What If I Created A Music Career That Looked Like This Feat. Bree NobleIn this episode Durell is joined by singer/songwriter, podcast host, music educator and consultant Bree Noble. Durell and Bree begin the episode talking about how they got connected. Durell shares that he discovered Bree via a couple of past guests Briana Ruelas and Katie Zaccardi. Bree shares that she is originally from Northern California but currently resides in Southern California. Durell shares that he loves educating creatives because he sees education is often the missing link that stops them from being successful. Durell shares that the beautiful thing about doing music in today's DIY era is the ability to create a music career on the terms that you see fit as an indie creative. Durell asks Bree about her earliest memories of music and she shares that she would sing a song by Charlie Rich entitled “The Most Beautiful Girl” and she would record herself singing with the radio. Durell asks Bree about what made her decide to leave her very successful corporate career in finance to pursue a music career. She shares that she spent 10 years trying to pursue music while still working a corporate job which wasn't working but the turning point came when she made the decision to quit her corporate career to raise her daughter. Bree shares that she asked herself the question of what things would look like if she approached building her music career as an actual business because she wasn't taking that approach up until that point. She shares that relationship building and using resources to create opportunities was very instrumental in her beginning to see success. Durell shares that most indie creative brains don't function in a way that causes them to take the type of approach that Bree took to move her music career along on her terms. Bree also shares that she was glad she had to take the approach that she did because she is very much of a control freak and didn't really like the idea of a label telling her what to do.Durell and Bree talked about the places that she would perform at when she was actively touring and doing shows. She shares that she was very non-traditional when it came to the places she performed. She would perform at churches, conventions, and women's groups because her music was more inspirational and Christian based. She shares that she would perform her life story in song which she enjoyed because the demographic of women really resonated with her. She shares that she would also perform at non-profits which one in particular supported those who are visually impaired because Bree was born with glaucoma. Durell and Bree talk about her expansion into the media space and why she decided to create a radio station that highlighted indie female artists called Women Of Substance Radio. She shared that the station really started as a hobby because she wanted to listen to quality music and since this was before streaming there was no way to create playlists so she created an online radio station. She shares that the station eventually became a podcast which still runs today. She shares that she felt there wasn't enough representation of women being highlighted in the mainstream indie space which is why she wanted to highlight the best music she could find and get them heard by more people. Durell and Bree talk about her being the host of the “Profitable Musician Podcast” where she teaches creatives how to tap into multiple streams of income. She is also the creator of a signature framework called “The Musicians Profit Path” which she has presented at several music industry conferences and is also a best selling book on Amazon.Durell and Bree end the episode talking about some of the educational programs that she created such as the Female Musician Academy and Rock Your Next Release. She shared that wanted to create a community and space where women can be free to discuss and learn from each other and be transparent about their experiences building a music career in today's ecosystem and marketplace.For more information on Bree Noble, please visit her social media platforms and websites below:Bree Noble Stand Alone- http://www.breenoble.comProfitable Musician-https://profitablemusician.com/Women Of Substance Radio- http://www.wosradio.com/Social MediaInstagram- @profitablemusicianllc

