Your Mission - should you choose to accept it - is to start a record label and release your first EP with over 1,000 true fans in 6 months or less, and have the confidence to repeat this over and over again so you can build a successful music career.
Learn to be able to achieve this incredible mission… even if you struggle with time and motivation!
Spotify only pays $0.004 per stream! How am I going to make any money in music?
If I get 100,000 Spotify streams (which would mean my tracks have some serious followers) that's still only $400, not even enough for 1 weeks rent.
Let alone paying enough for a years rent!!!
How is this even possible?
When you play a gig, are you only just covering costs for the show, sometimes not even then?
Do you feel like you are paying to be heard, and that the promoter, managers, venues and everyone else is making money except you?
Do you see indie artists, labels and bands, who aren't pop stars, making it as successful music entrepreneurs and getting paid?
What is their secret?
Their music is as good as yours, so why are they making money and you're not?
What is going on?
I've got a full time job, where am I going to find the time & motivation to achieve my vision?
Do you feel like you're stretched to capacity already? Already cutting out your weekends to work on music, but still want a life to see friends and family, but you can't invent more time?
Do you find you can't seem to finish any one thing completely?
Do you start off motivated and full of energy, but then something comes up that needs your attention, and then a week has passed, and then a month, and then you've forgotten exactly what it was you were trying to do in the first place!?!
Is it a struggle to keep yourself motivated, and feel like you're the only one trying to move things forward?
Do you wish sometimes you could just clone yourself so you'd have some help and support to get where you want to go?
Then read on..

Where else could you learn all the ins and outs of Launching a Record Label?
- Berkley College of Music has a one year course on music business for $13,473

Is it worth it? Yes, if money is not an issue and you want just a broad overview of an industry that changes quickly. However, there are limitations within colleges and universities have to operate. Mostly, since the courses must be accredited, the updates are slow and cumbersome, which means you might not get the latest or best information. You also only get a very broad and basic understanding.
On the other hand, online dedicated niche courses don't have limitations like this.

Clear guidance...
