The world has led you to believe that financial freedom is not something you can willfully create in your life. You have been taught to view wealth as something that happens only to a lucky few who win a random business lottery or are blessed with unimaginable talent. The truth is that creating excessive financial wealth does not come down to luck or talent. It comes down simply to your beliefs, understanding, and views - the "pillars" that reinforce your every action.

For generations, record companies have dominated the music industry. Artists were unable to get their material to the masses without label backing, meaning that the path to stardom inevitably involved artists having to sign exploitative record contracts. These "record deals" were profoundly one-sided, and usually imposed brutal, predatory terms on artists. Fortunately, times have changed and artists no longer need labels. It is a new music business, and it is time for a new kind of music business book.

Any additional comments?
Useful book! This guide gives a great overview of how to turn your spare room into a recording space to make music. It even has a very helpful chapter that deals with common mistakes when it comes to converting your room. I really liked the chapter about exactly how to set everything up. This has been very helpful as I decide which of my rooms will be best suited to convert into a full studio! Really worth recommending to all!

This is a great book on Music Career.
All of the things, tips and guides that I need to know about making your music work for you (the science of generating money by licensing your music to TV and film) are already included and well written inside. Marie Hamilton has done an incredible awesome job in compiling and creating this book.
Also the unique part of this book is the compilations of the “How to interface with the music industry to sell your songs”. Very informative, useful and well explained.
This book is really a great resource for those who want to learn more about the science of generating money by licensing your music to TV and film.
The book is worthy of attention!
