, because she makes them better musicians.
11. Fans. One cannot see or hear Monica perform without an overwhelming desire for more!
These are the things that will carry you successfully through not only your musical career, but through whatever else you may choose to do in your personal and professional life. I don't know you well, Monica, but I know enough to know you are a wonderful person, and I for one am very glad to know you.
The next time your music business teacher asks .."what is so unique about you to where everyone will want to know who you are?!", tell him to go to your next performance. He'll understand then! - Marty (fan)
