I don’t know where I would be in my online music education business if it weren’t for reading books.
Reading business and marketing books helped me to think less like a creative and more like a business person, and as a musician, that was something I needed to do.
Books have been so impactful for me that I’ve started writing a book specifically for musicians who want to make an income teaching music online.
However, you don’t need to read books specifically for musicians. You need to read books about business and marketing by those who are very successful at it.
In this episode, I share with you the 10 books that have made a huge impact on my music education business.
