How This Book Will Help You

Placeholder

Thank you for visiting.

I believe one way to do that is to do what you love—
something that really matters to you. Better yet, not
only do what you love, but make a living doing it.

For me, that love has been the guitar. I have been
making money with the guitar since I was thirteen
years old. My mission with the guitar has provided me
with happiness and fulfillment that nothing else has
given me.

I’ve never had a real job. In fact, in my mind,
I’ve never worked a day in my life. The joy, fulfillment,
and fun of working with anything guitar-related never
feels like work.

I want you to experience that joy. That’s why I wrote
this book. If only one person “gets it”, I’ll consider the
four years I spent writing the book well worth it.

Most music career books don’t discuss the mindset
one must have to be successful. It is a crucial topic. I
use well-known musicians’ own words and describe
this mindset in terms the entrepreneurial guitarist can
relate to.

I describe the nutz ‘n’ boltz of running a business in
music. This information is covered in books on
general business. But it can be difficult to understand
how it relates to you, the guitarist. For example, a ton
of general information is available on taxes. But it’s
difficult to wade through it to find what relates to you
as a musician. I tell you the important points that will
directly affect you in your journey to make a million
dollars playing the guitar.

I don’t write in generalities or engage in wishful
thinking. I explain specifically the steps you must take
to succeed.

I have actually accomplished what I am writing about.
Over the course of my career, I have made a million
dollars playing the guitar. I understand how I did it. I
understand how others did it. I can teach you how to
do it too.

I want you to lead a happy and fulfilling life doing what
you love to do—whatever that may be. I want you to
find your mission, your calling in life, and pursue it with
everything you’ve got. Pursue it with white-hot passion.
But pursue it with the right strategies so you can
achieve your goals without wasting time and money or
harming others. When you pursue the mission, the
money will follow.

Quite simply, my book will help you discover your
mission and explain the tools required to fulfill it.

After reading my book you may come to the realization
that a music career is not really what you want. That’s
okay. You can use the information and principles in my
book to achieve success at whatever calling you
choose.

You should be skeptical. That’s why I let you
“look inside the book” to get a feel for its no-
nonsense advice and judge for yourself. I have
also included several articles and videos on this
website based on the content of my book. I also
have a list of recommended reading and
resources for further investigation. Even if you
don’t buy the book, I think you will learn quite a
bit from the website alone.

In addition to the articles extracted from the
book, I have several other free resources on this
website to help you out.

1. The Million Dollar Minutes are short videos
(and written transcripts) of ideas and concepts
that will keep your career on track.
2. New articles (with MP3s if you prefer to listen
instead of read) on topics that will help you on
your journey to success.
3. List of Resources for the Million Dollar
Guitarist. In addition to the recommended
reading list I mention in my book, I will continually
add new items. This is not a list of lists I have
copied from other people or websites. An
amazing amount of worthless and dangerously
inaccurate information is floating around on the
Internet. I will not add anything I have not read
or checked out myself.

Take the first step

To move forward, you must take the first step:

I will help you figure out

what you want and where you are

going.

the steps you need to

take to get there

reach

your destination

faster and more

moothly

2. If you’ve been in the music world for a while, and things aren’t working out the way you

thought

they would, it’s time to move in a new direction. Remember the cliché,

if you

keep doing the

same things you’ve done before, you will get the same results.

I can get

you back on track.

3. Are you doing music on the side because you’re working a day job

? A job

you care

nothing

about? Wake up.

If music is your calling, if it is what matters to you, why in the

world are you

doing

it as a sideline or second job?

I can help you get your priorities

straight.

Take the first step. Read my book. It will show you the way. Living an

unfulfilling or

unhappy life is not an option. It is never too late or too early to

step onto a pathway

to happiness and fulfillment.

I want you to have a great life.
Not a good life.
A GREAT ONE.

What makes this book
different?

I’m a little wary when
someone says their book
can show me how to
make a million dollars
doing anything.

What will I come away with
after reading your book?
