I was speaking with a friend in the music business and she was telling me how she had a spiritual awakening. She mentioned how she had a very different outlook on life and the music business. She then proceeded to tell me about a music business executive who had a real bad case of “keeping up with the Joneses.”
This music business executive had a nice car, place to live, clothes and industry peer admiration. These things are all good, except the music business taste-maker spent all his money on consumer goods that were non-cash producing nor asset building. To make things worse he had one source of income, working for a record company.
One day the music business (mogul in training) got the ax, 86d, the pink slip, sent on his way without a bucket of chicken, watch or pension. I’m willing to bet the former music business taste-maker had not read any of the Rich Dad Poor Dad Books, the Richest Man in Babylon, Think and Grow Rich, the Music Industry Connection Book Series nor the Make Money Self Publishing Site.
Word to the Wise, start reading the books mentioned for the music business ain’t what it seem. You can find the books at your local library, bookstore or type in the titles in a search engine like Google, Yahoo and MSN.
