011 - The Business Owner Musician - The Rich Redmond Show Ep 11 feat Harry McCarthy
The Rich Redmond Show - Podcast autorstwa Rich Redmond - Piątki
In today's professional musical culture, it's imperative to think more and more like a business owner. Not like the "slap entrepreneur on your insta description" business owner, but more like the "how many other income streams can I create to keep me doing what I'm here to do, if I'm meant to do it, and lie awake at night wondering how I'll keep all these plates spinning" business owner.
