Genuinely Helpful. Take Notes!
Someone else reviewed at 2 stars, declaring excessive focus on “family first” with “too much fluff, not enough solid [composer stuff]”. Everybody is entitled to their opinion, but I have to ask if this person even got past the 5% mark? I listened to the entire book in 3 days. It is packed full of music business and composition knowledge. CH 1 talks about family, granted. But by CH 2 Steven is discussing finance and time management strategies. CH 3 music education, CH 4 music business and so on. I have been skeptical about internet entrepreneurs selling ebooks in the past, but I'm glad I trusted my gut. I have wanted to pursue composition (being a musician and audio geek) for a while, but thinking of how to make it on my own made my head spin. I needed a road map. Thankfully Steven explains it beautifully here. There are a lot of different avenues for musicians to pursue when looking for work. Previously I wasn't clear on what those were or which ones suited me best, but Steven made it easy for me to decide which to pursue and in what order. His views on generating passive income streams are absolutely essential as well. The book is incredibly concise at just under 5 hours. While taking notes I often had to pause to make sure I wasn't missing anything, a testament to how much great advice is here. The amount of “fluff” in this book is absolutely minimal. This book will certainly not take you from 0 to 100 just by listening, you're going to have to do the leg work, but its ability to put the mind at ease for those entering the music business is phenomenal. One final point to make in regards to the narration. To echo another reviewer, yes, there is a noticeable noise gate on the narration (turns the mic on/off at a certain threshold). I stopped noticing this after a chapter or two though and, honestly, I feel like the review on this point is slightly exaggerated as well. Don't let naysayers deter you from soaking up the quality information in this book, I'm certainly glad I didn't. Well worth your time if you're serious about pursuing this path.

No room for art
I liked the lifestyle he laid out at the beginning. Except he made making music into drudgery that doesn't seem any more appealing than a 9 to 5 corporate job. I understand you have to make money. But where's his artistic integrity?
