Episode 13: Skipping the Line

It’s okay…you can skip the line! For the musician, the traditional way was to go to school, obtain a degree, then apply to a zillion applications to maybe (just maybe) get a “yes” from the music panel. Guess what?! Times are changing and the music industry is changing, too! You can skip the line and be your own boss. Sit in the driver’s seat and say “yes” to yourself and to your career. Work with the people who motivate and inspire you, while making a living!

Episode 11 – Getting to “Yes!”

Have you received rejection after rejection on the traditional path? We get it. It’s competitive out there. Not only because there is an abundance of highly qualified applicants for these academic positions, but these jobs are seldom. When you get past the initial phase, you are rolling the dice to get that one “yes” from three to five people on the search committee.

What if you were to expand your career opportunities to possibly receive more “yeses” throughout the year from hundreds (if not thousands) of people? Much different scenario, right? Listen to today’s episode to hear more!
