If I had to do my wife's job, our city would be
a burning rubble by now.
She's the CEO of an organization that helps entrepreneurs and startups grow their companies.
Don't get me wrong, it's a really cool organization with a mission I believe in. She's also great at her job. But, whenever she comes home after a long day of navigating the bureaucracy of running a community organization I remember why I don't have a real job.
I'm not diplomatic. I don't care about people's feelings when they're too sensitive for their own good. I ignore passive aggressive agendas with ulterior motives. Those people are too lazy or scared to tell you what's on their mind. If you can't say what you mean, then I'm not going to listen to you.
So, luckily, I don't have her job.
Nor would I want to.
I love being a self-employed audio engineer and business owner. It's great. There's no diplomacy. There are no agendas. There's no bureaucracy. There's only work I love to do.
That's why I love being an entrepreneur. I get to make my own schedule and I get to do work I love. Sure, there are always ups and downs when you're an entrepreneur but having the freedom and flexibility to be your own boss is way more valuable than a
paycheck. Even if you're the boss of an organization you usually have a board of directors to answer to, shareholders to keep happy and employee morale to keep up.
I don't want any of that shit.
I like working with clients that have cool music. I like teaching home studio musicians how to improve their productions. I like writing and publishing books.
But to do all
that, I have to be an entrepreneur first.
You don't get to do whatever you want if you don't lay the foundation for your business first. Once you've done that you'll start to understand how your business sense fuels the work you love to do.
To put it another way, entrepreneurial skillĀ is like gasoline. You use it to fuel the creativity you love to do.
But if you
don't put gas in the car, you ain't going nowhere.
So if you're struggling to set up your home studio as a business, don't know how to find clients, or want to start charging for your work, I'll give you your first tank of gasoline for free.
The gas comes in the form of the free workshop from Brian Hood over at the Six Figure Home Studio. Brian knows the challenge of turning your studio into a profitable business. He's done it himself, going from $25K/year to $190K/year over the years.
He's much smarter than I am about this stuff. The fact that he's made his success in one of the most competitive cities in the US is
saying something. The saturation of studios in Nashville is insane. Everybody and their groupie have a home studio in Nashville!
So if you're looking to find more musicians to work with, and charge a premium rate while you do it, Brian's workshop is the place to start.
