Perhaps one of the most invaluable segments of the audiobook is the depth she goes into on the three stages of the creative cycle. Shannon provides not just knowledge but actionable strategies on how artists can change their mindset to enhance their fanbase, turning listeners into loyal followers.
What is particularly commendable is Shannon's approach to treating music as a business. She emphasizes that, at its core, the music industry is about connections – how your music resonates with people. This perspective is refreshing and ensures artists stay true to their craft while being commercially viable.
For many, industry jargon can be a maze, and Shannon provides a stellar 101 on this, helping artists avoid pitfalls and common traps. This is especially useful for those looking to surround themselves with a team. Her insights on what questions to pose before onboarding a manager, booking agent, or producer, coupled with the red flags to be wary of, are crucial.

This book is great for anyone in any business! While Tara Shannon focuses on the music business, this book really can be applied elsewhere as well! Reviewing aspects of business, and money (chapter Money, Money, Money..) is fantastic she also reviews the “why”. Self reflection and looking inward is explained so well. The emotional check in at the end helps empower the reader to feel and acknowledge what they are feeling in the present. Well done. This would be a great gift for anyone considering music as a hobby or a career!
Great for many reasons
