Halfway through the year. Let's check in.
Back in January, a lot of you wrote down goals. Some of them were big. Sell out a show. Drop the project. Finally take the leap.
So at the halfway mark, we want to do something simple: celebrate a few of the artist who are already checking those boxes.
Two artists in our 24/7 Pro community set a goal this year to sell out a show — and both of them already did it.

Liesl — a sold-out tribute in her hometown
Liesl wanted to honor one of her favorite artists making noise right now (Olivia Dean), so she put together a tribute show in her hometown.
She didn't just fill the room — she oversold it. Tickets gone, house packed, a night that landed exactly the way she planned it.

Ogechi — a sold-out night, and she brought people with her
Ogechi's goal had a little more weight to it. She didn't just want to win — she wanted to win with her community.
She pulled together some of her favorite artists in Atlanta — all women, all Black — and they sold out their hometown show together.
Here's what we want you to sit with.
Liesl and Ogechi aren't superhuman. They're early in their journeys, same as a lot of you reading this.
What they had was a clear goal, the discipline to chase it, and support and accountability around them the whole way.
That last part is the one most artists are missing. It's also the whole point of 24/7 Pro.
Pro is the room where this kind of thing happens. Inside, you get:
Weekly coaching calls to set real goals and actually move on them
Accountability so the plan doesn't die in your notes app
A community of artists chasing the same kind of wins — and cheering yours
You set a goal for this year. We're at the halfway mark. Consider this your reminder that it's still possible — and you don't have to do it alone.
Rooting for you,
Yudu
24/7 Artists
