The time has come for you to fast-track your diva ascension. You have been feeling it for a while. But, how? Having a clear idea of where you have been and what you have accomplished in the past is the perfect magnifying glass for what needs to happen next. Working within tight time and monetary budgets makes singers feel like they have to do everything by themselves. Do you know which tasks to outsource and which ones you will benefit from doing yourself? If you don’t, you could be leaving money on the table in the form of unrealized potential gigs. Now is the time for reassessment of your musical career and to carry out your plan of action. It is important to identify those things that have helped you accomplish everything up to this point and where you can make improvements.<\/p>\n

The Day 2<\/strong> challenge is to Assess Your Current Skills and Resources<\/strong>.<\/h2>\n

Look back at last year’s Diva Audit<\/a>. Look how far you have come in less than 365 days. Feel proud. Now you can reflect on where you were in terms of finances, messaging, pricing, marketing, tracking, monitoring, and testing in 2013. Perhaps you decided that you needed to review your essentials like resume and bio to polish your overall branding as a professional musician. Maybe you looked into your pricing for gig fees and or teaching lessons. As you examine your past audit, some thoughts may spring to mind of areas that still need a little tender, loving care. That’s good. Keep those in mind for our questionnaire below. It is possible that those areas that need more attention have benefited from a skills vs time vs cost<\/strong> calculation on your part. Remember Henry David Thoreau’s maxim, “The price of anything is the amount of life you exchange for it.” A truthful assessment will assure you that the amount of your life you exchange for the logistical details of music business is valuable. \"Tweet:<\/a><\/p>\n

Take some time and be brutally honest with yourself during the assessment to get the most mileage out of this exercise. This assessment comes from the wonderful book How To Be Your Own Booking Agent<\/span> by Jeri Goldstein<\/a>. I have added some changes to be more specific to classical singing. How To Be Your Own Booking Agent<\/span> has been an indispensable textbook for me on how to make a business out of my passion – no matter how niche.<\/p>\n
