Musicians and Music Professionals
Are you ready to FINALLY understand how money in music really works?
The music "industry" is ridiculously complicated - we all know that, right? - because in fact, it's actually FOUR different industries, all wrapped up into one.
Plus, massive changes to technology and payments systems have created a significant middle class of musicians - and as you probably know, this group lacks resources around financial management, taxes, bookkeeping, and business management in general.
The industry has become more confusing over the last few years, and if you are struggling to make sense of everything, you aren't alone.
As a financial professional deeply invested in the music industry, my goal is to create a network of well-educated musicians, managers, industry reps, and finance pros, who understand the nuances of the music industry.
To build this network, I created a continuing education program that deconstructs the elements of the business so you can make good financial decisions, build a sustainable company, and pay less tax.
Together over 5 live sessions, you'll learn the ins-and-outs of Money in Music, how to manage it, and how you can build some actual profitability into your music business.
You'll be introduced to musicians and managers, and you'll hear case studies from experts in different fields like management, sync licensing, recording, and teaching.
You'll get real life, hands-on information about how the music industry ACTUALLY works, from a group of successful people.
Each workshop will be aired live with Q&A and recorded for later viewing. We will provide worksheets and resources along the way, plus masterclasses with industry experts. You'll have access to a forum to chat with your cohort, and you'll be offered discounts on 1:1 sessions, company set-up, and business planning.
Bundle all 5 live sessions, bonus lessons, resources, worksheets, and community for only $147.
Or drop in to each session for $35.
Your path to financial wellness starts Oct 26 at 1pm EST.
