I wrote the book for several reasons…. the first was to teach the worlds musicians how to book and perform gigs so they can have an exciting life performing gigs. The second reason is to share a leap of faith story of an unhappy musician with the desire to get out of the corporate world and do music and nothing else for a living.
The A Blast Cycle of Awesome is a simple framework I created that shows musicians how to become a pro at living a harmonious life booking and performing gigs while generating revenue.
I’ll be teaching you how to book gigs in the lucrative corporate and wedding market… there’s a lot of good times and revenue out there just waiting for you! These strategies also work for cover and original music venues.
Not at all, the first three chapters are dedicated to positive mind-set habits and there’s plenty of business success principles in there for anyone to benefit from.
