A Time For Every Season – how to make progress now

What’s the problem with taking everyone’s advice? Taking the same advice that worked for someone else is like trying to wear your winter coat in the summer. Winter coats are great in winter when it’s cold. But in summer, wearing that winter coat is a chore, and isn’t a great way to make progress. The same thing is true for your music career. There is a time for every season, we are told. In this session, examine some of the common problems that need to be solved by everyone in the music industry, no matter what stage you are in your career. Then explore the a principle based system for evaluating where you are in your journey, and what specific things you need to be doing right now to make progress.

Recommended for:

· Beginners just starting out, to establish a road map for your journey ahead

· Intermediate writers who have been working a day job and haven’t had time to focus on music until now

· Advanced / pro writers who are frustrated trying to make progress in the digital music world

· Support people – publishers, managers, record labels, investors who want to better understand the creative entrepreneurial struggle
