I HAD a terrific post that my remote tool choked on, so instead, jump directly to John Jantsch’s outstanding career guidance here. Yes he’s talking about marketing, but he’s actually laying it all out. As in: “fix your message, fix your follow through, and fix your hourglass first, figure out how to get bigger this way, and then turn the lead generation tap and prepare to witness a flood of growth.”
Read it. Think about it. Apply it.
My remote posting tool is malfunctioning. Sorry for some recent blank posts. I’ll get to the bottom of what’s going on.
My son’s band competed in a Nashville area Battle of the Bands tonight. Against bands older than them.
They won.
And I’m not at all surprised. They rocked the place.
My thanks to TechCrunch for the heads up about former GM of Yahoo Music, Ian Rogers’ launch of Topspin. From Topspin’s about page:
“Our mission: To provide artists the tools they need to build successful businesses.
Topspin is a media technology company dedicated to developing
leading-edge marketing software and services that help artists and
their partners build businesses and brands. We help artists manage
their catalogs, connect with fans, and generate demand for music.”
Sounds good to me.
Rogers understands the networked world we live in and the necessity for companies/services like this. They have launched with a “select group of artists, managers and labels”, but will open up to everyone soon. Keep an eye on them – it could be well worth it.
