The Power of Resilience in the Music Industry and Entrepreneurship
Harmonizing Challenges into Triumph: The Resilience Rhapsody in Music and Entrepreneurship
Carl Hitchborn
December 04, 2023
In the orchestra of life and career, there's one instrument that resonates the deepest: resilience.
It's this silent yet mighty force that transforms obstacles into opportunities, dreams into realities.
In the music industry, resilience isn't just an asset – it's a necessity.
This vibrant and dynamic field is also unpredictably challenging.
Artists must perfect their craft while navigating a landscape that’s in constant flux.
The journey is akin to walking a tightrope, where resilience is the only safety net.
Reflecting on my path with 'The Baker Says', resilience was more than a choice; it was a lifeline.
It was what kept me afloat during tumultuous times and guided me as I reached new heights.
Entrepreneurship: A Mirror of Artistic Resilience
Shifting focus to entrepreneurship, the similarities with the music world are striking.
As an entrepreneur, I’ve walked the path of uncertainty and risk.
Every decision can pivot your path toward triumph or setback.
Yet, it’s the resilience to persist and learn from each fall that truly defines an entrepreneurial journey.

As an artist, there are so many voices out there telling you what you should and shouldn’t do that it’s hard to know which voice to follow.
The truth is there is a pathway that you can take that is made up of fundamental principles that are true, no matter what it is you are trying to do.
When you know what they are, you can achieve success without having to go viral or spend all of your time on social media hoping to catch a break.
These are principles that were applied by the team at High Time to take then unknown alternative rock band The Hunna, from zero to achieving the following results in only 2 years:i
Played to a crowd of 10,000 in London.
Racked up 150 million streams on Spotify.
Sold 85,000 tickets across the UK.
60,000 physical albums.
Secured media placements on major radio stations like BBC Radio 1.
Secured synchronization placements in major global advertising campaigns.
The magnitude of the results we achieved is hard to fully grasp.
It's not just about the spectacular numbers; it's about the fact that everything we did was by design.
It was all part of a process that we have now defined as the High Time: Artist Success Pathway.
Our objective is for as many artists as possible to know how to follow the High Time: Artist Success Pathway, and to do this we’ve decided to do a FREE limited space training which will take place over 3 days commencing on Wednesday 4th October at 11am PT / 2pm ET online over Zoom and in our Facebook Group.
Cultivating Resilience: A Personal Reflection
Building resilience is akin to nurturing a garden – it requires consistent care and the right environment.
For me, this meant embracing failures as lessons, adapting to change, and maintaining faith in my vision.
It's about harnessing your inner strength, day in and day out.
The Collective Symphony: Resilience as a Community Effort
Resilience, though deeply personal, thrives with communal support.
In both music and entrepreneurship, communities act as crucial support systems.
They offer guidance, encouragement, and sometimes, a necessary reality check.
I’ve been privileged to have a community that shared and supported my vision – a vision encapsulated in the Massive Transformative Purpose (MTP) of High Time, "Solving the World’s Problems through Art."
In Conclusion: Resilience, The Timeless Melody
Reflecting on resilience, I recognize it as a timeless melody in life’s symphony.
In the music industry and beyond, it's what distinguishes lasting success from ephemeral glory.
It’s about rising with each fall and confronting life's challenges head-on.
To every artist, entrepreneur, and dreamer, my message is clear: Embrace resilience.
Let it guide, teach, and accompany you.
It's high time we acknowledge its pivotal role in our life's symphony.
Kind Regards
Carl AKA 'The Baker'
