184. Music Entrepreneur Success – Practical Tools & Mindset

Whether you realize it or not, as a musician, you are a music entrepreneur.

If you’re wondering what a music entrepreneur is and how to act like one, check out this Podcast Episode.

In order to succeed as a music entrepreneur, you first need to acknowledge that working on your business skills is important. I realize that focusing on the business side of music might not come naturally. You might even be resisting learning about business because you think that either you won’t be good at it or that it will hamper your creative side.

As a business woman and a creative, you can not only learn the business side, but you can find ways to make it easier, fit more with your personality and gifts and even make it fun.
