This is the exact 90 game plan I would hand to any new live audio engineer starting in the industry. 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. To be fair, there’s plenty of upsides working for an employer, but if you’ve been wanting to test the freelance waters, here’s your chance.
We’ll cover:
- How to creatively assess your local and national gig opportunities and start generating income fast (there’s more out there than you think)- Why you should start small and build up momentum vs taking a giant leap of faith (but- How to keep your business lean so you’re not sweating about making ends meet- What new business bank accounts you should open and exactly how to manage the money you bring
