Sell some CDs, go on the road, etc.. Show them you can do decent without their help, then they'll be more inclined to bring your friend on board.

I'm just back from an extended hiatus from reading others' blogs and look - you've been doing some great posting! It's ALWAYS good reading your blog, and I always do glean something useful. As a singer, on some kind of weird re-discovery of singing and being a Mom and a writer, well... a human being, this post really hit home for me! I've really been living what you are talking about here. (www.musictoliveby.blogspot.com) It is super important to remember who one is at one's core, what really, really, REALLY fires you up personally, what connects you to others, and it's good also to shuck off the old limiting crap and shallow labels that we put on ourselves or on others. It's hard work but worth it, honoring and nurturing those core gifts while building (forging? ouch!) a new direction or identity in career/relationship/life. Thanks as always for your blog and your posts. We're out here listening and learning! Hey, Jason!
