Selling Lucrative Artistry with Dr. Brian Witkowski

“I’m just a musician, no one is going to pay THAT much!!”
 
We’ve talked about “lack mindset” before when it comes to music and business, and many professionals are now working to change music culture to eliminate it as a factor. But even so, it can be difficult for many of us to charge “living wage” rates as self-employed musicians! And it is scary when we find ourselves comparing our desired rates to things like colleagues’ rates, mentors’ rates, or worrying about losing current students or clients.
 
How can you combat these fears and charge what you need to survive? Join us for our chat with “The Lucrative Artist,” Dr. Brian Witkowski, as he discusses how to combat these common issues and reach your full professional potential!

Comparison is the Thief of Joy

How do you look at yourself? Is it full of criticism, or from a growth viewpoint?
 
In life, it is often easy to look at where others are, where you used to be, or where you want to be, and find yourself spiraling into negativity – EVEN when you’re making progress in reality! Join us this episode as we discuss the best ways to combat the negative mindset and allow yourself to find JOY in where you currently are!

Mistakes Musicians Make Part 3 Strength is the Solution

“But I never really feel BETTER… just less bad.”
If you’re coming off of a performance-related injury using what are, unfortunately, currently typical methodologies, you may have been told something along the lines of, “Do these exercises 5 days per week so you don’t get hurt again,” and then sent on your way to fend for yourself. But after a while of only getting so-much-better and never fully “right,” you may find yourself wondering what the missing link is and why no one seems to be able to help you!
In our final episode of the “Mistakes Musicians Make” series we discuss strength work as a critical yet often overlooked element of performance wellness AND injury recovery. Join us as we discuss our experiences as coaches, performers, and colleagues on this imperative topic!

Mistakes Musicians Make Part 2: Shame, Blame and Ignoring Pain

If you get to the point where you're feeling like I have to say yes to this gig because I have to have the money but I hurt... but I have to... Well I hurt but I can't say no - yes you can."
If something isn't working take care of it now.  
So many of our pain injuries can be traced back to either ignorance of not knowing what to do, being shamed into feeling like we have to take every gig or that we are shamed and blamed for having the injury in the first place and are just told to "take care of it" with no guidance.
In this episode we cover the myths surrounding shame blame and ignoring pain and what you can do about it as a musician to have a long healthy career
