What do you think his mistake was?

Scott Young shows tweets from a singer asking how to improve his career.

Scott’s response:

In my mind, the biggest mistake he made was simply that he was asking me what to do next. I’m not a singer, and I don’t even work in the music industry.

So, lacking specifics, I gave the advice that was obvious to me: you need to locate people who are 2-3 steps ahead of you in the kind of career you want to have. You need to talk to these people, not just random people on the internet you admire to map out how your career actually works.

Which people are 2-3 steps ahead of you?

Try contacting them and ask their advice.
