    Before Terry tells you (just kidding T!), you really need to check out Phils video course. It is really good and since it is online, you can watch it whenever you have a chance.

    Other than that, I think your road map is pretty much ok. Both technical skills and musical (selection) skills are there, as are familiarity with your equipment and marketing. What ratio you apply to them as far as assigning time goes, that is mainly up to you.

    Yeah, the DDJT video was the very first thing I ever bought, and it gets watched a couple times a month to refresh

    Thanks Chuck 😉

    I think your roadmap looks quite good. However I would put the whole “developing a press/manager kit” a bit higher and do this all the time.
    Whenever you have something new put it in a folder marked “kit” and then take some time whenever to assemble it.
    The press kit has helped my TONS to speak to managers and venue owners and promoters much more easily than ever and I think it has gotten me quite a lot of gigs.

    May I ask a question, where do you find the club music to mix with.

    Beatport, iTunes, indieshufle, promo DJ, and Big Green Beats are some of my top places to buy.
    Pandora, Grooveshark, YouTube, and Digitally Imported are excellent places to research new music (Pandora for more mainstream “Deadmau5 & Skrillex” sound, Digitally Imported for exploring specific genres (Its the best one available, in my opinion)
