19 year old boy in need of some advice. (Greatly appreciated)?

[Chris]

Need some major life advice. I wrote a lot and unfortunately it didn't all fit in here. I wrote it all in the link below, if you could give me some help...it'd mean a lot. Thanks so much!

Also want to add: if any of you have any experience in the entertainment industry and could give me a little schedule you recommend in order to achieve my dream in due time, even if it's just one of acting/music/comedy. I hope to have a plan so I can look forward to it. As of late: it's just finish an album before Sept. I'm not too sure what I'm asking by a schedule, maybe like for music you could tell me like: finished album in X amount of months -> ...ahh idk (it's 4 AM right now, forgive me)

I meant a schedule just to keep me on track. Getting on top of my dreams at the youngest I can possibly be would be the best, obviously. But I understand things don't happen over a day.

*** I posted this all late last night and got only one great answer so I'm reposting hoping more people can see and give me some amazing help!

1: practice, make sure your at the top of your game with your music.
2: recording, make sure you give the best possible recording you can. People prefer quality over quantity.
3. Networking, work with other artists in your area, use social media to get your name out there. Reverbnation.com is a great site to upload music and share it with people, alot better then soundcloud
4. book shows at local bars or clubs or any other venue you can the more you perform the more people will hear of you.
5. Perfect your music make sure your sound is top notch and submit demos to local or national labels.

Just keep at it stuff like this takes some time just dont give up and Persue what you love doing
