So your ultimate advice to any aspiring musician would be…

Jojo:

Buy music. Buy a ticket to a show. Do not watch shitty movies. Don’t
just complain. Instead take action. You can make the change. You. Make
a decision to support what you believe in, not what someone tells you
that you should. People will respect you. I certainly will.

[Paul Marangoni]

So what options would you suggest are open to people looking to progress their career?

Don’t listen to people in magazines talking about getting PR agents and the importance of social media. Instead, start by orientating yourself to things that will likely never go out of fashion: honesty, sincerity and enthusiasm. Take these basic values and put them into your music, and it will be worth hundreds of times more than all the Facebook “likes” in the world.
