Don’t make this massive career mistake! [ The Career Builder Show ]

Focus on *one* thing!!

It’s easy to get tempted by what seems like a quick payday doing something outside of audio, but DON’T DO IT!!! URM Director of Marketing Finn Mckenty tells you why it’s critical that you focus on doing one thing and one thing only: being a producer.

We’ve heard from a few people who are working with bands on things like social media, marketing, music videos, and so forth. And while that might put a little money in your pocket today, it actually comes at a huge long-term cost because it takes you down the path of being a jack of all trades and a master of none– you’ll quickly find yourself in a situation where you aren’t as good of a producer as someone who specializes in production, and also not as good of a marketer as someone who specializes in marketing… no bueno!

Why you must be RUTHLESS with your time [ The Career Builder Show ]

This happens to almost every young producer– don’t let it happen to YOU!

Have you ever felt overwhelmed by all the things on your to-do list? Are you rushing from one thing to the next, just barely getting them done on time and sometimes even making careless mistakes because you just can’t track it all??

If you said OMG YES IT ME!!!!, don’t worry – you are NOT alone! One of the mistakes almost all producers make is taking on too much, getting overbooked, spreading themselves too thin, and getting in over their heads.

But don’t worry – we’ve got your back  Eyal has some some words of wisdom on how to fix the situation (or better yet, keep it from happening in the first place)…

This is definitely a good problem to have, but make no mistake– it WILL be a problem unless you keep it from being one. So keep building your client roster, keep taking on more projects, but remember what we said 🙂

How to book your first signed band [ The Career Builder Show ]

Spoiler warning: it’s NOT by spamming your business cards at NAMM

Getting that first established band to say yes is one of the hardest parts in any producer’s career. Once you get your first “yes,” the rest of them come much more easily, so getting that first domino to fall is a HUGE milestone in your career.

But easier said than done, right?? But here’s how Eyal did it with NO contacts, NO credibility, NO legit clients, and with a “studio” in his parents’ basement…

Remember, this stuff takes TIME – you’ve gotta be patient. Networking isn’t a one-time event, it’s a process that needs to be constantly running in the background of your life.

Don’t make the mistake of trying to “close the sale” 45 seconds after you meet someone. Instead, think about how you can build long-term, lasting relationships with people where you’re providing REAL VALUE – then watch the dominoes fall 🙂