https://www.linkedin.com/in/breenoble/ (Bree Noble) is the CEO of a Female Musician Academy, helping female musicians to make money from their music. And she also has some great podcasts of her own: The Women of Substance Music Podcast, the Female Entrepreneur Musician Podcast. How do you take someone from just a great singer to a star?Bree explains that while she works in the music industry, not everything depends on talent. There is an element of constant risk-taking, perseverance, effort and even a bit of luck to finally get your music and talent out there. “You have to take a risk yourself, but then you have to have the perseverance and put in the effort to keep going when that doesn't work out the first time.”Bree also explains that the real secret of successful musicians is not only going viral or getting notices by a big-shot producer but rather focusing on hard work and dedication to the art they’re passionate about. “You know, when you have a small business, nobody knows who you are when you first start, you've got to start off on word of mouth and referrals and start getting your name out there. And it's just the same with musicians.” Back in the day, the only way for musicians to be noticed was through getting a record label deal and taking how. Nowadays, with Spotify, Youtube, and those platforms, amateur artists can showcase their music in those platforms and build their career from the ground without necessarily waiting for a label. So while yes, there is a market there to get the exposure that doesn’t take away the element of constant hard work needed to be a truly successful musician. For one thing, you can generate income from streams by building a fan base. Working as a freelancer, session recordings, teaching, or anything else, you can stream, and once you build a good enough fan base you can monetize from it and you’re also constantly getting the word out about your music and what you do. your fan base is, is an asset that can work for you in so many different ways. Sure, you can start a career without them or you can have a fan base that will support you and assist to intimate concerts or studio classes. The best venues for your music genre Bree advises that you don't try to fit your music into a place where it doesn't belong because it will just be frustrating. There are so many micro-genres now that you can find a place where your music fits absolutely perfectly into that. Bree tells us how she combined Christian music and Broadway music and jazz all in the same performance, you've got an audience that likes variety. So you're not stuck in one genre. You just need to know what your audience is, where you are and how you can serve them. Right now, you don’t need to live in a specific place to make your music career happen. Social media, Clubhouse, and others are platforms where you can share your music globally and you can take advantage of the opportunities the internet offers. Now you don’t need to be in a particular city to meet people. Courses, curriculum, coaching -- teaching artists, how to be better business people. Bree says that she is a hands-on creator who likes to sit down, jot down a few bullet points and then go on a live stream and talk to get her creative juices going. That way she comes up with her ideas in a much more active manner that makes her feel productive. She also told us that she is finding her podcasts much more fun than a single-event summit. What are some of the topics Bree covers in her podcast?Making money from music Ways to be more efficient while making money from music Different tools to use to make your life easier Female-centered businesses What, what advice or insight would Bree have for someone who is a female and entrepreneur and a musician right now?

Hello and welcome to episode 65 of Sing! Dance! Act! Thrive!2020 did not go according to plan! In 2021, so many things are still uncertain, like when live concerts, theatre, festivals, and other events will return. What I know for sure, though, is why I got into coaching unstoppable musicians and actors in the first place. I have a real passion for the performing arts and I am committed to helping my clients attract fans, media, and industry so that they can make money with their talents. It is my purpose in life.I love the descriptive word “unstoppable” because my ideal clients didn’t just wait around last year for things to go back to normal. They were resourceful, proactive, and persistent in educating themselves and growing their audience online. I can coach performers on the how of personal branding, social media, and PR, but the key to success is taking consistent action. Does this describe you? or who you want to become?I announced on the podcast a few weeks ago that I was giving myself the challenge to give away 45 free coaching sessions in 45 days to qualified musicians and actors. It has been fantastic to connect with so many of you during the last couple of weeks. I will continue the offer throughout April so if you haven’t yet had an introductory session with me, now is the time!

