3. Self-awareness of your uniqueness
You need to create an identity to be unique and you need to be aware of it. You can get involved in playing challenging music and you can ask people to tell you what they think makes you unique. You can add something that hasn’t been added before or create things that show that you take your business very seriously.
4. Humility
