The Keys to Success in the Arts & Entertainment Industry

Key #1 – Skills

You must know how to run the business end of your business to succeed!

All of the business skills discussed above need to be put together with other skills in order to make your success real and lasting!

Through these classes you not only learn the nuts and bolts of running a business, you will also learn:

  • How to survive an artist’s life without burning out or going crazy!
  • How to keep all the balls in the air and not collapse under the weight!
  • How to overcome your own roadblocks!
  • How to network with contacts so you can capitalize on your successes!

“I’ve been working the ‘S.P.E.C.I.A.L.’ steps outlined in “The Roadmap to Success”class and am having a great time doing it. Inventive, inspiring and creative stuff that’s taking the drudgery out of the business side of this stuff.”

-Jean Synodinos, Musician

Key #2 – Support

You can’t do this alone. Some people luck into having a support structure that propels them to success. For most artists though, they flounder around until eventually they have to give in to life and give up their dreams!

Do not give up your dreams! Get the support you need to succeed!

The Artists’ MBA gives you so many tools that you will never be alone:

The searchable Artists’ EDGE website

Gives you access to all of the information from all of the classes, all of the blogs, everything that Debra Russell has created to help you succeed.

The Artists MBA Members-Only Discussion Group

So you can talk with, share with, and learn from other program members just like you! They can steer toward success and away from mistakes that they have already made.

Personalized support from Coach Debra

“I just want to let you know how important Artist’s Edge is to me. I was in a challenging work situation and listening to your Artists MBA classes was one of the things that balanced me.”

Kate Ruddle, Visual Artist and Sculpture

Key #3 – Luck = Opportunity + Preparedness

The Roman philosopher Seneca said, “Luck is what happens when preparation meets opportunity.”

Nowhere is this truer than in the Arts & Entertainment Industry!

How many brilliantly talented artists have you met who had everything they needed to be superstars except a plan?!?

When opportunity knocks, you need to be ready.

Here’s what you have to do:

  1. Be clear on your goals and visions – You won’t go anywhere without an idea of where you want to be!
  2. Have a plan to reach those goals – No map = no movement!
  3. Take action on your plan – What are you waiting for? GO!
  4. Build your business skills – You are in business, even if that’s not what you planned!
  5. Design and use business systems – Systems allow you to get things done faster and more efficiently!
  6. Be open to the opportunities around you – You can’t take advantage of them if you don’t see them!
  7. Know how to evaluate the opportunities that do arrive – Not every open door is one you should walk through!
  8. Move on those opportunities as soon as they show up! – Action is the way to get things done and acting fast is the only way to get ahead!

 

The Artists’ MBA will prepare you take advantage of those opportunities right away!