Over the years, I have become known for helping musicians become more focused, more productive, use time more wisely, deal with distractions and get rid of stuff that don't serve you. I love talking about this kind of stuff especially since the year is ending and we're looking forward to the new year.I have a very popular mini-course called "Get More Done in Less Time" and I'm going to talk about that in our boot camp. You femusician.com/bootcamp. Get signed up ASAP since it starts on December 7th.Do you pride yourself on being a highly-creative musician with tons of great ideas? For musicians, having too many good ideas can steal your time, divide your focus and keep your stuck and broke. You may actually end up with unfinished projects and half-baked plans.I'm going to show you how the plethora of ideas you have is actually your worst enemy and how it's putting the breaks in your career momentum, and what to do about it. This process has been incredibly helpful for my Female Musician Academy members. It's helped them maintain focus, create clarity and actually build momentum in their music career.As creatives, we are often praised for our ingenuity and imagination and I know we mostly consider this our greatest strength, but some of time, it becomes our greatest weakness. We have a limited amount of resources to work with, especially our time. We only have so much time to spend so we need to be very intentional on what we choose to spend our time on. When ideas creep in, it can take us off course. We need to figure out a way to harness them. The other thing that can happen is you can get ideas by watching other artists and you want to add those things to your plate, which actually dooms what you're currently doing to the unfinished pile. The biggest problem with this is not just the time management issue, or not just that it is dooming what you currently do, but also that you are adapting something that you don't know if will work for you. The artist may be in a different stage than you. You need to assess anything you add in your plate in that way but decide if it fits to your current plan and goals. If it doesn't fit, you need to put it in a place, where you can come back to it when it's already applicable for you.What to do with your ideas:Create an inspiration vault. Keep the ideas for safekeeping so you can access them at anytime when it's the right time. You can use a notebook, your phone, or anything else where you can write it down and not forget it.When to access those ideas:When you are ready to do your next 90-day goals, you pull out your ideas and put them on your brainstorming document and decide if they fit in to what you want your goals to be in the next 90 days.If you ever felt pulled in a million different directions by your goals and end up accomplishing nothing, the bootcamp can definitely help you.

I'm excited to be recording this podcast in my new remote office in Maine. We currently have one desktop which I use for my podcast and my husband also uses to teach his students. Good thing he works in the evening. I also have to balance looking after my kids, especially my 11 year old. If you need help in planning and prioritizing things, you can check my Smart Goals Workbook which you can download at femusician.com/goals Beth Matthew and Cayla Brooke, our Community Managers from Female Musician Academy will share how they balance their lives during this time. Beth shared about having focused time with no distractions. She works for 25 minutes then takes a 5-minute break and literally gets away from her computer, making sure she does something else and not spend time on her phone screen instead. What she does is called the Pomodoro technique. Those blocks of time are called Pomodoros. There are apps out there that tell you when a Pomodoro is over and when it's time to take a break. This works most for people that have a hard time focusing. Cayla talks about some days that felt like managing their business became a total grind but during this time of the pandemic, she is now so thankful for that income. I love how she talks how having gratitude can allow you to be more productive. Having a lot on our plate such as running a business, writing a book, doing speaking engagements, Cayla found that organizing her time is very important. Prior to that, she thought that she had to work really hard in order to get anywhere. She also had the mentality that if somebody else is working and you are not working, that somebody is going to beat you to the goal since they are working and you are not. She realized that it was a dangerous path and we have to realize that it's not all about work. I totally agree with Cayla and that is one reason why we decided to stay here during this time in Maine. Cayla also talks about organizing using her planner. In relation to what Beth mentioned about the Pomodoro, Cayla does some of her chores during her breaks so technically, she still uses those breaks productively. Since she is old-fashioned, she still loves using her Passion Planner. She loves doing a big brain dump and then figure out what she needs to do in chunks. She suggests that you take a look at your life and figure out what you can do to have time for yourself while doing all the important stuff. Like for example, she pays to have somebody do her meal plans for her but that in turn allows her to have more time for more important stuff on her list. She also bought an iRobot to clean her house for her. So for Cayla, doing that has value. One other thing is doing the task part by part during the Pomodoro breaks allow you to finish a task that could have otherwise occupied your whole weekend. Anything you can delegate, automate, plan in little chunks so you can have more time in your life and allow you to get your life back and enjoy it, is worth it. I, too, outsource a lot of chores at home to others or my family. Be kind to yourself so you can show up for things only you can do and delegate the rest. Beth does her own chores and she agrees with Cayla that it is best to do it in small chunks so that it won't get overwhelming. She shares a quote from Steven Cotler, "If we are hunting the highest version of ourselves, then we need to turn work into play and not the other way around. Unless we invert this equation, much of our capacity for intrinsic motivation starts to shut down much of our passion." For those who are working, due to the current situation, everyone else is at home and we may feel that we are actually working all the time. It's a good motivation that if you are productive and did a good job, you will get rewarded for that. Cayla and Beth both agree that doing similar tasks in batches allow you to get them done faster rather than doing one each day or so. You also avoid feeling that...

