  • Episode 30: Coaching Session with David Michael Hyde
    Aug 5 2022

    The Pivoting Musician | Episode 30: Coaching Session with David Michael Hyde

    This webinar turned into an impromptu power hour with David Michael Hyde.

    David took The Pivoting Musician’s class in February of 2022 and showed up to support Sarah, Garrett, and Heidi through the TPM webinar on 8.4.2022. Little did we know that he would be the only live attendee from the registered list, so we decided to pivot into using that time to serve David.

    We were able to explore how his new entrepreneurial journey has been since the February class. So listen to him talk about his initial TPM experience, what he’s learned, and what he is currently working on as a musicpreneur!

    To receive your 10% discount off of September’s tuition, schedule your August 11th, 18th, or 25th call before Monday, August 8, 2022! Talk to you soon!

  • Episode 28: You're Invited!
    Jul 19 2022

    The Pivoting Musician | Episode 28: You’re Invited!

    Do you feel absolutely lost in your music career and don’t know the direction to take it? Do you want to leave your academic music job because you’re tired of the low pay and countless hours required? Or perhaps you’re fed up with knocking on the gatekeeper’s door and not hearing a response from the search committee on whether or not you received the academic or orchestral position?

    If you said “yes” to any of these scenarios, we encourage you to be the CEO of your own music job. Stop knocking on the search committee’s door, and start building your door. There is no reason why you cannot begin teaching, coaching, and playing with the people who inspire and motivate you while having a financially fulfilling career.

    Join us at the next TPM webinar, which is scheduled for Thursday, July 28, 2022, at 4:30 P.M./CDT. Click the link below to register for this one-time event with Garrett and Heidi.

    Learn about TPM’s five pillars and how it can start guiding you to your successful pivot today! We are cheering you on!

    The Pivoting Musician | Episode 27: Enroll

    Do you have followers through your social media accounts? Awesome! What about subscribers through your mailing list? Great!

    This is a fantastic start to cultivating past and current relationships with potential clients. However, if you are engaging them through the socials or your newsletter campaigns, this is a great start, but it’s not enough!

    You can create free content via your posts, YouTube channel, newsletters, and podcasts all day long, but if you don’t give your followers a clear call-to-action (CTA), you are a hobbyist. We don’t want that for you. We want you to not only actively engage with your followers but also actively enroll them into your different products, services, and offerings, so you are no longer a hobbyist but a thriving businessperson.

    Get comfortable inviting your tribe into your value ladder to have sustainable income streams. Listen to today’s episode to get a sneak peek of Webinar 5 (January 2022)! Like what you hear?

  • Episode 26: Market
    Jul 5 2022

    The Pivoting Musician | Episode 26: Market

    If you are like most musicians who obtained a traditional music degree, chances are you were not taught about marketing. So why would the music school teach you such a topic if you focused on obtaining a traditional music job, such as an orchestral or academic position? What happens, though, when you aren’t on the traditional path, and you are your own music boss?! If this is you, then you need to know how to market!

    It’s one thing to create your product or service, but if nobody knows about your offering, how will they enroll and become a diehard client? You, the business owner, need to let your tribe know about your offerings through marketing. When marketing is done well, your people will flock to you and your business. They will want to engage with your posts and start building meaningful relationships with you. Learn how to start marketing for your music business today!

    If you want to obtain all of the information from this January 2022 webinar, you need to subscribe to the Pivoting Post. Here, a YouTube link will be sent to you for the entire webinar, plus a live Q&A at the end! The Q&A is just as valuable as the webinar because musicians (just like yourself!) are asking outstanding questions!

    Enroll in the Pivoting Post today! Thanks!
