Hey, it’s David Andrew Wiebe.
Well, it feels great to be bringing you another episode. I’ve been getting back to the simple joys of creating lately, so it makes the task of putting together an episode for you a joy filled process.
The series on what to do with your music in 2021 is only another one or two episodes away from being complete, and I might even turn it into a course if that’s something that interests you. Be sure to let me know.
I didn’t plan on stretching out that series for as long as it has gone, but there have been more than a few things to cover this year, and I know there’s going to be a lot more to share with you throughout the year. It’s going to be quite exciting.
But speaking of things that need to be completed, I haven’t shared the top 10 posts from 2020 yet, which is something we do each year.
We’ve been doing things a little differently at Music Entrepreneur HQ this year – we’re actually putting a lot of effort into simplifying – so in 2021 we haven’t put as strong of a focus on the new year as we did in years past. Most of what we typically publish made it over to my website at DavidAndrewWiebe.com.
Is this a welcome change? Or do you feel like you missed the new year content? You can let us know. Our contact page is easy to find – it’s at davidandrewwiebe.com/contact. And for quick and dirty communication, Twitter is always best. I’m @davidawiebe on Twitter.
But with that, I’d like to reflect on the 10 Music Entrepreneur HQ posts of 2020.
10 – 181 – Following Your Heart as an Artist – with Videographer & Musician João Filipe
It’s always great when we can highlight a listener, their journey, as well as some of the things they’ve been able to accomplish as result of tuning into the podcast and being part of the Music Entrepreneur HQ community.
João is someone who’s gone onto become a music entrepreneur in his own right, as a videographer for Kscope. His journey is a transformative one, as he went from being a musician to a videographer for his favorite record label. In a way, those types of transformations are my favorite, because it’s like what I went through as well.
People sometimes ask what to expect if they work with me or take advantage of my products. Well, episode 181 of the podcast is a good place to start.
And by the way, if you’ve never worked with me before, I offer a product called the First-Time Coaching Special, which is the heavily discounted version of my one-on-one coaching program for newcomers. You can get started at davidandrewwiebe.com/Special
9 – How to Start a Record Label with No Money
There are always people looking for shortcuts. In this post, I focused more on the possibility of starting a label on the back of sweat equity and low-cost tech, as getting started with no money is mostly a pipe dream unless your plan is to get a loan and pay it ...
