I attended an incredible seminar for musicians. The New Music Seminar is a “must” for anyone who is serious about making a living as a musician.

Everyone knows the music industry has changed.  No longer do you HAVE to be signed to a label to be a successful musician. In fact, some independent artists make more than signed artists.  Let me rephrase that, they may not generate as much revenue, but after the label and manager and everyone else take their cut – then the independent musician is often times pocketing more money than the signed artist.

The challenge, then, to becoming a successful independent artist, is learning the business side of the business.

Sadly, many musicians don’t want to “sacrifice the art” for business. I say “sadly” because without the business the art is more often than not NOT heard.  I’m mindful of the old saying, “If a tree falls in the forest and there’s no one there to see it, did it really fall?”  The musician equivalent is, “If you write a great riff but no one ever hears it, did you really write a great riff?”

Then there are the musicians who think they are working the business side of it. They have a myspace or a twitter account.  They ask fans at gigs for their email address. But there is so much more to the business of music than updating your myspace and sending emails to fans about your upcoming gig.

That’s where the New Music Seminar comes in.  If someone said to you, “I’ll give you a plan that will make you a successful musician.”  (The definition of “successful musician” in this case means you can make a living as a musician without having to work another job.)  All you have to do is complete the tasks in the plan.  Would you do it?

If you’re answer is “no” then, I’m sorry to say, your chances of becoming a full time musician are very limited.

If you’re answer is “yes” then you need to go to the next New Music Seminar – no excuses.  The plan for your success will be revealed at New Music Seminar.  Step by step.

I’ve traveled the globe. I’ve worked for Fortune 50 companies. I’ve started my own companies. And I’ve attended more seminars than I care to remember.  It takes a lot to impress me.  I was impressed with the New Music Seminar.

If you only do one thing to advance your music career this year,  that one thing should be going to the New Music Seminar.
