How much do you actually need to go full-time with music?

Hey Reader, Quick question for you, You say you want to "make money from your music" or "be a full-time music producer" but, Have you ever crunched the numbers? I mean really sat down to look at how much money you want to make - and how you’re planning to get there to make a full-time income with your music? ... The other day, I was journaling about wanting to push my music business to $25k/month. But I had a moment of… "wait - what would that actually look like?" Like, how many...

Let’s be real for a second. If success knocked on your door tomorrow, would you even be ready? Everyone says they want to be in the top 1%. But 99% of people act the same. They consume more than they create. They talk more than they act. They want results without discomfort. The truth is: You don’t get success until you become the version of yourself that deserves success. And you don’t deserve it just because you’re talented. Or because you’ve “been at this for years.” Or because you’ve...

Hey Reader, I’m currently sending you this email from France 🇫🇷 I took a 3-week vacation to visit my family and do some wedding planning stuff with my fiancé.

And he does it every. single. day. Even with millions of followers now, he still does it personally. No growth hacks. No...

Hey Reader, A few months ago, I could barely run for 1 minute straight. But after a few months of training, I finally ran a 5K! And weirdly, it taught me a lot about building a music business too. Before starting to run, I read tips. Watched videos. Saved running plans. Asked my running friends for advice. But the real lessons came when I actually started running. I kept cramping mid-run until I realized I was drinking too much water during the runs. Something no blog post warned me about....

Hey Reader, When I first started this music business, I was wondering: 💭 ”How can I make sales while I sleep?” 💭 ”How can I find the right customers or clients for my music services and products?” 💭 ”How can I get email subscribers?” But after 2 years of trial and error, I discovered that the real magic wasn't in any single tactic - it was in building systems that worked together - for you, even while you sleep. Systems that made growth inevitable, not accidental. Today: ✅ My email list grew...