Cayla and Beth both agree that doing similar tasks in batches allow you to get them done faster rather than doing one each day or so. You also avoid feeling that you are working all of the time. A good example of such tasks are scheduling emails or creating social media graphics for your business.Aside from using an old-fashioned Passion Planner, Cayla shared about using an online tool which imports the regular things that you do into a calendar.Batching, planning, organizing and basically putting structure into your day to day activities allow you to have more time for yourself and your goals.We should also have a "Stop Doing" list so we can be aware and remove those activities and people that waste our time. Good examples are watching too much television or social media. Once we learn how to do that, we can instead spend that time being more productive and doing something that gives us more energy.Perfectionism can also cause a waste of time. We need to get started instead of just thinking about it. We also need to figure out when we are most productive. If you are more energetic in the morning, you can do more work including the hard stuff during that time. On the time of day you feel less energetic, you can do other things that need less energy from yourself.Morning and evening routines are also important. For Cayla, her morning routine starts her day off well. She also has an evening routine to help her shut down well. When she wakes up late, she still makes sure she does a mini-version of her morning routine.She also plans her week every Sunday. She has her main works and needle mover stuff. Needle mover are little things that allow you to progress your bigger goals. Each day, she schedules 3 main works and 1 needle mover. She also gives herself time for small things that allow her to be happy -- like draw, take pictures, call a friend and other small things that make you feel good.

Motherhood was something central to my music career. I only started pursuing it after I had a 2-year old. I experienced a lot of what my guest, Rachel Mason, will talk about in regards to balancing a thriving music career and being a mom. I would love you to join our Female Musician Academy. The first step is to join my free masterclass on www.musiciansprofitpath.com Rachel Mason is a jill-of-all-trades and has helped many people internationally. She has always loved music and song since she was around 4 years old. She has a condition similar to Tori Amos called synesthesia wherein apart from hearing music, she can see it as colours and taste it too. Music has always been a part of her life. She studied it in school and took up classical music in University during the day and at night, she wrote music in the studio. Recently, she took up Masters in Songwriting. After University, she taught voice to students. Although she loved pop, she took up Classical Music since that was the one available in their schools. She felt her voice did not belong in usual genres so she created her own path where she does belong. One time, she had an admin job that she hated. She contacted all the local schools to see if they needed a music teacher. Eventually she found a school that took her and she was able to quit the job she didn't like. She eventually needed to set up a local group for the school and from there, she and her friends set up Euphoria Show Choir. Since show choirs were not common in the UK during that time, that venture opened a lot of doors for her, which included being invited outside of the country for judging choirs. On top of all that, she also manages independent musicians. She won a competition for self-employed people in the UK as "Freelancer of the Year". It was tough competition but the judges loved that she was so diverse and she's come through really difficult things. She works with independent musicians who do not know how to start and she is like their mom who motivates them and support them in their journey. She manages the artists but it is more of mentorship that she provides. If the publicity side is doing really good and the artist feels ready, that is where she prefers to come into her management. Being a mom of little kids, she is grateful to have a good support network that includes her husband, her parents who live nearby plus her sister and her husband. She can be home with her children during the day and does her teaching in the evening. She avoided going abroad too much since that upsets them. She takes it step-by-step since there is no real blueprint for being a working mom. She loves writing for herself and collaborating with other people. She is aware that there are some things she is good at and there are some that she is not and that other person may complement it. Aside from that, she also records music and she did one with her 3-year old. She is also a patron of a Mental Health foundation. She struggled so much going through motherhood, having post-partum psychosis (also known as postnatal depression). Eventually, she admitted to herself that there was a problem and she sought treatment. It's really good that she got the support and treatment she needed and eventually recovered. She also used songwriting to cope with how she felt whenever she was depressed. That makes her really passionate about her company, Lyrical Light. Everyone is welcome to join the group, not necessarily songwriters or singers only. I previously thought I had to give up being a mom after I had a child. You do not. Rachel agrees that it's a difficult balance but it's rewarding. You can have it all just at different points and times. She has a number of income streams she keeps. Her main one is teaching which she does at home which includes teaching choirs. She's had to do the classes virtually during this time. Aside from that, she writes songs and does...

