So on an almost daily basis, I've been trying to figure out some sort a future "self business model." Anybody else doing this? LOL
I'm enjoying the blogging and the potential to create some sort of an outlet for friends to promote what they are doing, and the things I find interesting. Yet, at the same time, I often have ideas to do something a little more tangible. Like to offer an actual physical product for sale.
This can really be a time to do whatever we can, right? Y.O.L.O. (You Only Live Once) I would love to see every musician friend I have in this business get ahead somehow. Musically, or with a new side hustle. Any one of us who's sacrificed so much to be the artist we've strived for, deserves it. But, the market isn't there. The audience can't be there. And, we all know it's futile to just hope for the best.
Maybe it's time to offer a new food to go service? (I'm seriously thinking about something similar)
These are the things that scare me the most - perusing "non-music" career opportunities:
- The overhead.
- The new self identity in a new business.
- The leap of faith into that identity.
- The fear of success.
Anyway, we are all questioning a lot of things these days. Life is really too short to not consider all opportunities.
