I met a guy at a jam last week who sings and plays good harp for a busy band.
His profession it turned out is that he is a primary school headteacher in the inner city.
I asked him how he balances the heavy work load with his music.
His reply was:
Work smart
Focus
Don't work late for the sake of it
Take all your holidays
Give your all at the time
Concentrate on people
Good advice methinks..

Very good advice. I'm a bank teller by day, so I don't know that I'd exactly say I have a successful career yet, but it's a job. But all these seem to be a good formula to keep from burning out between the day job and the night gigs.

Great advice, particularly the work "smart", which is subtley different from working "hard". Especially in careers where the job description is either open to interpretaion and/or self-defined.