Just like Rachel, I always encourage musicians to have 5 or 6 income streams that you build up so that no matter what is happening in the world, you still have something to tap into.

During this unprecedented time, it’s understandable to feel powerless. With gigs being cancelled and social distancing eliminating key sources of income, you may feel like your career is paralyzed. But there are plenty of things you can be doing right now to be productive and take actions that will fortify your career against the inevitable financial downturn ahead. I’ve heard it said that in a crisis, out of every 12 people, 5 will retreat and bury their head in the sand, 5 will freeze like a deer in the headlights, and 2 will pivot and start taking steps forward. Those 2 will be the ones who emerge with a solid career and a stable income after the dust settles. Here are some ways you can start moving forward and be one of those 2 who recession-proof their career and thrive in the “new normal”. Diversify Your Income Embrace Technology Build Relationships With Fans Build Relationships with Fellow Musicians Build Relationships with Venues Expand Your Skill Set The artists who thrive in the post-pandemic economy will be the ones who don’t retreat or freeze during this shutdown. It is crucial right now to be proactive not reactive. This season offers unique opportunities, and the artists who aren’t afraid to pivot and move forward, taking even one step each day, will build a solid career and stable income on the other side.

Bree Noble, founder of Female Musician Academy joins Ward to chat about her journey from a music artist to an entrepreneur, starting a radio show that became a podcast and doing monthly Q&A sessions to help her members.
Bree Noble is a well known name in the music business industry in mentoring other singers and artists. In today's show, Tara chats with Bree about her own singing journey and how she still stays healthy and motivated in continuing to be a performer alongside being a marketing and biz expert. Bree's first public outlet for singing was in a kid's church choir in some musicals where she soloed. Her introduction to choral music was in her 8th grade English class where some older choir members visited her class and sang to them. Bree started as an alto first and then transitioned to becoming a soprano, as she explored more of her voice through the years. Bree's glaucoma affected her sight but not her spirit or commitment to be deliberate in her singing journey. Here is her take on having to memorize music: “I could always deliver and connect with the audience more and really think about the phrasing and interpretation verses always having to look at something.” “Your whole body is your instrument.” “Being aware of how my voice feels in certain ranges will help me not over sing.” On using your head and chest voice: “Depending on where you are coming from, if you are coming from below or above (how the phrase is), you have to be able to make that choice in a split second.” Bree's advice to other singers: “I just think it's so important to get in some kind of community because a lot of musicians are operating as an island and not having that encouragement daily, weekly, monthly that you need to keep going!” You can find Bree Noble in many places online: Her music is available here: breenoblemusic.com The Woman of Substance Podcast is: www.wosradio.com Bree's podcast: www.femusician.com To get information about the free workshop for her Female Musician Academy, check out this link: www.musiciansprofitpath.com You can also find Bree on Twitter: www.twitter.com/breenoble And Facebook: www.facebook.com/breenoblemusic For a free PDF of Ways to Practice the Voice Consistently, please click here and grab your download: https://mailchi.mp/16a4bd648eac/getfreevoiceinfo You can find this and other episodes on theengingvoice.com and at Stitcher, Google Play, Spotify, iHeart radio, and Apple Podcasts.

Bree has also created several online courses to help musicians learn to make a living from their music. Her most popular offering is an online training and mentoring community exclusively for female musicians called the "Female Musician Academy".

