Inside the Diary of a CEO

If you're building a music business and you haven't read Diary of a CEO by Steven Bartlett, it's one of my top recommendations.

Not all business books will resonate with artists, but this one has some great takeaways.

Here are some of the best:

"Remember that your pride has killed more dreams than failure ever will."

"Growth happens when you start doing the things you're not qualified to do."

"When you refuse to accept an uncomfortable truth, you're choosing to accept an uncomfortable future."

And of course, my personal favorite:

"Your ego will insist that you do. Your potential will insist that you delegate."

What I want you to take away from this:

As a musician, you are running a business. Your music or your teaching might be the product, but there's an entire operation behind it that needs your attention - or maybe even more attention than you alone can give it.
