About

 

There has never been a better time to be a music entrepreneur. Fundamentally, entrepreneurs see problems and fix them. Given the state of today's music business, the opportunities for an entrepreneur to succeed are as high as they've ever been. Starting any business can be risky, but throw in the added unknowns of the music business, and this feat can seem nearly impossible. Whether still in the conception stage, currently running your own music business, aspiring to work in the music industry, or anywhere in between, this workshop will focus your efforts and dramatically increase your chances of success.
