You Can Do It!
More people than ever are trying to make a living with their music these days. And it seems just as many are frustrated with their results so far.
If you're having trouble bringing in a sustainable income, it might be because you're emulating approaches taken by people who got in early on the old Music Industry model. The problem is that the nature of this old model makes it difficult if not impossible for new artist to achieve the level of success they want.
The key to avoiding this kind of frustration is to see where things are going and become an early-adopter in the next big wave of the Music Industry.
I Can Help!
I love coaching! I approach every new client with enthusiasm because I know I can take them to the next level... and beyond. I know if they stick with me, they'll have what they want in life.
My goal is to deliver results, not simply bill by the hour, therefore my approach in general is to work in package context. I have standard packages (see below) if you do prefer to work on an hourly basis I have listed my hourly rates as well. In addition, I offer Custom Packages created to fit your specific needs to provide the results that you are seeking.

Package 2 -- "Artist Coaching" $345
Developing a Solid Ministry, Branding & Positioning It and the FCM Booking Strategy
In this package I find out all about your ministry and where you want it to go. We begin with a powerful initial call where I question you on all aspects of your ministry. Then we start to put together an Action Plan to fit your specific needs to provide the results that you are seeking. While I have some specific plans-of-action with every client, there is no cookie-cutter plan that will fit you. You have certain objectives, likes and dislikes, abilities and skills, circumstances and quality-of-life stipulations. Along with your business goals, we come up with Direction: What is your Ministry Focus & Platform?
*How do we uniquely Position you for maximum impact?
*How to use technology to build trust, rapport and increase your status in your market.
*How to dominate your market and be the most respected, in demand person in your market.
*Discover the six points of income generation at every performance. (merch is just one)
Unless you are already a very established artist and have a strong platform, Branding is the primary focus of what we will be revealing and fleshing out. Then we'll go after positioning and marketing.
If you ARE very established, we'll pretty quickly dive into positioning for the most impact and start to introduce new steams of income and much more.
Within this coaching process, I'll help guide you to the decisions, directions and specific plans-of-action for making your ministry succeed. Period. If I don't believe I can do this for you, I won't take you on to begin with.
