So, …… you've begged and borrowed (but hopefully not stolen) to start your record/management/production/publishing company, record your demo, buy some equipment or save up for some studio time. You've put in dozens of overnight hours in the studio, missed numerous important events and dodged all the "when are you gonna make it?" questions from friends and family. You rehearse twice a week and send packages out to record labels, booking agents and the media. You swear that the guy lurking in the corner at your last gig was an A&R rep from a major label. You've designed a fantastic cover for your album and can finally afford to make the minimum run from the manufacturer. Your album and other assorted goods are available on your website, and the raised glossy print on your business cards makes you feel like a pro.

Despite all this, you've got dozens of boxes of unopened CDs gathering dust in the basement, and you just can't seem to get a call back from the booking agent you've been hounding for months. Only 40 people showed up at your last gig and the biggest venue in town doesn't know you exist.

This scenario describes the reality for a majority of independent artists, managers, producers, publishers and labels. None of this has anything (or much at all) to do with how talented you are as an artist, performer, producer, songwriter, publisher, manager or label owner. The three most important reasons behind the success of an individual in the music business are:

1. Adequate funding (i.e. money for recording, manufacturing, promoting, marketing, tour support, distribution, radio, publicity, etc.),
2. A sensible game plan (i.e. knowing what to do, what not to do, and when to do 'it'),
3. Track record (i.e. industry buzz, a track record of releases and/or performances that have made money, etc.).

Of course, there are some other important reasons why artists achieve their goals. They include talent, contacts / connections, relationships, experience, know-how, timing, and more. In addition, it is possible to achieve some headway without funding, a game plan or track record if you are extremely talented, although that is becoming more and more rare lately.

This is where we come in. Can we guarantee that you will sell a million records, headline a show at Madison Square Garden, or appear in the Top 100 Billboard charts? No we can't. No one can guarantee that, although that doesn't stop some from trying. Our consulting services begin by us analyzing what your current status is through our extensive consulting questionnaire . Once we've evaluated where you stand we can begin to design a master plan that we go over with you. The plan includes tasks for you to do each day, week and month. More important than knowing what to do is knowing what not to do. This alone can save you thousands of dollars and a lot of pain in the long run.

Take a chance on improving your career by hiring us to be your consultants. Even though we can't guarantee a million record sales, we can guarantee that there will be a dramatic improvement in your career achievements worth many times more than what you are paying us. You can hire us as consultants on a month-to-month basis, or you can pay for our Master Consulting Package that is designed specifically for you based on information gathered from our extensive consulting questionnaire and initial consultation. Both offer fantastic results.