The intro takes a look at the music publishing industry’s revenue increase that’s not trickling down to songwriters, and the Universal vault fire and how it affects record label’s archives.

I toured as a singer/songwriter for 9 years, releasd 3 CDs and won several songwriting awards. I even had the honour of singing “The National Anthem” at Dodger Stadium. I then began coupling the inspirational message of my songs with a testimony-based speaking topic called “You Are My Vision”, a program I have presented for churches and community groups for the last 8 years.” But how do you take these values and skills and turn them into an income production line, as this is the problem that most entrepreneurs encounter on their journey to success. Well todays guest has drawn on her extensive experience of the music industry to create online courses to help musicians learn how to make a living from their music. Her most popular offering is an online training and mentoring community exclusively for female musicians called the “Female Musician Academy“. And not only that she is the host of two top ranked podcasts bringing her passions to an even wider audience. So has she planned all these goings on or are they as much a suprise to her when she looks around her of what she has going on? And does she now have the belief that she could have done all this a lot quicker, or did it naturally have to fall into place? Well lets find out as we bring onto the show to start joining up dots with the one and only Bree Noble

One of the parts of musicality that we haven't covered so much on the podcast so far is the topic of performing, and finding ways to share the music you love, perhaps even music you've written yourself, with an audience. If you've been listening to the show for a while then you know we're not about to tell you that there is one single correct path to follow and that all serious musicians should do it a certain way when it comes to performing or publishing music. But we do think that whatever way, shape or form it may take for you, music is fundamentally about the human connection, and finding a way to share your music-making is one of the most rewarding things you can do in your musical life. Today we're joined by Bree Noble, who as well as being an award-winning singer-songwriter is the founder of the Female Musician Academy and host of two popular podcasts, Women of Substance Radio and the Female Entrepreneur Musician podcast, both of which we listen to ourselves. Bree is a total expert on a couple of topics that may be of interest to you, if you've had the urge to perform as a musician, or to share music you've created yourself - but you haven't known where to start, you've worried it's too late for you, or you've wondered if it might even be possible to make some money with your music. In this conversation we talk about: • Bree's own journey of struggling to figure out how to make a living with her music • The barriers and concerns that hold musicians back from getting their music out there and getting paid • And the sheer variety of options available today for getting your music heard, building up your presence as an artist and making some money with the music you love. We also ask Bree something you might have wondered yourself on hearing the names of her projects a moment ago, which is why she is particularly passionate about helping female musicians specifically, and the advantages that come from focusing specifically on women in music. This is a conversation which is sure to open some new doors in your mind and spark new inspiration about what your own musical life could look like, so please enjoy. Subscribe For Future Episodes!

This week's feature interview is with Bree Noble. Bree had a successful 7-year run as a touring singer/songwriter including 3 album releases, several songwriting and artist awards including Best Female Vocalist at the Inland Empire Music Award (2007) and an opportunity to sing the National Anthem at Dodger Stadium in front of 60,000 people. In 2007, during her time as a touring musician, she founded an online radio station, Women of Substance Radio, to promote quality female artists in all genres. During its 10 years on the air, the station became a highly respected and sought-after source of promotion for female artists, pursued by their PR agents and Record Labels. Bree’s marketing efforts cultivated a large Facebook following, significant listenership, a healthy email list and regular advertising revenue. The weekday Podcast of the same name launched in 2014 to spotlight quality songs by unsigned female musicians. A few weeks after its debut, it hit #1 in New & Noteworthy in all 3 of it's categories on iTunes and #4 Audio Podcast for all of iTunes. Bree considers it a privilege to discover and promote amazing artists who are not getting the promotion they deserve from traditional media. In July 2017 the show hit 10,000 monthly listeners and continues to grow. In 2015 Bree launched a 2nd Podcast, the Female Entrepreneur Musician (also #1 in New & Noteworthy), to serve the artists she had been promoting with Women of Substance. On the weekly show, Bree teaches marketing and business strategies for musicians and conducts interviews with successful Indie female artists and industry professionals that are both informational and inspirational. Bree has become a pioneer for women’s voices in Podcasting. In fact she was recently featured in a Forbes article called “The Power Of Podcasting To Fight THe Patriarchy.” Bree has created a large, enthusiastic following of female musicians over the years. She made this community official when she opened the Female Indie Musician Community on Facebook in July 2016. By mid 2018 the group will have amassed over 3,000 engaged members. Drawing on her extensive experience as a musician and entrepreneur, Bree has created several online courses to help musicians learn to make a living from their music. Her most popular offering is an online training and mentoring community exclusively for female musicians called the "Female Musician Academy". Additional Resources: Get this Book!!!!

