It’s not near as scary as you think. I posted this poll last week and the results disheartened me: Out of almost 500 votes 60% of you wonderful people doubt you could make a reasonable living in the live event industry! You might be telling yourself: 1. There’s not enough gigs to go around where I live2. I’m simply not talented or skilled enough to get enough gigs3. The market is oversaturated4. I’ll probably screw up and lose all my opportunities5. How could I possibly “jump” from this nice, stable job to such a volatile industry? Nothing could be further from the truth. No matter if you’re fresh out of high school or nearing retirement I want to tell that *there’s room for you. The industry desperately needs more talented, generous, and dependable engineers. To be clear, I’m not asking you to do anything drastic. In fact, I want you to do the opposite. Don’t jump, take one small step. Then another. Then another. Today I want to share with step-by-step a 90 day experiment you can run to move towards the freedom and opportunity you’re craving with a live audio freelance career.
