Did You Have A Music Business Plan for Last Year? Did you wake up the morning of December 31 and wonder what happened to last year? I know that’s the way I felt December 31, 2014. I had spent the year dabbling, learning, watching from the side lines, dreaming, wishing, and generally NOT doing.  I had a semi-productive year at best. But I vowed that 2015 would be different.  But I didn’t just hope and pray it would be different, I took specific action to make it different. I created a music business plan. I searched my mind and soul to create a plan I knew would focus my attention, increase my effectiveness and at least double my productivity.  I had to do a deep dive into my fears, limiting beliefs and feelings of inadequacy that were holding me back.  I had to be willing to make long term and short term commitments.  And above all, I had to sit down in a quiet room and put pen to paper and create a blueprint that I would follow. When I look back over the year, I know that 80% of my success is due to this one activity, and the follow through it took to stick to the plan. Create Your Music Business Plan For This Year I remember when I finally took my music career seriously and did this same kind of exercise. It was career-changing.  And that’s what I want for you.  So listen to this Podcast. I go through each of these points one by one and give some personal examples of how I created my plan and how you can do the same.  Here’s what we’ll cover: Create Your Own Music Business Success Plan RESOURCES