As the Founder of Women of Substance Radio Podcast, Female Entrepreneur Musician and the Female Musician Academy, I am no stranger to burnout. Today I share the classic (and not-so-classic) signs of burnout and the changes to make so you avoid burn out mode. Burnout can effect anyone, in fact, I had my first bout with burnout in my corporate career. Extreme stress and pushing yourself too hard can lead to physical illness and mental depletion. During the recent Profitable Musician Summit, I knew I would be busy so I took proactive steps to keep my health and sanity in check. It got me thinking how hard Indie musicians work. Catching the signs of burnout before they take over can mean more progress, not only in projects, but an entire music career. Signs of burnout: Stress Illness Insomnia Lethargy Lack of focus or engagement Cynicism & Negativity: It feels “heavy,” literally and figuratively Numb or Seeking Solace in Addictive Behaviors Make changes: Goal-setting Find help Take a vacation or start planning a vacation Location & Familiar vs New Daily Routine of Downtime Permission for a Little Mindless Entertainment Find another creative outlet Do JUST 3 things each day Resources Email your questions for Bree to answer on the show: Bree@FEMusician.com Leave your audio questions for Bree to play on the air and answer (you can promote yourself too): SpeakPipe Subscribe to the show on iTunes Give us a review on iTunes Listen on Soundcloud Show Editing by Jen Edds at 317 Sound Design Music by Stella Ronson ABOUT HOST BREE NOBLE Bree Noble is an entrepreneur, musician and speaker.

Bree Noble returned to the podcast this week to talk about The Profitable Musician Summit, a project that's been months in the making. The event will include dozens of speaker interviews with musicians and music marketing professionals. Topics of discussion throughout the event will focus on the many revenue streams available to working musicians. The timing of our conversation was such that I caught Bree just prior to the live portion of the event. We discuss the event inception and the mechanics of how she put it all together. Bree also gives an update on her longtime projects The Female Entrepreneur Musician Podcast, Women of Substance Radio Podcast and The Female Musician Academy. Bree's first appearance on this podcast was in episode 17. In that episode she shares the story behind her passion for educating other indie artists. As soon as our conversation began for this episode, I was reminded that Bree is a natural as an interviewee (and interviewer). It's no wonder, as she's published over 150 episodes of the FE Musician Podcast, and is closing in on 300 episodes of the Women of Substance Radio Podcast. Bree is also a natural educator. She has a thriving Facebook community for female artists; a growing library of online courses for entrepreneurial musicians, and is now bringing an epic online event to the musicians of earth. That event is the aforementioned Profitable Musician Summit. Bree's name has come up in several episodes of this podcast. The reason for this is that she has built a solid reputation as an educator for the indie musician. I expect that the Profitable Musician Summit will not only help indie artists reach the next level of their careers, but that it will also take Bree and her music entrepreneur community to new heights.

Inevitably, things happen that will derail your course but stepping back and taking a look at what is happening every 90 days will set you up for success all year long. If you’re not sure what music habits to start, get my FREE Smart Goals Workbook (http://femusician.com/goals) .
